This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Mary and Joseph. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Luke 1: 26-38 and Matthew 1: 18-25. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, but before that happened she lived in the town of Nazareth. Mary had no children because she lived according to God’s law and had never been married. But she was engaged to marry a man named Joseph. 

One day, an angel came to Mary and said that God had chosen Mary. The angel said, “God is with you!” But Mary was afraid and confused. She wondered what the angel was talking about.

Then the angel said, “Don’t be afraid! God loves you and wants to use you in a great way! You will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus! He will be very great and he will be the king forever!”

Mary asked, “But how can this happen?” For she was not married yet and knew that she couldn’t have a child until she was married.

But the angel told Mary that the Holy Spirit would make her pregnant, so that the baby born will be holy and will be called the Son of God! The angel reminded her that, “Nothing is impossible with God!”

So Mary decided to trust God and all that he had planned for her.

Before their wedding, Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant. He thought she had done something wrong. But Joseph was a man of God and decided to break off the engagement quietly so no one around town would think badly of Mary.

While Joseph was thinking about all this, an angel appeared to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife.” The angel explained that Mary’s baby was from God. The angel told Joseph that the baby’s name would be Jesus and he would save his people from their sins.

And when Joseph woke up he did as the angel told him to and took Mary as his wife while she was still pregnant with the Son of God. And so Joseph and Mary trusted in God and the two followed the plan that God had given them to help bring the Savior into the world.
