Money Storybook Bible Podcast: Teaching kids about money through Bible storiesEp24: Purple snail robes (Acts 16)Lydia was a rich businesswoman who made beautiful purple robes, but when she heard about Jesus, she decided to follow Him and use her home and business to help others. She didn’t need to leave everything—she learned she could serve God right where she was.Money lesson for kids: You don’t have to give up everything to honor God—just be generous and kind with what you already have, because it all belongs to Him.
2025-08-0809 minMoney Storybook Bible Podcast: Teaching kids about money through Bible storiesEp23: 75 pounds of spices (John 19)Joseph gave Jesus his new tomb, and Nicodemus brought 75 pounds of spices—a gift great than any previous king. Even little Abigail gave her favorite necklace, showing that true love gives its best.Money lesson for kids: When we use what we have—big or small—to honor Jesus or help others, it’s never a waste; it becomes a gift that matters forever.

But when he saw how Jesus forgave everyone, even while dying, Troy gave up the tunic and realized that knowing Jesus was worth more than any prize.Money lesson for kids: Winning something is nice, but giving it away to show love is even better—and that’s how we find true treasure.

Even though others called it a waste, Jesus said it was a beautiful gift because it came from her heart.Money lesson for kids: When we give our most valuable things to honor Jesus or help others, it may look like a loss, but to God, it’s a gift worth more than money.
2025-07-1810 minMoney Storybook Bible Podcast: Teaching kids about money through Bible storiesEp20: Judas and the money bag (John 12)Judas was given the job of taking care of Jesus’ money bag, but he forgot it belonged to Jesus and started using the money for himself. He stopped sharing and became greedy, and in the end, his selfish choices left him feeling empty and sad—like holding rotten figs.Money lesson for kids: When we remember that all our stuff really belongs to God, we learn to share and manage it with love instead of acting like everything is just for us.

But Jesus called Saul a fool because he only cared about storing stuff on earth instead of using what he had to love and help others.Money lesson for kids: It’s foolish to store up money and things just for yourself—real treasure comes from using what you have to love others and make a difference that lasts forever.

The wise girls were ready for surprises, and that made all the difference.Money lesson for kids: Not spending all of your money and saving a little extra money—called “margin”—helps you stay ready when life doesn’t go as planned, just like bringing extra oil helped the wise girls be ready for the party.

When His disciples return with food, Jesus explains that doing God’s work brings deeper satisfaction than any meal, teaching them to focus on spiritual needs first.Money lesson for kids:Don’t focus only on money and food—remember to feed your soul first with God’s love, because it’s free and fills you in a way money n

Thankfully, God had already made a way in His law for the poor—and even more wonderfully, Jesus Himself would one day be the true Lamb who paid for everything.Money lesson for kids:The best things—like God’s love—can’t be bought with money, so we should trust Him and never try to take advantage of others just to get more.
