Do you know that you have the ability to tell you brain what to think? Like you’re the boss of your brain. And you’re in charge of what it thinks. If it starts thinking something that you don’t like you can make it stop. Or if you start thinking about things you love and make you happy, you can keep thinking about those things. Well, when we’re talking about a presidential election, we can get really focused on what the news is saying about the election or the people running for pr...

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Respect. I bet you already know a lot about respect - you know, realizing that someone is in charge and therefore needs to be listened to and obeyed or maybe it’s just being polite to others and treating them well. Respect for authority is a big part of your life whether you realize it or not…..you respect your parents and grandparents, your teachers, your coaches and so many other adults in your life. And this isn’t just because it’s fun to do. It’s because that’s w...

When we talk about anything and, well, everything in life, we have to remember God’s sovereignty. And this is especially true when we’re talking about a political election. Most people think that whoever gets the most votes will win and that’s true, but there’s more to the story than just number of votes. When we say that God is sovereign that means He is completely involved in all things and He has complete control and rule over all things. He’s super involved and that’s great reassurin...

Let’s take a vote! We are going to vote with the people you’re listening with today about whether or not we like eating pizza or hamburgers most of all. Like if you had to choose 1 food to eat for the rest of your life, would it be pizza or hamburgers? Alright, raise your hand if you like pizza the most. The nice crust with gooey cheese baked to perfection with whatever toppings you want on it. Delicious! Okay, count how many have their hands up. Got it? Now put your hands down. Now, raise yo...

Remember how “Father Abraham had many sons and many sons had father Abraham..”? Well, that family started in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. So, in Exodus, the second book of the Bible, we see that Abraham’s many sons had turned into lots and lots of families that turned into a whole entire nation! And that nation or big group of people is called Israel. The people of Israel were called the Israelites and they found themselves in a bad spot. They were slaves in Egypt, which meant they w...

John 10:28 talks about someone snatching something out of another person’s hands. Now, I’m just curious if you’ve ever snatched someone from someone before? Maybe your sibling had a toy that you wanted and you just grabbed it. How well did that go? It never goes well in our house when that happens. And let me guess, you hate it when someone else snatches something out of your hands, right? No one likes having something taken from them when it was theirs to begin with. And as parents we teach...

Our family loves to play Monopoly, especially my 9 year old. And if you’ve ever played this game you know that there are times where you have to go to a spot on the gameboard that is the jail. And when you’re in jail, in the game, you lose your turn until you’re free from jail. In order to get out of jail, you need to draw a card that says “Get Out of Jail Free.” This is the best card because it gets you back in the game and moving along with the other players.   This game of monopoly shows...

Episode 1: Christmas Story Jesus being born is a special story for everyone. For me and for you! The story of Jesus being born, the life he lived, and then eventually the death that he died on the cross was all for you. He came to this world for you! This was such great news for every single person that even a big group of angels shows up praising God saying “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests” in Luke 2:14. I pray that when you hear the...

John 5:17 says, “Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.”   Did you know that God never takes a day off? He doesn’t stop working on the weekends or certain days. He is always with us every minute of every day. He never has a day where He gets sick and has to cancel plans. Did you know that God never stops working?   Psalm 121:4b says that the Lord will neither slumber or sleep. He never gets too tired and has to take a nap or go to...

Raise your hand if you’ve signed up for a sport before? Or your parents signed you up? I bet we have some baseball players and some soccer players and some football players maybe even some ballerinas or cheerleaders or softball players!   Well, tell me.

No!   You sign up so you can go to the practices and play in the games...

Do you ever need help with something? I mean, is there ever something that you can’t do on your own and you need someone to help you do it? Let’s talk about some examples.

Have you ever seen one of those big inflatable balls that people can get inside and fit their whole body in? It’s almost like a giant hamster ball, but for humans? Apparently, it’s called a zorb. You can look it up! https://www.zorbs.us/ Well, my friends, this is sometimes how I visualize God’s protection of His children.   Hah! That might sound sorta strange, and I should start by saying there is no Bible verse that talks about giant human hamster balls, but scripture is full of stories...

Miss Patty Cake “Little Me” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI_pDN-edw8   I’ve been walking with Jesus for 30 years now and its crazy that I’ve just recently realized that the longer I know Him, the more I understand how much I don’t know and don’t understand about Him. I mean, most people, the more you spend time with them, the more you know them, right?! That’s true with Jesus too in some ways. The more time I spend reading the Bible which teaches me about Him, the more I know Him....

Thank you! But, I thought it might be time to reintroduce myself again for some of our new Nuggetters! So, Hey! I’m Laura Young. And I’m the most normal mom of two kids you’ll ever meet. Hah! What I mean by that is that I’m not a fancy podcaster with a big studio and slick production skills. Nope!...
