Daniel 6- & Psalm 46:1

*Deep Dive on Daniel: For those interested in exploring Daniel's story further, refer to our 6-part series, episodes #237-244.

In today's episode we discuss:

Statistics are showing an increase of worry and anxiety in children.  This will be a little different from our usual episode but the Bible has a lot to say about this so we thought we should address it.  We will differentiate between fear, worry, and and anxiety and give each emotion their own episode. 

Today we discuss fear:

1. Are there good fears? ie; fear of fire, or fear of the Lord
2. Can fear lie to us?
3. Why does God tell us not to be afraid? What promise does he give with it

**If you would like to hear all of David and Goliath that episode is :#112 "There's no one like you." #307 "What if David had a Bad Attitude" is a shortened version with a different application.

Resources we've used for this: "The Worry free Parent" & "Raising Worry Free Girls" by Sissy Goff.

Kids Bible Stories Podcast: Episode - "Jesus: The True Light"

In today's episode, we explore the powerful message of Jesus as the ultimate beacon in our lives, shining brighter and truer than any other source. We learned that Jesus describes Himself as "the light of the world," offering us guidance, peace, love, forgiveness, and direction unlike any other. Unlike deceptive lights in the world, like the angler fish's lure, which may seem appealing but lead to harm, Jesus' light is always genuine and life-giving.

We also delved into how God's word acts as a lamp for our feet and a light on our path, guiding us through life's journey. This divine light isn't found in the shows we watch, the advice of friends, or the allure of commercials enticing us to desire material things. It's in the Bible, God's word, which always leads us toward what's truly good.

We discussed the importance of discerning between the misleading "lights" of the world—like the temptations of consumerism or messages that encourage disrespect—and the one true light, Jesus, who desires what's best for us. Remember, the next time you're faced with a decision or a direction, ask yourself: does this align with the light that Jesus offers?

Key Takeaways:

• Jesus is the true light that guides us with love and truth.
• God's word is our ultimate source of guidance, not the fleeting attractions of the world.
• Always test what guides you by comparing it to the teachings of the Bible.
