Thanksgiving Bible Trivia Special
A taco-fueled Thanksgiving special with kids, trivia buzzers, and a verse that grounds us when life gets loud—this one is pure joy with real depth. We kick off with favorite moments and a delightfully odd brain teaser from D: “Do we pretend to sleep before we sleep?” That playful question cracks the door for a richer conversation about habits, how gratitude is practiced, and why small rituals shape big faith.
From there, we sprint into Bible trivia built around giving thanks. We remember what the rainbow meant after the flood, watch Miriam lead with a tambourine after the Red Sea, and see David dance with all his might. We talk about Israel’s thanksgiving offerings in Leviticus as shared meals of gratitude, not just sacrifices. Then we revisit the rebuilt temple, where young men shout for joy while the older men weep at the memory of what was—an honest portrait of hope and loss standing side by side.
The heartbeat of the episode lands on John 16:33: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” We name the tension straight: peace is not the absence of trouble; it is the presence of Jesus. Gratitude becomes more than seasonal cheer—it becomes a resilient habit rooted in God’s character. We look at the one healed leper who turned back to thank Jesus, and at Paul’s pattern of thanking God for believers and praying with thanksgiving in all circumstances. Along the way, the lightning round keeps things lively with quick hits on Noah’s sons, Babel’s languages, and Abraham’s nephew.
If you love family-friendly faith conversations, practical Bible learning, and a good laugh mixed with real hope, you’ll feel at home here. Bring a pen, keep score, and try the “two thanks and one ask” practice this week. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs some light and courage, and leave a review to help more families find the show. What are you thankful for today?

When we get to the Bible trivia section, contestants, all of our trivia will be about giving thanks to God. It won't all be like Thanksgiving, but it will be about giving thanks to God. So it's like Thanksgiving, but in reverse, giving thanks. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks. But before we get into that, um, let's go ahead and hit our FPD, our favorite part of the day or the week, or something that you uh that you really uh have enjoyed. Demarion, why don't you go ahead and tell us your favorite part of the day?
SPEAKER_02:Eating steak tacos. What? I'm a tacos. I knew what you were gonna say.
SPEAKER_07:Eating steak tacos is you have both the same FPD?
SPEAKER_02:Oh no, that wasn't mine.
SPEAKER_07:I was just no, that was yours too, I'm sure of it. What's yours then? Yeah, eating steak. So you both are essentially the same human being if you're if you're uh you have the same FPD for the day, eating steak tacos. Now, I like my steak tacos with onions and cilantro. Do you like yours with onions and cilantro, Ailey?
SPEAKER_03:Nope.
SPEAKER_07:Nope. How about you, Dee?
SPEAKER_03:No, because you take a bite into your taco and then you just hear crunch crunchy. Okay, but what the cilantro's aren't crunchy. But the cilantro's delicious.
SPEAKER_07:Is that the plural of cilantro? Cilantros? I don't think so. I think it's just cilak. Cilantro.
SPEAKER_03:It's definitely just cilantro. It's a little bit. What if I want it to be cilantro's?
SPEAKER_07:That's fine. So I think actually the plural of cilantro is cilantry.
SPEAKER_02:No, no. Yep. You're wrong.
SPEAKER_07:Okay, so you both love steak tacos, and you both want your steak tacos without onions and cilantro. And you both said it at the same time, you are the same person. This is amazing. I love this now.
SPEAKER_03:I found my new twin.
SPEAKER_07:You guys are basically twins. You know that you're not.
SPEAKER_03:You might be five years younger than me. That I've never found what? Oh, wait, I never had one.
SPEAKER_02:What? That that's pretty smooth, D. It's pretty smooth. All right, so he's not my twin.

SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_07:No? I'm trying to think of a parallel, like something that would prove that that is exactly what we're doing. Like, you eat by actually eating, right?
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_07:You get up by actually getting up. But you don't go to sleep by going to sleep. You go to sleep by pretending to be asleep.

SPEAKER_03:Um?
SPEAKER_07:Tamarian, do you have an answer?
SPEAKER_03:False.
SPEAKER_07:Now you did not say true. Okay, so listen, here's I want to explain this one a little bit. Now, when we say Thanksgiving, we think of the holiday with the turkey and all that. It's not exactly like that. Okay, so the Israelites brought Thanksgiving offerings to the house of God each year. Part of the offering was given as a sacrifice on the altar. The rest was cooked by the priest and eaten and shared. And uh it symbolized, it was a way of thanking God and sharing his blessing with others. That's found in Leviticus. So yeah, Thanksgiving is all the way back there, kind of. Not the Thanksgiving we think of, but there you go. All right, number five, Demarion. The psalmist wrote in Psalm 136, give thanks to the Lord, for he is what? He is good. He is good!
SPEAKER_03:What'd you write?
SPEAKER_07:Did you write anything?
SPEAKER_03:No, he did write something.
SPEAKER_07:No, he wrote something. There's a word.
SPEAKER_01:Question. No, you did not. I did too. Oh, I saw the word underneath that.
SPEAKER_07:But he got it right. When it counted, he got it right. We have another new segment for you right now.
unknown:This verse is different.
SPEAKER_03:This verse hits different.
SPEAKER_07:This verse, it's different.
SPEAKER_02:Okay. Our verse for today is found in John 16, 33. It says, I have said these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take cart, I have overcome the world.
SPEAKER_07:It's a pretty good verse. It's a really good verse. What about that verse hits different? Hold on, should we get Demarian's take on it real fast?
SPEAKER_02:What's your take, Yachting boy?
SPEAKER_07:That's Demarion's take on it. Alright. Damari, do you got any other words for us?
SPEAKER_03:No, I have no idea.
SPEAKER_07:Alright, Ailey. This verse hits different. Why?
SPEAKER_02:Because I love that it admits that God never says that our path in the world would be easy. He never said that it's gonna be all kittens and puppies. But he did say that in him we can find peace. He's already overcome the battle for us, so we don't have to fight at all. And yeah.
SPEAKER_07:I love that. I do have one question. What would life look like if it was all kittens and puppies?
SPEAKER_02:Um, there would probably be like a bunch of dog poop.
SPEAKER_07:Demarion. Would you prefer your life to be all kittens or all puppies?
SPEAKER_02:Both.
SPEAKER_07:Both? You would like you would like a life that is all kittens and puppies.
SPEAKER_02:I think you still have to. It's time for round two! Okay.
SPEAKER_07:Alright. It's time for round two. What ruler praised God, gave thanks to God for saving Daniel from the lion's den? What ruler praised God for saving Daniel from the lion's den? Number two. The Hebrew people were in captivity for many years, and their temple had been destroyed. When the temple was rebuilt, who shouted for joy? This is a hard one. This is a tough one. It's nuanced. Who shouted for joy when the temple was rebuilt? Question number two. Question number three. At one time Jesus healed ten lepers. How many lepers returned to give Jesus thanks? How many lepers returned to give Jesus thanks? Number four. When the Apostle Paul wrote to churches, who did he give thanks for? This is a multiple choice. A. His mom. B. His fellow saints and Christians. C, his dog. Or D. Titus and Luke. Yes. Number nine. When the Apostle Paul wrote to churches, who did he give thanks for? A. His mom. B, his fellow saints and Christians. C, his dog, or D. His roles of papyrus.
SPEAKER_02:Excuse me?
SPEAKER_07:Number five. How did Paul tell the church in Philippi to pray in Philippians 4 6? This again a multiple choice. A. Pray and be thankful once a year. B. Do not worry about anything. Present your needs with thanksgiving to God. C. Tell your neighbor to pray and thank God more for them. Or D. Thank God only for the big things.
SPEAKER_00:What wasn't it A?
SPEAKER_07:Pray and be thankful once a year. Do not worry about anything. Present your needs with thanksgiving to God. Alright, here we go. It's time for the answers. Answer's threat to. What ruler praised God for saving Daniel from the lion's den? D.
SPEAKER_03:Uh never can.
SPEAKER_07:Alright, Ailey, what you got for me?
SPEAKER_02:King Darius.
SPEAKER_07:King Darius is correct. Alright, number two. The Hebrews were in captivity for many years, and their temple had been destroyed. When the temple was rebuilt, who shouted for joy? This is a hard one. This is nuanced. You have to help me out here. Who shouted for joy, Ailey?
SPEAKER_02:Um, I have no idea. I put Ezra and Nehemiah. I think they did.
SPEAKER_07:I'm gonna give you a I'm gonna give you one of those. That's not the right answer, but I'll give you that anyway. Alright, so this is a hard one. You have an answer over there?
SPEAKER_03:No.
SPEAKER_07:No, this is a hard one. All right, so when they rebuilt the temple, it says that in Ezra that the young men shouted for joy. The young men, hold on, there's there's a reason for it. The young men shouted for joy, but the old men cried. Any thoughts on why that might be? Yes, Demarion.
SPEAKER_03:Because they're old and their backs hurt. And also because they had to do all that work. Also, because they had to do all that work. Because the temple and their made their backs hurt.
SPEAKER_07:That's a great guess. That is not the right answer.
SPEAKER_03:Also, because they had to do all that work. Their bones are frail.
SPEAKER_07:It's a fantastic guess.
SPEAKER_03:My bones are frail, too.
SPEAKER_07:That is not the right answer, though. Okay, so the old men cried. Why, Ailey?
SPEAKER_02:Um because the temple of their childhood was gone.
SPEAKER_07:Kind of, yes. So the old men cried because they had seen the first temple. And the first temple was so much bigger and better than the second temple. So for the young men, they were like, yes, we did it. We rebuilt the temple. The old men were like, yeah, we rebuilt the temple, but it's nothing compared to what the old temple was. So the young men cheered and they thanked God, and they should have thanked God, but the old men, they actually they actually cried about it. Um not because they were old and their ear their bones were frail, Demarion. Okay, Demarian, at one time Jesus healed ten lepers. How many of those lepers returned to Jesus to give thanks? D.
SPEAKER_03:One.
SPEAKER_07:One is correct. So my question to you is do you think that you would have turned around to tell Jesus, thank you, Demarion? If if if you were healed from leprosy, or let's say you had a bad back because you were old and God healed you of that, would you have turned around and come back to Jesus to say thank you?
SPEAKER_03:What time was it?
SPEAKER_07:3 p.m. I don't know. What is that? What do you mean?
SPEAKER_03:1860s, 1920s.
SPEAKER_07:This was Bible times. So this was like AD like 30.
SPEAKER_03:Would it still be AD 30?
unknown:Oh my word.
SPEAKER_07:I don't understand your question.
SPEAKER_03:Because if it was not AD 30, I probably would have read this story already. And most likely, yes. If it was AD 30, I would probably be one of the people who just walked off and went on with their life.
SPEAKER_02:That's great.
SPEAKER_07:That's great, folks. It's being honest. So in other words, you're saying if you had read this story and you realized, oh, I should turn around and say thank you, then you would have done it. But if you had never read this story, then you might not have done it because you might have just run off.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Now I've got to go.
SPEAKER_07:I don't even know what to do with this. Okay. So the next question. When the apostle Paul wrote to churches, who did he give thanks for? This is a weird question. So just what do you write? What'd you write, Ailey?
SPEAKER_02:Wait, which one is this? Is this four or five?
SPEAKER_07:Four. Which one do you who did Paul give thanks for?
SPEAKER_02:Um, fellow believers in saints?
SPEAKER_07:Yes, absolutely correct. Absolutely correct. And number 10, how did Paul tell the church in Philippi to pray in Philippians 4 6, Demarion? Did he say, pray once a year and only give thanks then?
SPEAKER_03:I put B because it was questionable.
SPEAKER_07:Yes, B was the correct answer. It was give thanks in all things at all the time, all the time, right? And always rejoice in God. All right. All right, today we're gonna do one final round. We call this the lightning round, and this one is a contest. You have to buzz in by activating your buzzer, and when I call on you, you're going to answer the question. You have to be the first one to activate your buzzer because this is the lightning round. So, contestants, are you ready?
SPEAKER_03:Sure. Yep.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_07:Why? Well, okay.
unknown:Wow.
SPEAKER_07:I give all that energy, and you guys give me sure. Why not?
SPEAKER_02:Verbal irony.
SPEAKER_07:No. All right, here we go. Activate your buzzer when you think you know the answer. These are not Thanksgiving related, these are just Bible related. Who were the three sons of Noah? Demorion!
SPEAKER_03:Never mind, I don't know it.
SPEAKER_07:Ailey.
SPEAKER_02:Shem, Ham, and J Path.
SPEAKER_07:That is absolutely correct. Shem, Ham and Japh. Point to Ailey. Question number two. How did God judge the people who built the Tower of Babel?
SPEAKER_03:Demorion. They changed his like their languages.
SPEAKER_07:They changed his language.
SPEAKER_03:He changed their languages.
SPEAKER_07:He changed their languages. That is absolutely correct. Alright, that means the score in the lightning round is one to one. This is our final question. Who was Abraham's nephew? Demarian.
SPEAKER_03:The white.
SPEAKER_07:Alright. Ailey, if you if you get the answer correct, you win the lightning round. Who was Abraham's nephew? Lot. Lot is absolutely correct. Alright, folks.
