0:00.0	You're listening to God's Big Story, a podcast for kids. Every week we teach the Bible,
0:16.7	sing the Bible, and talk about what it means with a friend or two. I'm your host Anna, and I'm here
0:21.6	with my co-host Matt. Howdy, friends. Today, we're going to talk about how God is good, using a
0:27.9	story from the Bible. We've been learning about the life of Christ. We saw in Advent that Jesus
0:33.7	came down and was born as a baby, but he didn't stay a baby, he grew up.
0:39.1	The Bible says that Jesus grew to be a man who never sinned.
0:43.3	Then we learned that he was baptized and tempted.
0:46.6	And last episode, we read that Jesus chose 12 disciples or followers
0:52.1	to be his very close friends, to be with him, and to help him in his ministry.

1:50.1	Surely they're just stories to make the Bible more fun, right? I mean, one time I read about a man named Jonah who was tossed off his ship and into some water,
1:54.1	and then he was gobbled up by a huge fish.
1:56.4	They just sped him back out somewhere else.
1:59.4	I've never seen anything like that happen in real life.
2:04.6	I suppose there are a lot of things that can be hard to believe in the Bible. Well, how do we know what's true?
2:06.6	Hmm, maybe we need some help.
2:09.6	Or someone's help, someone's smart, who thinks about how to teach other people.
