Questions parents ask
What ages are the stories for?
Children aged 3 to 8. They are made to be watched with a parent or grandparent, who can talk about the story afterwards.
Are the stories true to the Bible?
Every story is told from a named Bible passage, which is listed on its page. Hard stories are told gently, with no graphic detail, and always end on hope.
Which church or tradition is this from?
None in particular. The stories are Gospel-centred and non-denominational: they are about who Jesus is and how much God loves children, without teaching that belongs to only one church.
How often is there a new story?
From Monday 2 November there are six new stories every week, Monday to Saturday, and a family question and prayer every Sunday. Each story is about four to six minutes long.
Where can I watch?
On the Jesus and Me YouTube channel, and here on this website, where every story also has a page you can read and talk about together.
