Ep 12 - Bob Bilby
3w ago00:44:42Tap to summarizeWelcome back to another exciting episode of Bluey and the Bible! In Episode 12, we are tackling the infamous grade school project: taking home the class pet. Bingo brings home a stuffed bilby named Bob, expecting a weekend full of fun family adventures to document for her class book. However, the Heelers run into a hilariously relatable snag—the entire family is glued to their screens. After snapping photos of Bob watching cartoons in the car and playing mindless tablet games, Bingo makes a tragic discovery: this is the most boring time Bob has ever had! To save the weekend, Bandit ditches the digital devices, busts out an old Polaroid camera from when he "used to be cool," and leads the family on an epic, screen-free bike ride to the park. In this episode, we unpack the very real struggle of screen time in modern parenting and how easily it can take over our lives. We dive into how our screen habits can actually reveal what our hearts truly treasure, drawing on timeless wisdom from verses like Luke 12:34 and Psalm 90:12. Join us for some honest confessions, practical tips, and plenty of laughs as we discuss how to put down the phones and intentionally redeem the time with our kids. Tune in to hear the full discussion—and to find out why you should definitely know the difference between an Australian wallaby and a bilby!

Apr 1600:09:03Tap to summarizeSolo Short: Spotlight on Chilli Heeler! Welcome to a special, bite-sized character breakdown on the Blue in the Bible podcast! With Jesse out this week, Justin is flying solo to shine the spotlight on everyone's favorite red-and-cream Heeler mom, Chilli. In this fun, five-minute dive, Justin explores what makes Chilli such a fantastic mother to Bluey and Bingo, from her amazing multitasking skills to her willingness to jump right into their imaginative play. We'll also dig into some fun character details and hilarious online rumors, like the theory that Chilli's part-time job in airport security might mean she and Bandit are secretly running an espionage or art heist ring! Along the way, Justin connects Chilli's nurturing nature to the Proverbs 31 woman and discusses how a mother and father's balancing dynamics reflect a beautiful, complete image of God. Plus, as a fellow redhead with a family of redheads, Justin shares his personal appreciation for Chilli's ginger fur!

Ep 11 - Bike
Jan 3100:34:06Tap to summarizeWe are back on the wagon and shaking off the rust for another episode of Bluey in the Bible! Join hosts Justin and Jesse as we head to the park for the episode "Bike",. Bluey discovers that riding a bike is "trifficult," leading to the classic declaration: "I quit",. But she isn't the only one struggling! We break down our Favorite Bits, including Bentley getting stuck on the monkey bars ("I'd like to get down now") and Muffin’s hilarious, "unacceptable" meltdown while trying to put on a backpack,. Plus, we discuss why Bingo decides that drinking water off the ground is a valid life choice. In this episode’s Dollar Bucks: Why does Bandit stop Bluey from rushing in to help her friends?. We explore the deep dad-wisdom of letting children struggle to build character, connecting Bandit's patience to Romans 5 and the idea that tribulation brings about perseverance. We also look at Deuteronomy 31 to see how, much like Bandit watching from the bench, God is the one who goes with us and never forsakes us. So, whether you are spinning in circles like Muffin or ready to try again like Bluey, tune in for some laughs and biblical encouragement. As we like to say: Catch you on the flip side, Willy!.

Transcribe →Ep 006 - The Weekend
Apr 22, 202500:24:06Tap to summarizeThis week on Bluey and the Bible, we look at The Weekend, where Bingo has a tough moment—and Dad gently shows up to help her through it. It’s a sweet reminder of the truth found in Mark 10:13–16: Jesus welcomes children, draws near to them, and holds space for their big feelings. As parents, we can model Christ’s presence—drawing near instead of stepping back, offering comfort instead of correction. Just like Bandit met Bingo where she was, Jesus meets our kids (and us) with compassion and love. Join us as we reflect on what it means to be present, gentle, and like Jesus in the little moments that matter most. Follow us on X, Facebook, and Instagram!
