David and Goliath. So much has been written about these two foes that it seems strange to say more. The good news for you is, I'm not really concerned with the stars of this story but rather the men in Saul's army who do nothing and who leave a young boy to face their enemy alone. Let's take a look at them as we continue reading through these basic stories of our tradition in this latest series, VBS.

VBS: Very Basic Stories is a collection of 12 quintessential VBS stories for us to look at and see how they hit us differently as adults. Join us!

If last week's episode was my favorite story in scripture, today is my second. Let's talk about Ruth and what we learn from her and Boaz...which is different from what we often hear when Ruth's story is read at a wedding.

Today is my absolute favorite story for the Bible:Jonah. And we are going to talk as little about the fish as possible. Hope you enjoy!

We’re going to keep moving forward and skip over a few familiar stories, some we might come back to later, to meet Moses talking to a bush that’s on fire, literally, with a message from God. This is the story where we learn God’s name and what that name means for us. Hope you enjoy!

We’re moving on from the beginning, but not that far ahead. We all know the story of the Flood, but I think we forget how dark it is when we just think about the zoo Noah built. And despite its darkness, it shines a light on how we relate to one another and to God. Let’s take another look!

There’s one last thing we haven’t talked about when it comes to healing and all the many things Jesus heals folks from in the gospels: how Jesus heals people from, as the gospels put it, the demons that possess them. I could talk about this story for weeks and, I think, never look at it from the same angle.

And I hope y’all are ready for a new series. Summer vacation is in full effect and for a lot of kids and churches, that means it’s time for VBS. I've got 12 quintessential VBS stories lined up for us to look at and see how they hit us differently as adults. Join us starting next Tuesday for VBS: Very Basic Stories! Check out the trailer in your feed today!

Check out VBS (Very Basic Stories), our summer series here at God Knows Where. Kids get all the fun with skits and songs and snacks at vacation Bible school, but what about us? There are so many great stories that shaped my faith as a child that I dove into deeply at VBS, but I've noticed something. Once we've learned those stories and what we were taught they mean at VBS, we rarely go back and look at them again as adults.

Noah's always saving animals. Jonah's always running away from God. David is always slaying Goliath. You know what I mean.

Let's change that. I've got 12 stories for us to look at this summer--stories that have shaped VBS for years--and see if we hear them any differently today than we did all those years ago. Join me!

Episode 1: Creation
Episode 2: The Flood
Episode 3: Moses and the Burning Bush
Episode 4: Jonah
Episode 5: Ruth
Episode 6: Tower of Babel
Episode 7: The Coat of Many Colors
Episode 8: The Battle of Jericho
Episode 9: Samuel and Eli
Episode 10: David and Goliath
Episode 11: Daniel and the Lions' Den
Episode 12: Esther
