COVENANT KIDS S2 EP24: David and Goliath: Five Stones, Spiritual Armor, and Being Brave with Jesus (June 15-21)

Henry (age 6) joins the podcast, shares a joke, and talks about feeling the Spirit when reading scriptures. The episode retells the story of David and Goliath, emphasizing that David defeated the giant by trusting God, showing courage, using experience from protecting sheep, being faithful, and relying on God’s promise—symbolized by five smooth stones. It teaches that one “stone” of connection to Jesus Christ can give strength and power, and compares Goliath’s uncovered forehead to the ways Satan targets spiritual vulnerabilities with fear, worry, lies, pride, anger, discouragement, temptation, and peer pressure. The host explains the “armor of God” (helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith, belt of truth, sword of the Spirit) and encourages practicing listening to the Holy Ghost, facing personal “giants,” praying, and preparing for baptism. 00:00 Covenant Kids Know 00:19 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:37 Joke Time 02:07 Scriptures and David Setup 03:33 Goliath Challenge 07:01 Five Stones of Faith 09:10 David Defeats Goliath 11:24 Satan Stones and Armor 13:48 Sword Battle Brain Break 14:42 Practice and Face Giants 18:57 Testimony and Prayer Stories 20:46 Baptism Prep and Church 23:08 Closing Testimony and Farewell

COVENANT KIDS S2 EP23: Jesus looks on our heart (June 8-14) 1 Samuel 8-16

In this episode, six-year-old Avaya joins the podcast to talk about missing siblings on missions, share a joke, and express her love for reading the scriptures and how they make her feel happy. Together they discuss 1 Samuel as Israel asks for a human king instead of trusting God, Samuel’s warning about what earthly kings can do, and how Jesus Christ is the true King who helps us through daily battles as we pray, read scriptures, and keep covenants. They follow Saul’s search for lost donkeys and how God used an ordinary task for a bigger purpose, then explore how David was chosen because God looks on the heart, not outward appearance, illustrated by a “fancy” box with garbage and a plain box with treasures. Avaya shares simple miracles from prayer, encourages kindness and including others, and bears testimony of Jesus Christ’s love and sacrifice.

COVENANT KIDS S2 EP22: Naomi, Ruth & Hannah: Keeping Promises, Working Hard, & Praying with Faith (June 1-7)

Lisa and six-year-old guest Michael explore the Bible stories of Naomi and Ruth (Ruth) and Hannah and Samuel (1 Samuel), focusing on loving family, loyalty, hard work, and faith-filled prayer. They discuss Ruth choosing to stay with Naomi, gleaning to provide food, and how Boaz helped her, leading to Ruth becoming part of the family line of King David and Jesus Christ. They also share Hannah’s sincere, quiet prayer for a child, her promise to dedicate Samuel to the Lord, and Samuel learning to recognize God’s voice. Through jokes, a brain break, listening challenges, and a review game, listeners are invited to help someone lonely, work without complaining, pray sincerely, listen for the Holy Ghost, keep promises, and trust Heavenly Father.

COVENANT KIDS S2 EP 21: Deborah, Gideon & Samson: God Helps Ordinary People Do Extraordinary Things (May 25-31)

Host Lisa talks with Carson about trusting Jesus Christ, praying for help with anxiety and math tests, and finding the scriptures true and engaging. Together they explore Judges in the Old Testament and the repeating cycle of Israel forgetting God, facing trouble, praying, and being rescued. They discuss Deborah’s faithful leadership against Sisera’s 900 iron chariots, Gideon’s victory with only 300 soldiers using trumpets and lamps to show God’s power, and Samson’s God-given strength tied to keeping promises, including the hope of returning to God after mistakes. The episode emphasizes covenants as strength for life, Jesus as the greatest Deliverer from sin, fear, loneliness, sadness, and death, and challenges listeners to do one brave thing this week, such as reading scriptures daily.

COVENANT KIDS S2 EP20: Be Strong and Courageous- Joshua, Jericho and Trusting God (May 18-24) Joshua 1-24

Spencer, an eight-year-old who loves sports and Harry Potter, talks about how scriptures help him know Jesus Christ lives and shares a favorite story about Alma and Amulek. Together they study Joshua leading Israel after Moses, focusing on the Lord’s command to “be strong and courageous.” They discuss crossing the Jordan River when the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the water and the river stopped, connecting it to baptism and the promises we make. They cover Jericho, the spies, Rahab protecting them with a red rope, and God’s unusual plan to march, blow horns, and shout until the walls fell. Spencer shares a miracle of fasting and prayer for his sick brother and explains choosing to serve the Lord through prayer, fasting, sacraments, and commandments.
