What does Passover have to do with Easter?

In this episode, Rachel sits down with children’s author Rene Annette Wallace to talk about helping kids understand the beautiful connection between the biblical celebration of Passover and the story of Jesus.

Rene’s book, Zoe Discovers Passover at Easter, invites children into the story through curiosity, discovery, and family conversation. Together we explore why teaching the Jewish roots of our faith helps children see Scripture as one unified story of redemption.

You’ll also hear how families can begin celebrating Passover in simple, meaningful ways that point children to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

Rene’s book is also featured in this year’s Links to Messiah Passover Family Boxes, designed to help families experience Scripture together through reading, activities, and hands-on learning.

If you’ve ever wondered how to make Passover meaningful for your kids, this conversation will inspire you.

In this episode, Rachel Kushner retells the story of Esther through the lens of covenant and promise.

The book of Esther never mentions the name of God, yet His faithfulness is woven through every chapter. When Haman plots to destroy the Jewish people in Persia, it looks like the end of the story. But behind palace doors and sleepless nights, God is quietly preserving His covenant promise to Abraham.

This episode also introduces the family activity “Hidden but Not Absent,” where children search for the Hebrew name Elohim as a reminder that even when God’s name is not written, He is still sovereign and working.

If you are longing to build family legacy around the table and help your children understand that God keeps His promises, this episode will encourage you deeply.

In this episode, Rachel Kushner reflects on how David’s faith was formed in quiet places, how he trusted God in both victory and failure, and why Scripture calls him a man after God’s own heart. David’s story reminds us that faith is not about perfection. It is about returning to God again and again.

Rachel also shares tenderly about her own son, David, and how the meaning of his name has shaped her understanding of love, grief, and identity. This episode includes a gentle content note regarding the loss of an adult child.

David’s life ultimately points us to Jesus, the Beloved Son. Identity comes before accomplishment. Love comes before victory.

As you gather around your table this week, may the word beloved echo in your home and settle gently in your own heart.

IIn this episode, we continue our new series on the Heroes of the Faith with a woman whose name tells us so much about her story. Deborah, or Devorah in Hebrew, means bee. Small, focused, hardworking, and protective, a bee is a perfect picture of how God used Deborah to lead His people with courage and wisdom.

Listen in as Rachel Kushner retells the story of Judges chapters 4 and 5 in a way kids and parents can enjoy side by side. We explore the Jewish roots of Deborah’s story, from her role as a judge and prophetess to the powerful song she sang to celebrate and remember what God had done. Deborah’s story reminds us that courage begins with listening to God and trusting Him enough to go when He says, “Go.”

This episode invites families to slow down, gather, and remember that God often works through unexpected people. Just as God raised up Deborah to bring peace to Israel, He sent Jesus to bring lasting peace to the world. The same faithful God is still at work in our families today.

We’re kicking off a brand-new series on the podcast called Heroes of the Faith. This month, we’re learning about real people in the Bible who trusted God even when waiting was hard, faith felt messy, and the promise seemed impossible.

In this first episode, we begin with Sarah, a woman who waited about 25 years for God’s promise to come true. Sarah’s story reminds us that faith does not mean never doubting. It means staying in the story and continuing to trust God with the long journey. We explore how God turned Sarah’s laughter of doubt into laughter of joy and how her son Isaac’s name tells that story forever.

What does it mean to trust God when you have to wait?

In this episode, we gather around the Shabbat table to talk about Abraham and the promises God made to him. We explore what it looks like to trust God without knowing all the details, why waiting is often part of faith, and how God’s promise to Abraham connects directly to Jesus.

This episode is encouraged for kids, but it is meaningful for parents too. Together, we slow down, reflect, and remember that the Bible is one connected promise story, and God always keeps His promises.

You can listen without being a member, but your experience will be richer with this week’s Shabbat Club packet, which includes a devotional and engaging worksheets for your family to use together.

Rachel Kushner introduces the theme God is a Promise Keeper, beginning with the biblical story of Noah and the Ark. Families are invited into the idea of covenant, explained in kid-friendly language as a special promise God makes and always keeps. Through Noah’s obedience, the waiting on the ark, and the sign of the rainbow, listeners are reminded of God’s faithfulness and care for His people.

This episode is designed to be meaningful for all listeners, whether or not they are members of Shabbat Club. Families who have the Shabbat Club worksheets can follow along for a more hands-on experience, but everyone is welcome to listen, imagine, and learn together.

The episode sets the foundation for an ongoing covenant journey through Scripture, helping families see the Bible not as random stories, but as one connected promise story that ultimately points to Jesus. The episode closes by inviting listeners to return next week as the story continues with God’s promise to Abraham.
