Summary

Anna and Matt are joined by Will Derness—aka “Will,” the expert helper with a sash full of badges! Will brings along his special gospel timeline badges to help explain how the whole Bible tells one big story—from creation to Jesus’ return as the forever King. With songs, jokes, and a memory verse from 2 Timothy 3:16–17, this episode helps kids understand that the Bible is God’s true word—and it’s meant to help us know, love, trust, and obey Him. What You’ll Learn: 📖 The Bible is one big story made up of 66 books. 🎯 It tells us about God’s plan—from creation to forever! 🏕️ Will’s gospel timeline badges help explain key moments like the fall, the promise, salvation, and more. 💬 God wants us to know who He is and what He’s done. 🎵 Fun songs and verses help us remember what the Bible says! Try This at Home: ✅ Make your own "gospel timeline" with pictures or stickers to show the big moments in the Bible. ✅ Read Genesis 1 and talk about what it tells you about God. ✅ Memorize 2 Timothy 3:16–17 as a family—try singing it! ✅ At dinner, ask: “What part of God’s big story did we hear today?” Looking for a fun way to teach your kids the Gospel?
