With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s a perfect opportunity to get our kids talking about gratitude. In this week’s episode of the True Tale Trail we’ll explore one of the most powerful stories of thankfulness in the Bible—Luke 17:11–19. Ten men with leprosy cried out to Jesus for help, and all ten were healed… but only one turned back to say “thank you.”

Why did he return when the others didn’t? What does this teach us about real thankfulness? And how can our families learn to slow down, look around, and thank God not just for His gifts, but for who He is?

Whether it’s Thanksgiving or summertime, this adventure invites people of all ages to pause, praise, and draw close to Jesus, the Giver of every good thing.

True Tale Trail Episode 3: Light for the Trail (Psalm 119:105)

In this week’s adventure, we’re talking about one of the most important pieces of outdoor gear you can pack: a flashlight! Whether you’re camping in the woods or exploring a dark trail, a flashlight helps you see where you’re going—and keeps you from tripping over all those sneaky roots and rocks along the way.

But on today’s hike, we’re going to discover something way better than even the brightest flashlight. God’s Word—the Bible—is our true light! It shows us where to step, helps us make wise choices, and points us straight toward Jesus, the Light of the World.

Our Backpack Bible Verse comes from Psalm 119:105:

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

So grab your hiking boots, switch on your flashlight, and join us on the trail as we learn how the Bible helps us follow Jesus—even when life gets dark.
