ATL: I Know What's Right - S2 E23 09.06.2026 5Min.

Truth isn’t always popular. Sometimes it’s the thing that makes the whole room go quiet.A rumor about Mrs. Calder spreads through school like wildfire. Someone posted something online, and now everyone is repeating it without checking. Tanner doesn’t hesitate — he shuts it down in the hallway. Not because he likes Mrs. Calder, but because the truth matters more than traffic.Ava watches. She’s been watching all semester.After school, Tanner connects the dots: truth is the belt of the armor — the piece that holds everything else up. Without it, everything falls apart.And then he does something new. He carves his first star. It says “TRUTH.” He plans to leave it on Mrs. Calder’s desk before school the next morning.The trail isn’t just something they follow anymore. It’s something they’re building.Key Scripture: John 8:32 (KJV)“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”Family Discussion• When is a time you had to speak the truth even though it wasn’t popular?• Why is truth called the ‘belt’ of the armor? What happens when truth is missing?• Have you ever stood up for someone — even someone you didn’t particularly like?Big IdeaTruth isn’t just knowing what’s right — it’s saying it when everyone else is saying something wrong.

ARK: Truth Holds It Together - S2 E26 08.06.2026 29Min.

How do you know what's really true?In this week's Armor of God adventure, we discover why the Belt of Truth is the first piece of armor God tells us to put on. From hilarious mistakes about Jesus eating pizza in the wilderness to Benny wearing way too many belts, everyone learns the same important lesson:Truth matters.Join Ben Breezy as he tracks "deception clouds" moving into the wilderness. Laugh along with Rick Roaster as he reports on Satan's failed attempts to tempt Jesus. And watch Junkie discover that AI, opinions, and feelings can never replace God's Word.When Jesus faced temptation, He answered every lie with three powerful words:"It is written."Because when God's truth holds your life together, you can stand strong no matter what the enemy says.Verse of the WeekJohn 4:24 (KJV): "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."What Kids Will LearnWhat the Belt of Truth isWhy Satan uses lies and confusionHow Jesus defeated temptation with ScriptureWhy God's Word is our source of truthHow truth holds everything togetherChallenge of the WeekWhen something sounds confusing, ask: "What does God's Word say?"

ATL: Something Is Different - S2 E22 02.06.2026 10Min.

Some doors you walk through every day without thinking. Others you stand in front of for a long time before you knock.Tanner, Lina, and Micah finally go to Mr. Henry’s porch. The star from last week is gone. Tanner knocks. The door opens.“I was wondering when you’d come.”Inside, Mr. Henry’s kitchen table is covered in wooden stars. He’s been at the church for forty-one years. His grandchildren moved away eleven years ago, and he started carving stars after they left — not knowing who they were for. He placed them in the church, around the neighborhood, year after year. Most went untouched. He almost stopped.But God didn’t tell him to stop. So he didn’t.Then, in January, three kids started finding them. And they didn’t ignore them.Mr. Henry reveals that the stars weren’t random. They were armor — the whole armor of God from Ephesians 6. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word. Every star was a piece of equipment. He’d been fitting them for battle without them knowing.He gives them one final star — larger, heavier, polished: “PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR.”And then he says the words that change everything: “After this, you place your own.”Key ScriptureEphesians 6:11 (KJV)“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”Family Discussion• Is there something God has asked you to do faithfully, even when you can’t see the results yet?Big IdeaFaithful obedience doesn’t need an audience — it needs a willing heart and enough time for God to work.

ARK: Suit Up - S2 E25 01.06.2026 21Min.

There’s a battle going on… but don’t worry—God has already given you everything you need to win!In this exciting kickoff to ARK’s Armor of God series, we travel back to a Roman prison cell where the Apostle Paul watches a soldier standing guard and receives a powerful lesson from God. Piece by piece, Paul begins describing the spiritual armor every Christian needs to wear.The Rubber Bandit learns the hard way that protection works best when you put it on before the attack starts. Ben Breezy reports from a spiritual battle zone. The Truth Traveler takes us to Ephesus where Paul writes one of the most important passages in the Bible. And Dusty discovers that a broom is definitely NOT part of the Armor of God.This episode teaches kids that God has not left them defenseless. He has given them truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, His Word, and much more to help them stand strong every day.What Kids Will LearnWhat the Armor of God isWhy spiritual battles are realWhy we need God's protection every dayThat the Armor of God must be put on before the battle startsThat God gives us everything we need for victoryChallenge of the WeekEvery morning this week, pray: "Jesus, help me put on Your armor today. Help me think right, speak right, and live right."Then ask yourself: "What piece of God's armor do I need today?"

ATL: Don't Forget - S2 E21 26.05.2026 9Min.

Some days you move forward. Other days you stop and look at how far you’ve come. Both matter.With school almost over, Tanner, Lina, and Micah sit on the living room floor and read through the entire Star Log — five months of messages, locations, and choices. For Micah, it’s the first time he’s heard the full story from the beginning.From “BE READY” in a printer room to “IN MY NAME” behind a bulletin board, every entry cost them something. Standing firm cost Tanner a spot on student leadership. Peace cost him his pride. Holiness cost him a grade. But they’re still here.Then Tanner finds something tucked behind the last page of the Log — a folded note in handwriting that isn’t theirs: “You’re ready for what’s next.”On the walk home, they pass Mr. Henry’s house. A wooden star sits openly on his porch railing — not hidden, not tucked away. Displayed. Tanner wants to go to the door. Lina holds him back one last time: “Not yet.”But the porch light stays on a little longer than usual.Key ScriptureDeuteronomy 6:12 (KJV) “Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth.”Family Discussion• What has God done in your life that you never want to forget?• How do you remember what God has done? Do you write it down, talk about it, or pray about it?• Why is it important to look back before you move forward?Big Idea: Remembering what God has done anchors you for what’s ahead.

ARK: The Power Of Remembering - S2 E24 25.05.2026 22Min.

Some memories are too important to lose.In today's episode of ARK, we journey to the Jordan River and discover why God told His people to build a memorial of twelve stones after crossing into the Promised Land. Through cowboy stories, weather forecasts, and a powerful Bible lesson from Papa’s chair, kids learn that remembering what God has done builds faith for what He will do next.Miss Sunshine and Benny talk about honoring heroes and remembering God’s faithfulness. Ben Breezy reports live from the overflowing Jordan River. The Rubber Bandit shares the legend of Boots the horse and a flying horseshoe. And the ARK crew reminds us that answered prayers, miracles, camp moments, and God’s presence become our own “stones of remembrance.”This episode encourages every child listening:Don’t forget what God has done.Remember His faithfulness.And keep building your faith one memory at a time.Verse of the WeekJames 2:19 (KJV) “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”What Kids Will LearnWhy Joshua built memorial stones at the Jordan RiverHow remembering God’s faithfulness builds faithThat testimonies matterWhy Memorial Day is importantHow to create their own “stones of remembrance”Challenge of the WeekStart your own memory jar or “faith journal.” Write down prayers God answers, moments He helps you, or times you felt His presence. Then remember: the same God who helped before can help again.

ATL: It's Still Happening - S2 E20 19.05.2026 11Min.

Some weeks change the calendar. Others change the person.At school, people are noticing something different about Micah — even if they can’t name it. A girl named Ava sits down at their lunch table uninvited and asks the question that starts everything: “What happened to you?”Micah doesn’t preach. He just tells the truth: “Something real happened and I can’t undo it. And I don’t want to.”On the walk home, Tanner and Lina explain what the Bible says about baptism — that every time people received the Holy Ghost in the book of Acts, they were baptized in the name of Jesus. Acts 2. Acts 8. Acts 10. Acts 19. It’s the pattern.Micah decides. Wednesday night, he is baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of his sins.Afterward, they find a star behind the church foyer bulletin board. The message: “IN MY NAME.” It was already there before tonight. Whoever is placing these stars was ahead of them — again.Micah’s Star Log entry: “I was baptized in Jesus’ name tonight. It’s real. All of it.”Key ScriptureActs 10:47–48 (KJV) “Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.”Family Discussion• The Holy Ghost and baptism in Jesus’ name happened all through the book of Acts. Do you believe it’s still happening today?• Why is baptism in Jesus’ name important? What does it mean to you?• Ava noticed something different about Micah before he ever said a word about God. How does your life show what you believe?Big IdeaThe gospel isn’t a history lesson — it’s a living pattern, and it’s still happening today.

ARK: It Happened Everywhere S2 E23 18.05.2026 25Min.

The promise didn’t stay in one room.In this exciting episode of ARK, we follow the spread of the Holy Ghost from Jerusalem to Caesarea to Ephesus—and discover that what happened in Acts chapter 2 didn’t stop there. Through powerful Bible stories, hilarious moments with Rick Roaster, Ben Breezy’s worldwide “forecast,” and the Truth Traveler archive files, kids learn that the Holy Ghost is for everyone everywhere.Peter watches the Holy Ghost fall at Cornelius’ house. Paul meets believers in Ephesus who had never even heard about the Holy Ghost. And every time God fills people with His Spirit, the evidence is the same: speaking with other tongues.This episode reminds every child listening:The promise is still moving.God is still filling people today.And the Holy Ghost is for you too.Verse of the Week2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."What Kids Will LearnThe Holy Ghost wasn’t only for Acts chapter 2God poured out His Spirit in many different placesThe promise is for every nation, family, and ageThe Bible evidence of the Holy Ghost is speaking in tonguesGod is still moving todayChallenge of the WeekPray every day this week and thank God for His promises. Ask Him to fill your heart with His Spirit and help you tell others that the promise is for them too.

ATL: I Didn't Expect That - S2 E19 12.05.2026 13Min.

Some Sundays change everything. Not because you planned it — but because God did.Micah comes to church for the first time. He’s nervous, his mom ironed his shirt twice and cried, and Tanner has been awake since 6:45 rehearsing ways to make church sound normal.But nothing about this Sunday is normal.During worship, something shifts in Micah. At the altar call, he stands up and walks forward. Tanner and Lina kneel beside him. No one coaches him. No one performs. The Spirit of God meets a boy who came with nothing but honesty — and it’s enough.Micah receives the Holy Ghost.Afterward, they find a star pressed into the wood of a church pew — smooth, worn, old. It’s been there for years. The message: “I WILL POUR OUT.”In the parking lot, Lina reveals she saw Mr. Henry in the back pew. He stood up silently when Micah went to the altar — not coming forward, just praying from the back row. Like he knew what was about to happen.And Micah writes in the Star Log for the first time: “I felt found.”Key ScriptureActs 2:38 (KJV) “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”Family Discussion• Do you remember a time when God felt closer than ever? What did that moment mean to you?• How does it feel to know the Holy Ghost is still being poured out today — just like in the book of Acts?• Have you ever been surprised by what God did when you weren’t expecting it?Big IdeaThe Holy Ghost isn’t just history — it’s happening now, to kids just like you.

ARK: God Keeps His Promise - S2 E22 11.05.2026 23Min.

The wait is over.In this powerful episode of ARK, we journey back to the Upper Room in Acts chapter 2 and witness the moment God poured out the Holy Ghost for the very first time.

ATL: Something Is Coming - S2 E18 05.05.2026 10Min.

Some feelings don’t have names yet. They just hum inside you like something big is on the way.Tanner wakes up with a restlessness he can’t explain — not anxiety, not fear, just a sense that something is shifting. At school, Micah asks if he can come to church on Sunday. Tanner says yes immediately. Lina pauses — not because she doesn’t want Micah there, but because she wants him to come for the right reasons.Micah’s answer settles it: “I’ve been thinking about it since you guys stood up for me. Nobody ever did that before. And I keep wondering… where does that come from?”On the walk home, they pass Mr. Henry’s house. He nods from the porch and says two words: “Keep going.”At home, Tanner finds a star in his desk drawer — placed there while they were at school. The message: “PREPARE.” A familiar arrow mark on the back connects it to the very first stars from January.Something is coming. And whoever has been placing these stars… already knows.Key ScriptureJoel 2:28 (KJV) “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.”Family Discussion• Have you ever felt like God was getting you ready for something — even before you knew what it was?• What does it look like to prepare your heart for what God might do?• Why do you think God sometimes stirs something inside us before He moves around us?Big IdeaGod stirs expectation before He moves — and preparation is a form of faith.

ARK: Wait - S2 E21 04.05.2026 28Min.

What do you do when you’ve prayed… and nothing seems to happen?In this powerful episode, ARK dives into one of the hardest instructions Jesus ever gave: wait. Through fun segments, real-life moments, and a journey to the Mount of Olives, kids discover that waiting isn’t failure—it’s preparation.From Gigi’s fear of praying out loud, to a hilarious (and painful) lesson about rushing ahead, to Mia’s honest question about receiving the Holy Ghost, this episode reminds us:God doesn’t waste your wait.

ATL: This Isn't Just For Us - S2 E17 28.04.2026 8Min.

Some paths lead you home.Others lead you somewhere you didn't plan to go.For the first time, Micah walks home with Tanner and Lina. He's got questions about the stars, the trail, the church closet — and they don't have all the answers.At the corner of Maple and Seventh — the intersection they always turn right — Tanner stops. A star sits tucked against the base of the stop sign. One word: "GO." They turn left. Down a street they've never walked. Twelve minutes from home, they find a park, a rusted fence, and a kid named Deshawn sitting alone on a bench — waiting for his mom to get off work. They don't preach. They don't hand out a flyer. They just sit down. And for the first time, the trail doesn't just teach them something — it sends them somewhere.Key ScriptureMark 16:15 (KJV) "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."Family DiscussionWho is someone near you that might be waiting for someone to just show up?What's the difference between learning about God and being sent by God?Have you ever turned a new direction and found someone who needed you there?Big IdeaFollowing God isn't just about growing — it's about going. The trail doesn't just lead you. It leads through you.

ARK: Go Tell Everyone - S2 E20 27.04.2026 27Min.

Jesus had just risen from the dead. He gathered His disciples one more time and gave them a mission thatwasn't just for them — it was for every believer who would ever come after them. Go into all the world. Preach the gospel. Tell everybody.Going doesn't always mean traveling far. It means wherever you go, you take Jesus with you — to school, to the park, to your neighborhood, and yes, even to the gas station guywho talks too long.Key ScriptureMark 16:15 (KJV) “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”Matthew 28:19–20 (KJV) “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost… and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”Verse of the WeekIsaiah 43:11 (KJV) “I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.”Practice it together this week.Record your kids saying it and send it in — we'd love to hear them!Family DiscussionQuestions• Who is one person God might be putting on your heart totell about Jesus this week?• What does “go” look like when you're a kid?

ATL: We Should Have Known - S2 E16 21.04.2026 9Min.

Not every adventure starts with a clue.Some start with a mop bucket and a list of chores nobody volunteered for.During the church's annual spring cleaning, Tanner and Lina are stuck hauling chairs, sweeping floors, and organizing a storage closet that hasn't been opened in years.Behind a dusty shelf, pinned to a forgotten bulletin board, they find something that changes everything — a wooden star. Old. Worn smooth. With a message that hits different than all the others: "I WAS WITH YOU."This star wasn't placed for them. It was already there — waiting, patient, faithful — long before they ever started walking the trail.And then things get more interesting: Mr. Henry is spotted serving quietly at their church, and Micah shows up outside the building uninvited — curious, awkward, and taking his first real step toward something bigger.Key Scripture: Luke 24:31 (KJV) - "And their eyes were opened, and they knew him."Family Discussion:• Can you think of a time when you realized God had been helping you — even before you noticed?• Why do you think some people serve quietly without being recognized?• What does it mean that the trail was already there before Tanner and Lina found it?Big Idea: Recognition doesn't create truth — it reveals it. You were never as alone as you felt.

ARK: A Place At The Table - S2 E19 20.04.2026 37Min.

Jesus doesn't just save us — He invites us close.In this episode of ARK, we sit at the table with Jesus and discover that He's not a faraway God. He's the One who shows up, cooks breakfast on the shore, and says "come and eat." From Rick Roaster's hilarious takedown of the locked door that couldn't keep Jesus out, to Trey from Around the Way's laid-back report from the beach where Jesus served the disciples fish and bread, to a sweet moment where Miss Sunshine and Cole write letters to the people they miss — this episode is all about one truth: Jesus makes room for you.No matter where you've been. No matter what you've been through. There's a place at the table with your name on it.Pull up a chair. He's already waiting.

ATL: Right There! S2 E15 14.04.2026 5Min.

Sometimes the hardestthing to believe… is that you're not alone.When the trail goes quiet, Tanner starts to wonder if thewhole journey was a mistake. No markers. No sound. No sign that anything is guiding them.Then Lina hears it — a second set of footsteps. Matching theirs. Step for step.They can't see who's walking beside them. The footsteps come and go without explanation. And for the first time, Tanner has to wrestle with trusting something he can't see, can't control, and can't prove.But when the footsteps disappear, Lina asks the real question:What if they were there the whole time — even last week, when everything was silent? Key ScriptureLuke 24:15 (KJV) - "Jesus himself drew near, and went with them." Family Discussion· How can you trust that God is with you — evenwhen you don't feel or see anything?· Have you ever looked back and realized God wascloser than you thought?· What's the difference between God being silentand God being absent? Big IdeaPresence doesn't always announce itself — sometimes itsimply stays close.

ARK: The Empty Road - Jesus Walks With Us - S2 E18 13.04.2026 29Min.

Sometimes the road feels dark — and you can't quite see who's walking beside you.In this episode of ARK, we follow the dusty road to Emmaus, where two heartbroken followers of Jesus walked right next to Him and didn't even know it. Through Ben Breezy's forecast tracking "low visibility in the heart," a hilarious detour with the Rubber Bandit and his "secret shortcut," and a tender moment between Miss Sunshine and Ellie, we explore what it means to feel confused, sad, and unsure — and discover that Jesus is closer than we think.Plus, a boy named Noah shares what happened when a stranger walked with him through the dark on the way to the studio — and turned out to be someone he already knew.Because even when you can't see Him, Jesus is already right there. Walking beside you. Warming your heart. Opening your eyes.Listen close. He's closer than you think.

ATL: Following Without Seeing - S2 E14 07.04.2026 4Min.

What do you do when the trail goes quiet?Tanner and Lina have grown used to signs — stars, sounds, footprints, messages. Each one confirmed they wereheading the right direction. But today… nothing. No star. No sound. No marker. Just silence.Tanner struggles. He questions whether they missed something, went the wrong way, or if the trail has endedentirely. Lina stays steady, reminding him that silence doesn’t mean absence.Instead of waiting for a sign, Tanner makes a decision: keep moving based on what they’ve already learned.Stand. Choose peace. Do what’s right. Seek God. He doesn’t have confirmation, but he has conviction.And when they look down, they discover marks on the ground... not their own. Someone has been walking with them the whole time.Silence wasn’t emptiness. It was trust without explanation.Key Scripture2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV) “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”Family Discussion• What helps you trust God when you don’t have all theanswers?• Have you ever had to keep going without a clear signthat you were doing the right thing?• How is choosing to obey different from reacting to asign?Big IdeaFaith isn’t waiting for proof; it’s walking forward because of what you already know to be true.
