## Script

Welcome to tonight’s Reyna family mini podcast.

Today’s topic is boldness.

The page we read reminds us that boldness means having courage to do what is right, even when it feels hard. It is not about being loud, rude, or trying to show off. Real boldness comes from trusting God and asking him for help.

The page starts with a prayer. It says, “Lord Jesus, I’m praying for loved ones today, for boldness to tell them that you love them.”

That is a beautiful thought. Sometimes we know something good, but we feel shy about saying it. Maybe we want to tell someone that God loves them. Maybe we want to invite someone to learn something from the Bible. Maybe we want to stand up for what is right at school or with friends. But then our heart feels nervous.

That is when we can pray.

The prayer asks for help to obey God and to share good news with love. It also says that the only one worthy of fear is the Lord. That means we do not have to be controlled by what other people think. We can respect people, be kind to them, and still have courage.

Now let’s think about a Bible example.

In Acts chapter four, Peter and John were told not to speak about Jesus anymore. That could have made them very scared. But they prayed. They asked God to help them keep speaking with boldness. And God helped them.

So boldness is not something we have to create all by ourselves. We can ask God for it.

Imagine you are holding a little sparkler, like the picture on the page. At first it is just one small light. But in the dark, that little light is easy to see. Our words can be like that. A kind sentence, a brave answer, or a simple Bible thought can shine for someone else.

Here is a kid question.

Can you think of one time when it might feel hard to talk about God or do what is right?

Maybe at school, when other kids are laughing at something bad.
Maybe with a friend, when you want to say no to something wrong.
Maybe with family, when you want to say something kind but feel shy.

Now here is the second question.

What could you pray for in that moment?

You could pray, “Jehovah, please help me be brave, but also kind.”
You could pray, “Please help me say the right thing.”
You could pray, “Please help me remember that you are with me.”

That is boldness.

The page also says to do something about it: pray for someone you can tell about God’s love. Then ask God to help you love that person and share light before the day ends.

So tonight, here is our small family challenge.

Think of one person. Just one. Someone who might need encouragement. Someone who might need to remember that God sees them and loves them.

You do not have to give a big speech. You could say, “I prayed for you.” Or, “God cares about you.” Or, “Can I share a Bible thought with you?”

Small words can be brave words.

Tonight’s memory thought is this:

Boldness is courage with love.

Not courage to be mean.
Not courage to argue.
Not courage to show off.

Boldness is courage to obey God, speak kindly, and shine a little light.

Let’s end with a simple prayer thought.

Jehovah, please help us be brave in a loving way. Help us remember people who need encouragement. Help us speak with kindness, obey you, and shine light in our family and with our friends. Amen.

That’s tonight’s mini podcast. Sleep well, and remember: a small light can still shine bright.
