Hi? Friends. 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: Mr Jake and I are launching a new podcast today 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: called Bible Adventure Stories. That's where we tell a really 9 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: cool Bible adventure story and then we talked about it 10 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: afterwards and have a really great time. And so Mr Jake, 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, what do you have a favorite 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: adventure that you've been on? Oh? I do, Mr Jim. 13 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: One of my favorite adventures I've ever been on involves 14 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: the craziest cool cave. Now, inside this cave, there's some 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: creepy crawlers, there were some kind of spooky noises, But 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: the best part was when I got on the other 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: side did the cave, there was the most beautiful waterfall 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: I've ever seen and I got to swim in that waterfall. 19 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: It was just the coolest adventure. Everywhile that sounds like 20 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: we need to go there, like today, we should. We 21 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: definitely should well, friends, let's hop into this adventure and 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: if you want to continue the conversation after the story, 23 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: heading over to the Bible Adventure Stories podcast where Mr 24 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: Jake and Mr Jim continue this really fun conversation. Well, 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: are you guys ready for today's adventure? So let's go. 26 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: Summer was right around the corner and Charlie's school was 27 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: having one last event, a talent show. The talent show 28 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: is a really big deal at the school. Everyone would 29 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: come prepared with something so cool to show off, but 30 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: Charlie could never think of anything to do that would 31 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: get her a spot in the show. She was hoping 32 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: this year would be different. Charlie was sitting in class 33 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: on Monday afternoon, the school bell ring and everyone rushed 34 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: to the sign up sheet to audition and try out 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: for the talent show. What are you going to do 36 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: this year in the show, asked one of her classmates. 37 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: Someone else spoke up and said, I'm going to sing 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: my own song that I wrote. Another person said, well, 39 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to bring my dog in to show them 40 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: all the tricks that I taught it. Charlie just wasn't 41 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: sure what talent she was going to do. In fact, 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: she couldn't even hear herself think about it over all 43 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: the noise and excitement everyone was making about these sign ups. 44 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Later that day in the lunch room, Charlie and her 45 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: friend were talking. Did you put your name on the list? 46 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: Asked Trevor. I did, but I might tell the teacher 47 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: to take my name off that list. I just don't 48 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: think I can do anything cool for the talent show. 49 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: What sure you can, Charlie? Let's make a list of 50 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: some things you could try? Okay, Like what, well? I 51 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: know you like music? Could you play any instruments? Umm? Well, 52 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: the only instrument I know how to play is the 53 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: air guitar. Does that count? All right? Well, we can 54 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: cross that one off the list. Let me think juggling. 55 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Could you could learn to juggle something like extreme fire 56 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: or swords or something crazy. Yeah, I'm not so sure 57 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: that's a good idea for my safety or even the 58 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: people in the audience. Yeah right, you know there was 59 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: that one time I did gymnastics. Maybe I could still 60 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: do some cool tricks. You did gymnastics. I didn't know 61 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: you could do back flips, said Trevor. Oh wait, you're 62 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: right now that I think about it, that might have 63 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: just been a dream I had a couple of weeks ago. Hmm, Well, 64 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: there's got to be something in there for you, Charlie. 65 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: We have we all have gifts and talents that make 66 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: it is unique. Maybe I just haven't discovered mine yet. 67 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna sit this one out again this year. 68 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: Charlie goes back to class after lunch, thinking over and 69 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: over in her head. I know I have something special. 70 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: I have to have at least one talent that will 71 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: make me shine in the Talent show, said Charlie. As 72 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: she is at her desk, thinking and thinking and thinking, 73 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: she starts doodling in her notebook. Charlie did this a lot. 74 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: She liked to be very creative in her free time. 75 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: Charlie's teacher walks by her desk and gasps, wow, Charlie, 76 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: this drawing you have done is so good. Like where 77 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: did you learn to do this? I don't know, Charlie said, 78 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: It's just something I've always loved doing. You have a 79 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: real talent as an artist, her teacher said. This made 80 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: Charlie so happy. She never knew her drawing and art 81 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: skills were such a talent. She leaned to her friend 82 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: Trevor in class, and whispered Trevor, I'm an artist, but 83 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: you you what my talent. I'm an artist. See look. 84 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: She holds up her notebook and shows him the drawing 85 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: she had made on her paper. It was the coolest 86 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: picture of a beach with the waves and the sea 87 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: animals and palm trees. It looked so real you could 88 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: practically hear the ocean. Whoa, Trevor shouted, disrupting the whole class. 89 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: How do you think you'll you'll show that in the 90 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: talent show. I don't know yet, but I'll definitely think 91 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: of something. As class is ending and everyone is packing 92 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: up to go home for the day, Charlie's teacher makes 93 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: a few announcements, and at the end she makes one 94 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: final request. Charlie, hey, will you stick around after class 95 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: for a few minutes. I'd love to talk to you 96 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: about something. A bell rings and everyone rushes out of 97 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: class to head for the buses. Charlie her teacher said, 98 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: I noticed you put your name down on the sign 99 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: of sheet for the talent show, but didn't put anything 100 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: down for your talent. Are you still planning on auditioning 101 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: tomorrow for the show? I'm not really sure, said Charlie, 102 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: I really thought that year was my year to shine. 103 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: But drawing a picture on stage just doesn't seem as 104 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: cool as singing, or danceling or chuggling fire. Well, Charlie, 105 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: not everyone has to have a talent that can be 106 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: shown on a stage. Plus, I actually have something really 107 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: special for you to do in the Talent Show this 108 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: year that would really shine for everyone to see. It's 109 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: a really cool idea I have. Charlie's teacher lets her 110 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: use her talent as an artist by creating all the 111 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: stage props for the Talent Show. She was so excited 112 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: that she started drawing right away. The next day were 113 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: the Talent Show auditions, and Charlie and all of her 114 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: classmates showed up. Everyone showed up early to practice, get 115 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: in costume, and make sure they were ready to take 116 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: the stage. Charlie, Hey, did you find a way to 117 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: show us a drawing in the Talent Show this year? 118 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: I've got something even better. I'm not gonna just show 119 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: one drawing. I'm going to show my whole talent as 120 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: an artist. Wait, what do you mean. With the biggest 121 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: smile on her face, Charlie holds up her sketch book 122 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: and all of her art supplies and shows Trevor what 123 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: she had been working on all night. WHOA how cool 124 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: is that? Said Trevor. I can't believe your art is 125 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,239 Speaker 1: gonna be on the big stage for everyone to see. 126 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm really happy for you, Charlie. This is going to 127 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: be the best talent show ever. A couple of weeks 128 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: go by and the Talent Show had finally arrived. Charlie 129 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: was so excited to see her artwork in action. Everyone 130 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,559 Speaker 1: filled the theater and grabbed their seats. The lights faded down, 131 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: the curtains opened, and it was perfect. Charlie had created 132 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: the most amazing stage for all of her friends to 133 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: perform on and throughout the Talent Show, everyone did such 134 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: a great job, but there was still one very important 135 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: piece of the show that everyone was nervous about. The awards, 136 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: and of course everyone wanted to take home the big trophy, 137 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: but that goes to the talent that really set out 138 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: the most to the judges. The curtains finally closed after 139 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: the last act and all the students got on stage 140 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: for one final bow. Charlie, Come on, Charlie, said, our teacher, 141 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: you were just as much a part of the show 142 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: as everyone else. Charlie jumped on stage just as the 143 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: curtains were opening back up. Everyone in the crowd was 144 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: on their feet, clapping and cheering for how amazing the 145 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: Talent Show was. The teacher grabbed the microphone and began 146 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: to hand out the awards. The final trophy for best 147 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: Talent this year goes to someone who really shined through 148 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: what was inside of them, said the teacher. You might 149 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: not have seen this person on stage, but you have 150 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: seen just how hard they worked. Everyone put your hands 151 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: together for this amazing stage. That and the Talent Show winner, Charlie. 152 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: Everyone cheered and celebrated for Charlie as she took home 153 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: the trophy for the amazing and creative talent and skill 154 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: that she had. Wow, what an amazing adventure. Now we 155 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: gotta break it down, Mr Jake, are you ready? I'm ready. 156 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: Let's break it down.
