Summary

In the final episode of our special Bible mini-season, Anna and Matt are joined by Rick the Missionary—someone who shares God’s good news with people who’ve never heard it before! Rick tells stories from his work in the Middle East and helps us understand that the Bible isn’t just for some people—it’s for everyone. Together, they talk about how the Bible is God’s true word, full of good news about Jesus, and meant to be shared with the whole world. What You’ll Learn: 🌍 The Bible is one big book made up of 66 smaller ones—all telling God’s rescue story. 📖 It teaches truth, corrects sin, and helps us live the way God wants us to. ✝️ The gospel means “good news”—God’s plan to save us through Jesus. 📢 Missionaries like Rick bring this good news to people who’ve never heard it. 🧭 The Bible helps us know what’s true and shows us how to follow Jesus. Try This at Home: ✅ Read Romans 6:23 or 2 Timothy 3:16–17 and talk about what they mean. ✅ Say a prayer for people around the world who don’t yet have the Bible. ✅ Ask: “Who could we share God’s good news with this week?” ✅ Make a “Good News” poster that shows what Jesus has done for you! Looking for a fun way to teach your kids the Gospel? Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠Penelope Judd⁠⁠⁠⁠—a musical storybook by Shai Linne about a girl in a messy world who gets an invite from a spotless Prince.
