Join here: GIGI KIDS STORY CLUB _________________________________________________________________________ Today's story you can find in the Bible and it's about the prophet Jeremiah. You can find his story in Jeremiah 38. Jeremiah's heart pounded in his chest. He had just delivered God's message to the people, warning them to turn back to the Lord or face destruction.  But the people didn't want to hear it. The rulers of the city, feeling threatened by his words, decided they had heard enough of Jeremiah's warnings. "We can't let him keep speaking like this," one of the officials said angrily. “He needs to be silenced!"  So they captured him – they wanted him gone! The officials grabbed him roughly and they dragged him toward an old, dark pit in the courtyard, used long ago to store water but now filled with only mud at the bottom. The pit loomed before him, deep and dark, and Jeremiah could feel fear rising inside him.  What happens next? Tune in to find out. _________________________________________________________________________________ DON'T FORGET THAT OUR SUBSCRIPTION IS OPEN THIS MONTH!

Poppy and Esther are on an amazing train ride on their way to an adventure - join them as Esther tells the story of a boy who steals a toy train! Will he get caught? Jack took a deep breath. It was now or never. He grabbed his backpack, ran into Leo's room, and stuffed the train and the tracks into his backpack as quick as he could. Struggling with his now very heavy backpack, Jack closed Leo's door again and hustled down the steps. Leo was already buckled into the car and Dad was waiting outside to strap Jack in. Taking Jack's backpack, Dad looked surprise. “Whoa! What are you taking to school today, buddy? Rocks?” he joked. Jack laughed, but it sounded forced, even to him. The whole time he was thinking, Please don't open the backpack, please don't open the backpack.... What happens next?

John 14:15-31 Early MorningSeries: The Story of God | 2025 Speaker: Rev. James WagnerEarly Morning ServiceDate: 9th February 2025Passage: John 14:15-31

Welcome to a new year of stories - we are so excited to share these with you. Today's story is based on a true story and you need to listen right to the end to find out what happens. As they approached the dreaded area, the father's voice broke the tension.  "Now we say Psalm 91 so God can protect us," he said, his eyes scanning the dark path ahead. Without hesitation, each child silently recited the psalm in their hearts, just as their parents had taught them. The night seemed to grow darker as they stepped deeper into the thick, shadowy trees and overgrown bushes. Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the loud rattling of metal. Out of nowhere, an old police car, rusted and creaky, came zooming up behind them, its headlights flickering as it approached.  The family watched in shock as the car sped past them, only to screech to a stop near a large, twisted tree just ahead—the very tree they were about to walk under. But what happens next? Get ready to listen to this true story! _____________________________________________________________________________________ Story by: Esther Willow & the runaway horse audiobook Website: https://www.gigistorylibrary.com.au/ Read story on the blog SHOP OUR BOOKS   Special effect editing: James Wagner  music credit: http://www.purple-planet.com/  Email us: stories4gigi@gmail.com Write to us: GIGI KIDS STORIES PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt Queensland Australia 4122

Abraham said, “Here I am, Lord.” “Take your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Build an altar there and offer Isaac on it as a burnt sacrifice to Me.” Abraham could not believe his ears. Abraham had waited many years for this promised child. He did not understand why God now wanted him to sacrifice his precious son. But Abraham had learnt to obey God's commandments, and so he got out of bed and walked over to where Isaac lay asleep. Abraham wept as he looked at his son. They would not have very much time left to spend together. Abraham dried his tears as best he could, then shook Isaac. Isaac opened his eyes sleepily.

Have you ever felt sad because your skin is a different colour from your friends? The truth was, Noah would LOVE to wear sunscreen. Every morning when he woke up, he would stand at the bathroom mirror searching for a freckle, any sized freckle, so he could look like Shaun. Noah hated his dark skin. He hated being the only kid on his street with dark skin. He just wanted to be like the other kids. After he and Shaun had played some more, Noah slowly made his way back to his house. His mum looked up from the stove as he dragged himself inside. “Are you excited for the first day of school tomorrow?” she asked him. “No,” sighed Noah, dropping down onto a stool. “Mum, why doesn't anybody else at school look like me?” “There are lots of kids at school with your skin colour, Noah, and lots of other skin colours, too,” said Mum. “None in my class,” said Noah, sadly. “I'm the only one with such dark skin. I don't like it, Mum. I wish my skin was lighter. I wish I had skin like Shaun's!” Do you want to know what happens next? You can find out by listening to the whole story - it's a great one!

Today's story is about David Livingstone - a missionary and explorer who travelled to Africa to tell others about Jesus. The life of David Livingstone begins in the town of Blantyre, Scotland. He was born to devoted Christian parents, and at a very young age David developed a love for the outdoors and exploring. One day David climbed to a very high point of the ruins of an old castle, which was higher than any other boy had ever reached, and he decided to carve his name there. Before David was ten years old, he had memorised the whole of Psalm 119, which is the longest book in the Bible, and he recited it with only five mistakes! David was not brighter than other boys around his age, he was just more determined to learn new things than they were. When he was ten years old, he found work in the cotton mills. There in the factory, David would put his books on the spinning jenny machine, which was an old-fashioned machine people used to help them make cotton for clothes. There he could still be reading and learning even when he was working in the cotton factory. At the age of twenty, David gave his heart to Jesus and became a Christian. One day, a man called Doctor Carey told the people in the churches about missionary work, and David became excited at that idea. His eagerness grew as there was more talk of mission jobs, and eventually he declared,     “I want to show how much I love Jesus by devoting my life to His service and becoming a missionary.” Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is found in your Bibles - you can read it in Luke 17:11-19 - Jesus heals 10 lepers. It all started with ten men who were very sick. They had leprosy—a sickness where they had red lumps and bumps on their body. The worst part about leprosy was nobody could touch you, or else they'd get sick, too! So the ten men with leprosy weren't allowed to live inside their village. They stayed outside, and they must have been pretty sad.  But one day, Jesus was walking to Jerusalem when he came across the village where the lepers lived. One of the lepers sprang to his feet when he saw Jesus coming toward them in the distance.  “Hey!” he called out to his fellow leper friends. “Look! Is that Jesus?”  “It is!” said another leper. “Let's call out to him!”  The lepers were very excited to see Jesus, because they had heard that Jesus healed people. Could Jesus heal them, too?  “Jesus!” they called out. “Jesus!” As Jesus came closer, He could see the men with their lumps and bumps. He could see that they were very sick, and His heart filled with care for the lepers. But how many were there? Jesus began to count… one, two, three…eight, nine… ten! Ten lepers! And they were coming closer to him now. The ten lepers suddenly stopped, afraid they were getting too close to Jesus. They didn't want to make him sick, after all! But they wanted to get better. They wanted to be healed. As they looked at each other, one of them raised his voice and called out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is about a little girl called Elodie who finds out an amazing secret... Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a little girl and her name was Elodie. She lived in a simple village with her father, mother, and baby brother. Elodie's favourite thing to do was read books, pick flowers in the butterfly meadow, and bake yummy treats with her best friend, Annie.  One day, Elodie and Annie were in the kitchen when her father burst through the wooden door. “Elodie!” he puffed, out of breath. “Where's your mother?” Elodie stared at her father in surprise. He was holding a piece of parchment paper tightly in his hand.  “She's gone to the market,” Elodie told her father.  Father spun around and rushed back out the door. “What was that all about?” asked Annie.  "I have no idea,” Elodie answered her friend. “I guess I'll find out later.” That evening, the family was eating dinner when Father stood up.   “I have something to share,” he said, smiling at Elodie and at Mother, who was feeding the baby in the rocking chair.  Elodie sat up straighter and listened carefully. She didn't want to miss what Father said! Father held up the parchment paper he'd come home with earlier.  “This piece of paper says something very special,” began Father. “But I need to explain something first. Elodie, you are a princess.”  Elodie was stunned. She replayed the words in her mind.  “A princess? Me? How is that possible?” she asked Father...... Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is found in the book of Genesis 11:1-9. All about the greatest tower in the world back in bible times: The tower of Babel. Jambo! Bonjour! Konnichiwa! We're saying hello in different languages.   What language do you speak? If you're listening to this story, you are hearing it in English. Some of you can speak other languages, like Mandarin, or Spanish, or maybe even Arabic!  Well, this story is about a group of people who could all speak only one language—but it wasn't a good thing! Let's find out why…  After the big flood that covered the whole earth, God told everyone on board to spread out all over the world. The animals got off the ark and went to find new homes, in the mountains, the lakes, the forests and the deserts. Noah and his family got off the ark too, and as the years went by, the family grew and grew until there were lots of people living on the earth once again.  But they didn't adventure across the earth. They all stayed together. This wasn't what God had told them to do.  One day, this big group of people decided to find a new home. They moved all their things into a big desert area, and made lots of bricks to use for homes.  But then, someone had an idea.  “Hey, everyone!” said a person. “Why don't we build a city with a tower?”  The people liked this.....   To listen to the whole story, find a comfortable chair or cosy corner and enjoy!

Today's story is very special as it is written by 7 year old Zaira Lace. This story is about Little M the lion and how he learns that it's important to listen to your parents. Once upon a time there was a cute lion cub called Little M.  He was mischievous and cheeky but lots of fun. His name was special because he was named after his dad, Mighty, the most respected lion in the waterhole. Mighty was the king. Little looked up to his dad, but it was his mum, Inkabel, that Little M adored because she took care of him and played with him every day. Little M lived in a cozy cave near a beautiful waterhole called ‘Shimmering Waters'.  This waterhole was crystal clear and its water tasted ever so slightly of salt.  It was surrounded by tangled trees and the edge was dotted with yellow daisies, but Little M's favourite part was the sparkling waterfall. It was this very waterfall that would get Little M into very BIG trouble. One particular morning Little M was finishing his breakfast when he heard a familiar sound outside the cave.  He ran out excitedly barely hearing his mum and dad plead for him to have fun but be careful.   The sun was shining, the waterfall shimmering and there was his best friend Ginger growling for him to come play with her....

Today's story is about Peter the disciple of Jesus - when an Angel miraculously breaks him free from prison. Peter's heart was pounding fast, faster than it ever had before. He didn't dare sit down, in case a rat crawled over his lap again. At least, he thought it had been a rat. It was pitch black in the prison cell, and he really couldn't tell what creatures were in here. Peter inched closer to the bars of the cell door, being careful not to rattle the chains around his ankles too much. The last thing he wanted was for the mean prison guards to hear him. Reaching the cell door, he wrapped his hands around the cold metal bars. How had this happened? Peter thought about the terrible week he'd had. King Herod hated the church that Peter and his friends belonged to. King Herod hated that they talked about Jesus, and how they believed Jesus was the one true King. Peter hadn't been afraid of evil King Herod. He knew that Jesus was stronger than any king on earth. But now King Herod had arrested Peter and thrown him into jail. Not only that, but he had sent so many soldiers to guard the prison. There was no way Peter could escape, and he knew it was only a matter of time before King Herod decided to do something even more evil....   To listen to the whole story find a comfortable chair or cosy corner and enjoy!

Today's story is about a little boy called Lucas who gets invited to a birthday party that none of his friends wanted to go to.  Here is a sneak peek Lining up outside his classroom, Lucas was joined by some of his friends.  “Hey, did you get an invitation to Miguel's party?” he asked his friend Casey. “Of course. The whole class got one,” said Casey. “But I'm not going!” “What? Why not?” asked Lucas. “Miguel's weird,” said Casey.  “But we haven't even really talked to him!” said Lucas.  “Well, I'm not going.” Casey decided firmly.  “Neither am I,” said Alice, who had been listening from her place in the line. “No one really talks to Miguel. I don't know why he invited us.”  Lucas looked over at Miguel, who was standing by himself at the end of the line... Find a comfortable chair or a cosy corner and listen to the story.....

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50.  Here is a sneak peek... The baker's glared at Joseph. How dare he give me this interpretation! I don't believe it one bit; he thought. But when he remembered the interpretations were from God and not Joseph, he realised he couldn't be angry. He sighed heavily and soon his angry eyes changed and filled with tears. We don't know for sure, but we can imagine Joseph putting his arm around the baker to comfort him in his last days on this earth, and perhaps he shared the good news of salvation with him, so that he could decide to follow God before he died. However it happened, we know Joseph was kind and caring and did all he could to uplift the hearts of others around him.  Sure enough, three days later, the baker was taken out to be executed, and the butler was returned to Pharaoh's palace. … Find a comfortable chair or a cosy corner and listen to the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours, part 4.   Tune in to listen to the whole story.

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50.  Here is a sneak peek... With his hands tied together with rope and his bare feet walking across the hot sand of the desert, he gave his life to God and prayed that the Lord would be with him as he entered the strange land. Upon arriving in Egypt, they sold Joseph as a slave to Potiphar, who was the captain of the pharaoh's guards. All around him were people who lived corrupt lives; yet Joseph determined in his heart to do good for his earthly master and to work to the best of his abilities. Though the Egyptians worshipped false gods, Joseph was not afraid to show that he worshipped the God of heaven. Potiphar saw Joseph was diligent in all that he did, and one day, he asked, “Joseph, what is the secret to your success? I see you working hard all day, and I cannot understand what makes you work so well…” Find a comfortable chair or a cosy corner and listen to the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours, part 3.   Tune in to listen to the whole story.

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50.  Here is a sneak peek... He finally landed sharply on his back at the bottom of the well. The impact stole his breath, and it left him winded and in pain. But there was no one there to save him. He was all alone. It took him a few moments to regather his thoughts. When he realised the sad reality of his situation, fear and despair crept into his heart, yet with his voice he cried out to God, who had always been his safe place. “Lord, please save me. I am so scared and alone and I am afraid I will never get out of this hole. But I know You are with me no matter where I am, and so long as I have You watching over me, I will be safe….” Find a comfortable chair or a cosy corner and listen to the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours, part 2.   Tune in to listen to the whole story.

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50.  Here is a sneak peek... Meanwhile, Joseph had almost reached the spot where his brothers sat talking, completely unaware of their murderous scheming. He smiled as he drew closer, waving to them, but suddenly shrank back in fear as he saw his brothers slowly coming towards him with menacing looks in their eyes. As he began to turn and run, they easily chased him down and grabbed his beautiful coat, tearing the precious garment from his back. Their grimy fingernails dug painfully into his skin as they seized his arms and dragged him to an empty well close by.  “Brothers, what are you doing?” Joseph screeched in surprise at the turn of events. “Let me go!” But his cries for help were unheeded as he was picked up and hurled into the dark well. It happened so fast that he hardly knew what was happening until he felt himself falling, falling, falling … Find a comfortable chair or a cosy corner and listen to the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours, part 1.   Tune in to listen to the whole story.

"When they finally reached the place called ‘Gihon', Nathan the prophet helped Solomon get down from the donkey. All the people and Solomon's friends crowded around him and Zadok the priest brought out a horn of oil. Solomon knelt down on his knees. Zadok poured the oil onto Solomon's head and said, “Solomon, God has made you the new king of Israel.” A trumpet sounded, and all the people standing by played their instruments and sang praises to God. “God save king Solomon!” Tune in to listen to the whole story.

Naomi wandered back to the door that led to the garden and sat on one of the wooden benches Grandpa had made. Her gumboots made a noise on the tiles as she scraped them back and forth, back and forth. Then she heard a noise. Grandma! She thought. It was Grandma. But to Naomi's disappointment, Grandma wasn't heading her way. She was walking to the front door. As Grandma opened it, Naomi could see one of the next-door neighbours standing on the front step.  “Victor! How are you?” Naomi heard Grandma ask the neighbour. Oh, that's just great, Naomi thought angrily. This is going to take forever! Naomi looked out the window at the flowers. She knew better than to go outside without her grandparents, but all she wanted to do was pick her flowers! Surely Grandma and Grandpa could talk to the neighbour some other time. After all, he lived right next door, and Naomi was only visiting for the day. Tune in to listen to the whole story.

“Someone must go and destroy the followers of Jesus in Damascus,” one of the Jewish leaders said one day. “I will go,” Saul said boldly. “I will go and destroy them all.” Saul and a group of men got onto their horses and began the long journey to Damascus. Once they had found Jesus' followers, Saul would take them to Jerusalem and punish them there. Saul and his men rode for a long time. The road to Damascus was through the desert, and they soon got tired of seeing the dry wasteland, where there was nothing green in sight. But as they got closer to the town, they began to pass beautiful grassy fields with lots of bright flowers. Cool, blue streams flowed from the mountains in the distance. “Look!” one of Saul's men said. “This is much better than the desert.” All of a sudden, a very bright light shone down from heaven. It was so bright that Saul could no longer see where he was going! Saul fell off his horse and hit the ground with a thud. He was very sore from the fall, and he was very afraid.

In the very beginning, way, way back in time, before any people or animals or plants existed, the whole earth was empty and dark. Everything was still. But God saw our little planet. He had made a plan at the beginning of time to create this world, and now it was time for Him to begin His work. He spoke with a loud voice and said, “Let there be light”. Brightness suddenly filled the emptiness. God saw that the light was good, so He separated the darkness from the light He had created. He said, “The darkness will be called ‘night', and the light will be called ‘day.'” Then there was evening and morning, and that was the first day of creation. God then said, “Let the sky and the waters be separated.” As soon as He said it, there was a great rushing sound. The water separated and the sky was formed. Fluffy, white clouds appeared in the air. The water began to ripple and waves formed on the ocean. And there was evening and morning, the second day of creation.... Tune in to listen to the whole story.

"Bethany saw everyone's heads turn to look behind them, and she tried to peek past the people to see what was going on. As she looked, she saw the flash of the Egyptian army's armour reflecting in the sun's bright rays. Bethany remembered how those soldiers had whipped and beaten her parents when they lived in Egypt. Fear rose up inside her. “Moses, is this what you had in mind?” a man's voice yelled from somewhere in the crowd. “Did you really lead us out here into the desert to die?” There was a chorus of angry shouts, and Bethany shuddered. Bethany was scared, but she was upset that the man was angry at Moses, because she liked Moses. She remembered how he was always kind to her whenever he came to visit her family back in Egypt. “What are we going to do?” Bethany asked her father. Father knelt down to Bethany's height and put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eye. “Now Bethany, even though everyone else is blaming Moses for what is happening, we are going to pray. Because God knows what's happening and He will help us.” Mother knelt down as well, and they all took each other's hands and closed their eyes. “Dear Lord, we know that you are still with us. Please help us now, and deliver us from these Egyptians we pray, amen.” “Amen,” Bethany and Mother echoed. They stood up and then heard Moses speaking. Everyone became silent as they listened...."

"After breakfast, Thomas watched sulkily as his brother wheeled his bike out of the garage next to Mikey's. “You can come next time, okay?” Said Josh. Thomas nodded and watched as they rode down the hill, waving goodbye. ‘I can't wait till I'm bigger' Thomas thought to himself. Just then he heard a noise behind him. It was Dad sliding under the car. “Whatcha doing Dad?” Thomas asked. “Got to change the oil” Dad replied. “It's well overdue.” “Thomas lay down on his belly to have a look. His Dad had a spanner in one hand and seemed to be trying to loosen something with great effort. “This…thing….is so….TIGHT!” Dad grunted. “I can help!” Thomas said. “Aw thanks bud” said Dad “but your muscles are a bit too small for this job.

The New York Times national baseball writer James Wagner joins the Best Podcast in Baseball to discuss what happens when the writer tasked with covering the biggest story in baseball has the biggest story in baseball in his backyard. The New York Yankees and New York Mets have the best records in baseball -- and the Yankees are on a historic pace -- so can they keep that up, and have they shifted the balance of power in the majors away from Houston and Los Angeles? Wagner talks with St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold about the art of covering history, developing a nose for a good story (especially the most aromatic of stories), and what the view of the Cardinals is from the current center of the baseball universe. Are the Cardinals part of the industry elite, or have they been nudged to the periphery? The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
