Join The Journey Jr. is designed to help parents guide their kids in Bible reading through interactive and age-specific lessons. In 2026, we’re studying the book of Acts—one passage per week. For another year, teaching on Sunday will align with each week’s passage. Then, for the next six days, we’ll return to the same passage with fresh focus, exploring insights about who God is and how we can enjoy him more deeply. Monday through Saturday, we’ll approach the same passage from a different perspective each day—whether observation, interpretation, prayer, or another spiritual practice—to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for God’s Word. Then, watch or listen to the video podcast to tackle the week's toughest verses and discover key historical, theological, and practical insights. \n\nDaily Bible lessons for adults: https://jointhejourney.com\nDaily Bible lessons for parents and families: https://jointhejourney.com/jr...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/g8x-nKo1hHoOC64414t8HN0w6lYNHLbeV0qRxaVtU3o/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI2ODA1LzE2ODky/ODI1MDMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
