    Ep 14 - Takeaway
    Sep 25 2026

    Bandit just needs five minutes — the spring rolls aren't ready, there's one table, two daughters, and a whole lot of waiting. In "Takeaway," Justin and Jesse find what happens when a dad's best-laid plans collide with the beautiful chaos of small children in dead time, and why a fortune cookie read from the floor of a Chinese restaurant might be the most quietly theological moment in the whole series. They dig into Jesus calling the children to him (Matthew 19:14), GK Chesterton's stunning passage from Orthodoxy about God's "eternal appetite of infancy," and what it means that we've sinned and grown old while our Father is younger than we. If you've ever stood in a waiting room with little kids and just tried to survive five minutes, this one's for you.

    Ep 13 - SpyGame
    Jul 28 2026
    Justin and Jesse take on an episode that neither of them ranks as a favorite — and still pull out a full table's worth of truth. When Bluey's spy-potion game collapses under her own bossiness, the fallout becomes a picture of why God designed us for community from the very first pages of Scripture. Along the way: a rock-stacking metaphor that doesn't quite stick, a cup in the ocean, and Bluey learning to put Bingo first. What we unpack this episode: - The meltdown — assigned roles nobody wants, and how "taking your ball and going home" wrecks the game. - Bossiness bites back — Bluey refuses to use Bingo's pretend name (Sparkle Shocks), then kicks her out entirely. - Bandit's pack metaphor — "We all have a place in the pack," even when the stack-of-rocks illustration doesn't land. - The turn — Bluey realizes the game is simply better with her sister in it, and finally apologizes. - Putting others first — Bluey steps back so Bingo can take the moment, a picture of Christ-shaped humility. Scripture in this episode: - Genesis 2:18 — "It is not good that man should be alone"; community is built into creation. - Ephesians 3:17-19 — rooted in love and filled with God's fullness, known together "with all the saints." - Hebrews 10:24-25 — a staple verse at our church: don't forsake gathering; spur one another on. - Philippians 2:1-4 — count others more important than yourself; the opposite of selfish ambition.

  • Ep 12 - Bob Bilby

    Ep 12 - Bob Bilby
    May 14 2026

    Welcome back to another exciting episode of Bluey and the Bible! In Episode 12, we are tackling the infamous grade school project: taking home the class pet.

    Bingo brings home a stuffed bilby named Bob, expecting a weekend full of fun family adventures to document for her class book. However, the Heelers run into a hilariously relatable snag—the entire family is glued to their screens. After snapping photos of Bob watching cartoons in the car and playing mindless tablet games, Bingo makes a tragic discovery: this is the most boring time Bob has ever had!

    To save the weekend, Bandit ditches the digital devices, busts out an old Polaroid camera from when he "used to be cool," and leads the family on an epic, screen-free bike ride to the park.

    In this episode, we unpack the very real struggle of screen time in modern parenting and how easily it can take over our lives. We dive into how our screen habits can actually reveal what our hearts truly treasure, drawing on timeless wisdom from verses like Luke 12:34 and Psalm 90:12. Join us for some honest confessions, practical tips, and plenty of laughs as we discuss how to put down the phones and intentionally redeem the time with our kids.

    Tune in to hear the full discussion—and to find out why you should definitely know the difference between an Australian wallaby and a bilby!
