Get ready to join Julie and Matt, as they unpack the meaning of the 8th commandment, 'You shall not steal'. In this episode, we invite our good friend and baseball player, Justin, to share his unique perspective on the concept of 'stealing' within the realm of baseball. Tune in as we explore the differences between stealing in a game like baseball and stealing outside of the game. We also journey through the story of Jacob and Esau from the Bible, a classic tale of deceit and theft. We unpack how stealing was not only wrong in God's eyes but also a demonstration of a lack of trust in God's plan. We wrap up the episode with a fun game to review what we learned and reflect on how we can trust in God's plan for us. Watch this video to learn all 10 commandments!

That's what Kaleidoscope is for us. It's perfect for kids ages 6-12 and makes the most fabulous Christmas gift. Let me tell you more: as a parent, you want to give your kids helpful, faithful, Biblical resources as early as you can. But eventually, kids grow out of storybook bibles (+ they've read them a million times). So, what's next? Jumping straight to an adult translation is a HUGE leap... most of them are written at a high school level or higher and kids find them boring, cumbersome, and just simply too much! What's a parent to do with that tricky in-between stage to keep kids engaged in studying God's word? That's where Kaleidoscope comes in. They help bridge the gap between storybook bibles and adult translations by retelling every book of the Bible at an elementary reading level in beautifully designed, single-volume chapter books. Your kids will learn in words and language they can understand! SEE... where was that when we were kids, am i right?? Kaleidoscope also has volumes on everything from Genesis and Exodus to Mark and Romans. Check them out today at readkaleidoscope.com or follow them on Instagram at @readkaleidoscope.
