Sherilyn R. Grant and Christian Parenting
About this episode

In this episode of theTruth Seekers: Bible Stories for Kids Podcast, we explore the powerful story of The Widow’s Offering from Mark 12:41–44. When Jesus saw a poor widow give two small coins at the temple, He said she had given more than all the others, because she gave everything she had with a trusting heart.

This kid-friendly Bible story teaches children the importance of generosity, faith, and trusting God, even when we don’t have much to give. It's a beautiful reminder that God sees our hearts more than the size of our gift.

Perfect for parents, teachers, and children's ministry leaders looking for Christian podcasts for kids, Bible stories for children, or devotions for kids about giving and faith.
