Rahab, Episode 2: Faith Is What You Do When It Costs You
The king's men come to Rahab's door and she hides the spies, an act of treason that could cost her life. Then she declares that the Lord is the one true God. Everyone in Jericho heard the same stories about God, but only Rahab turned what she heard into faith, and faith is what you do when it costs you something.

For Parents
Most kids know the right thing to do long before they're brave enough to do it. Stand up for the kid getting picked on, tell the truth when they broke something, speak up when a friend's making a bad call. This episode shows Rahab risking her life to do the right thing, and names the difference between believing something in your head and acting on it. After listening, ask your kid about a moment this week when doing the right thing was hard, and what they did.
