What do beavers, dams, and a house built on a rock have in common? In this week’s episode of The True Tale Trail, we’re heading out on the trail to discover how one of God’s most talented animal builders points us to an important lesson taught by Jesus.

Kids will learn fun facts about beavers—God’s furry construction workers—and then hear Jesus’ story about the wise and foolish builders from Matthew 7. Along the way, families will be reminded that a life built on Jesus is the only thing that lasts.

This episode helps kids understand what it means to not just hear God’s Word, but to do what it says, building their lives on Jesus, the solid rock who helps us stay strong when hard times come.

Today’s Backpack Bible Verse:
“ Don’t just listen to the word. You fool yourselves if you do that. You must do what it says.” – James 1:22 (NIrV)
