Annie's MiniBFF Podcast

That Sounds Fun Network

In March 2020 when the world started closing doors, Annie F. Downs opened one for her youngest group of friends. Every Monday night, you can find Annie reading a story over on Instagram live to an average of 16,000 households. To continue with her love for reading to her miniBFFs, Annie is now sharing the words from her favorite book ever – The Bible. The miniBFF podcast will allow kids (and their grownups) a chance to grow in their faith as she brings the stories of the Bible to life.

    Episode 73: Lydia

    The last episode of Season 5! I know, I am sad too miniBFFS. But think of all the people we have learned about this season!  We have also grown so much deeper in our knowledge of how God works through his people. We have loved using the Go Bible, which brought us lessons from a feature called The True Tales of Transformed People. This part of the Go Bible gives a snapshots of different people from the Bible, and each week we are focusing on one person who has been transformed by God. 


    For our last week we are learning all about Lydia. Oh miniBFFs, I love her. First she made a very expensive type of purple cloth, which is very unique because finding clothing with color back then was rare, minibffs!  And she used the money she earned from her business to help grow the kingdom of God too. You can also read more about Lydia in the Go Bible on page 1341.

    Episode 63: The Sun Stops Shining

    We know about Easter Sunday but did you know that there is a very important day that comes before Easter? Well, it is called Good Friday. On this day the people who didn’t know Jesus and all the wonderful ways he loved the world, decided that Jesus wasn't allowed to live anymore. Our story today talks about what happened on that day. It can feel really hard to read because it is so hard to think about Jesus being treated so badly. But miniBFFs we know that what happened on Good Friday isn’t how this story ends.


    This story, The Sun Stops Shining, comes from The Jesus Storybook Bible and can be found on page 302. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23 John 19 in the Bible.
