July 18, 2025·10 min·1 clip

Tears stream down Mary's face as the rich fragrance fills the room—not from sadness, but from a heart overflowing with love for Jesus.

A father uses the Biblical story of Mary anointing Jesus with expensive perfume to teach his young children about sacrificial giving, value, and honoring God with our most precious possessions. Through storytelling and interactive discussion, the episode explores why Mary's act was controversial yet beautiful, connecting ancient currency (perfume) to modern financial lessons for kids.
