Scripture: Mark 5:21–35 Series: Mark part 17 In today's episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark and meet a woman who had been sick for twelve years. She had tried everything. Spent everything. And nothing had worked. But she had heard about Jesus—and she believed that if she could just get close enough to touch His cloak, she would be healed. And she was. Instantly. But then Jesus stopped and asked, "Who touched me?" The disciples thought it was a silly question—everyone was touching Him! So why did Jesus stop and ask? Today we find out. We also meet Jairus—an important man who falls at Jesus' feet and begs Him to come heal his dying daughter. Jesus agrees and heads that way. But then the news arrives: "Your daughter is dead." We will have to wait until next time to find out what happens next… In This Episode We Talk About: Why Jesus stopped What a superstition is and why Jesus didn't want the woman to have one What faith really means for young kids today How to trust Jesus with the things that feel scary or hard 📣 How Does My Child Get a Listener Shout-Out?

Mark 1:1–8 Before Jesus begins teaching, performing miracles, or gathering crowds, God sends someone first to prepare the way. In this episode, kids meet John the Baptist—the “voice in the wilderness”—and travel with families to the Jordan River to hear his message and see people being baptized. Along the way, we learn what repentance means, why John said he wasn’t even worthy to untie Jesus’ sandals, and how all of this was part of God’s plan from the very beginning. We’ll also hear a true story about the Titanic and discover why warnings aren’t meant to scare us—they’re meant to save us. Most of all, children will be reminded that God is patient, kind, and loving. Even when people mess up or forget Him, God always welcomes His children back when they ask for forgiveness. 🎯 Big idea: God lovingly warns us because He wants to save us—and Jesus is the King who came to rescue us. ------------ Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠kbspodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and click Support & Bonus Content to: 💛 Give a one-time gift of any amount OR 🙌 Access the entire KBS Family Library of content- enjoy weekly bonuses and AD FREE episodes! 📣 Interested in partnering with us? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about advertising here.⁠⁠⁠
