00:00Good morning, friends! I'm so glad to see you. If you're joining us for the first time, I'm Maggie, and this is my market, where I help people find impossible things. It's almost time to open the shop, so we should sing our song. Sing along with me.
00:30I'm so excited to start this brand new day. Billy messaged me last night saying he needed some help with something, so I'm expecting him any minute.
00:58Maggie, Maggie, we really need your help. Right on cue. And just who might we be? Oh, right, sorry. This is my little sister, Monique.
01:09Oh, hi. I see. Well, it's so nice to finally meet you, Monique. I've heard great things. So, what can I help you with?
01:22Well, I actually don't really think... She needs a calculator. A really good one. She has a big math test coming up, so she needs one that can help her study.
01:33Okay. Hey, don't you have a calculator on your phone?
01:37I don't have a phone.
01:39Didn't have a phone until I gave you my old one so you can have a calculator.
01:44Still, I wish I had a phone of my own.
01:48The point is, this isn't just any old math test. She's taking a high school placement test.
01:56Mo is so good at math, she's already taking high school math. So, you need to be really careful.
02:03Billy thinks that if I have the world's most powerful calculator, that it'll help me.
02:08Well, it certainly couldn't hurt you.
02:12Hmm. Careful. You know what? I think I actually know what we need.
02:19Really? What?
02:20I once met a doctor who lived in a tiny secluded village full of accountants, where they make the most accurate calculators in the entire world.
02:31What makes them so accurate?
02:33Well, these calculators quadruple check math equations 12 times before they give an answer, and they show you their work.
02:42They're actually called careful calculators.
02:46Yes! This is exactly what we need! Please order us one.
02:52Okay. Order us one.
02:54But they sound like they'd take forever to use.
02:57Well, I would. But they don't have an online shop.
03:04We're going to have to go pick it up in person.
03:07Their village is above the Arctic Circle, hidden deep within the ice caves of some pretty treacherous mountains.
03:16Mmm. It's a very dangerous trip.
03:20Say what now?
03:20Oh. They really only make them for themselves, and that's where they feel they do their best work.
03:26Really? Well, the more I think about it, we should really go on this adventure.
03:33I mean, this calculator sounds really useful.
03:37Well, hold on now. How dangerous are we talking?
03:42Come on, big brother. You're always so worried about everything.
03:47Hey. The math test, treacherous mountains.
03:52Well, yeah, but you hear yourself, right?
03:56Billy, please.
03:59But you didn't even want the calculator.
04:01But this adventure's not really fun.
04:04Can you please be brave?
04:05Or me, please?
04:10We'll be careful.
04:11Oh, okay.
04:16Woo! Let's go!
04:18Oh, Monique.
04:19The garage is this way.
04:20Got it.
04:21Yep.
04:22Hello.
04:23Hey, Maggie.
04:36Remind me to get some hearty hot chocolate on the way back to the market.
04:41Good idea, Billy.
04:48What was that?
04:49What's going on? Is something wrong?
04:51Billy, you're such a worrywart.
04:53No, no problem.
04:55Just the system warning us of a chasm up ahead.
04:58What? A chasm?
05:00How are we supposed to get across?
05:08It's fine, Billy.
05:09We may be able to jump it.
05:11We just need to get out and do a little survey to make sure the turbo boost can get us all the way across.
05:17Wait, wait, wait.
05:17A turbo boost?
05:19You want us to jump that?
05:21Okay, okay.
05:22Maybe this was a mistake.
05:24Monique, you can just use the calculator on your phone.
05:27Maggie, let's turn around.
05:29It's fine, Billy.
05:30I just need to measure the distance.
05:32Good enough for me.
05:33Let's go for it.
05:35Woo!
05:35Woo!
05:35Woo!
05:36Woo!
05:36Woo!
05:36Woo!
05:37Woo!
05:37Woo!
05:37Woo!
05:37Woo!
05:37Woo!
05:38Woo!
05:38Woo!
05:38Woo!
05:38Woo!
05:40Woo!
05:41Woo!
05:41Woo!
05:42Woo!
05:42Woo!
05:43Woo!
05:43Woo!
05:45Woo!
05:45Woo!
05:45Woo!
05:45Woo!
05:46Woo!
05:46Woo!
05:47Woo!
05:47Woo!
05:48Woo!
05:48Woo!
05:48Woo!
05:52Oh, yeah.
05:53That was awesome!
05:56Monique, what were you thinking?
06:00I was thinking that you're always so worried about every little thing, and that you can afford
06:05to take a chance every once in a while.
06:08I mean, doesn't God want us to be brave?
06:12I know he doesn't want us to be afraid all the time.
06:14I mean, what you did was incredibly reckless.
06:21You need to trust me to be the leader.
06:24You're right that God wants us to be brave, but he also wants us to be wise.
06:31That could have been a lot worse.
06:34Well, it's a little worse.
06:37Look at the bobsled.
06:38Look at the bobsled.
06:39It's kaput.
06:40It's kaput.
06:41I'm sorry, but, um, isn't that what insurance is for?
06:45Well, the caves are just up ahead.
06:53Not too far.
06:55We can get there on foot.
06:57Don't be afraid.
07:00Be brave.
07:16There's the maze that will take us straight to the village.
07:20Well, if we can find the right path.
07:22We can split up and keep in touch with these walkie-talkies.
07:29And please, be careful.
07:31I'm always careful.
07:36Um, Maggie.
07:38Do you mind if we just, you know, stick together?
07:41Sure thing, Billy.
07:41Shh.
07:49Maggie, do you think I'm a worry-worn?
07:53What?
07:54Oh, I wouldn't say that about anyone.
07:56Why do you ask?
08:00It's just, it's Monique.
08:03She's younger than I am, but she's also a lot braver than I am.
08:07I just feel so silly because she was a better student than I ever was,
08:12and she's just so brave.
08:13I don't think she's afraid of anything.
08:17I guess I just feel a little jealous because I'm the big brother.
08:20Aren't I supposed to know more about these things?
08:23But I just feel like a big, dumb, scaredy cat.
08:30Billy, I know you may worry more than other people sometimes,
08:33but you're also really careful.
08:35And that's a good thing.
08:37It's not that Monique is better.
08:39It's just that you're really different in great ways.
08:43In fact, I've got a really good Bible verse.
08:45Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
08:46Did you say Bible verse?
08:48Oh, Bible verse.
08:521 Corinthians 12, 18 says,
08:55God has placed each part in the body just as he wanted it to be.
08:59But what does this have to do with bodies?
09:02Hmm.
09:03If your whole body was an eye, how would you hear?
09:07You wouldn't, I guess.
09:08Right.
09:09We need eyes and ears and hands and legs.
09:12And in that same way,
09:13it's good that your family has a Monique who's special in her ways.
09:17But they are really blessed to have a Billy, too.
09:21Monique may excel at being brave and smart,
09:23but you, my friend, excel at being thoughtful and wise.
09:28It's wonderful that you take a step back
09:31and evaluate things before rushing in.
09:34Careful calculation is good.
09:37I guess that is kind of cool.
09:39Let's do the Bible verse again.
09:42I want to make sure it really sinks in, okay?
09:44Will you say it with me?
09:45Sure.
09:45And you friends at home, you can say it with us, too, okay?
09:48Here we go.
09:50Bible verse.
09:51God has placed each part in the body just as he wanted it to be.
10:00Canary and Jaybird.
10:02Cubs and Canary and Jaybird.
10:05This is Raven.
10:06Over.
10:07Did we say we were using code names?
10:10Monique, did you find something?
10:12I found the door to the village.
10:15Just follow the arrows.
10:18Arrows.
10:19Copy, Raven.
10:20Over.
10:22It does sound cool.
10:27Arrows.
10:32Ta-da!
10:33Seriously?
10:40Another chasm?
10:43I think we can make it if we jump.
10:46Are you serious?
10:47Again?
10:48Monique, I really don't think that's a good idea.
10:51But this one's not as big or as deep as the other one.
10:55But we also don't have a vehicle this time.
10:58Even if you did fall, it wouldn't be that bad.
11:02And you won't.
11:03All right, look.
11:04The only way that we can get there safely is if we go back the way we came.
11:09I'm going to try it.
11:17Monique, don't go!
11:19Monique, don't!
11:22No!
11:25Help!
11:26Monique, are you okay?
11:28Help!
11:29It hurts so bad!
11:38You stay with Monique.
11:40I'm going to look for help.
11:41Oh, by yourself?
11:45Wise and brave.
11:47I like it.
11:49Monique, hang on!
11:50We're coming!
11:50Where am I?
12:00She's awake.
12:04You thought we were going to an ice village.
12:07Oh, you are in the village.
12:09We just decorated it so it wouldn't feel so cold.
12:13Your brother went back and found the safe way around.
12:16All by himself.
12:18Really?
12:19That's amazing.
12:21Hey, I would do anything for you, sis.
12:23Especially if it's wise.
12:26Billy, Maggie, I'm sorry I got us into this mess.
12:32I've been acting like a fool all day and calling it bravery.
12:37From now on, I'm going to make some more careful calculations before I leap.
12:42Just like my big brother.
12:45Speaking of calculations,
12:46I did get what we came for.
12:49The calculator!
12:51Thanks, Maggie.
12:53And thank you for helping me, Doc.
12:55Oh, please.
12:56Highlight of my ear.
12:58Nobody ever does anything dangerous around here.
13:01So it can get pretty boring for a doctor.
13:04But how are we going to get home?
13:07I mean, are bobsleds totaled?
13:09Well, there is a shuttle that takes you straight to the airport in Oslo.
13:14Sounds cold.
13:16We can chant the new things we've learned about being wise and brave to stay warm.
13:20Because we need both.
13:22Hey, you're a quick study, sis.
13:24Wise and brave.
13:29Wise and brave.
13:31To find some balance, you could do the math.
13:36If we're using fractions, we could call a half.
13:41To use percentages, it's 50-50.
13:44But however you think about it...
13:46Being wise and brave is nifty-nifty.
13:50Oh, wise and brave is the way to be.
13:55Life's no fun if you never get off your seat.
13:59But remember to look both ways when you cross the street.
14:04Oh, wise and brave is the way to be.
14:10Wise and brave.
14:12Wise and brave.
14:14Wise and brave.
14:17Wise and brave.
14:19The mountaintop is worth a climb.
14:24The view is always so divine.
14:29But when we're adventuring, we prep.
14:33And always take the time to watch our steps.
14:38Oh, wise and brave is the way to be.
14:43Life's no fun if you never get off your seat.
14:47To look both ways when you cross the street.
14:52Oh, wise and brave is the way to be.
14:57Wise and brave is the way to be.
15:02Okay, so we want to be wise and brave.
15:07Well, what about jumping in the water with a great white shark?
15:12Brave.
15:12But what if I brought him his favorite treat, a pizza?
15:17Wise.
15:18Do sharks even like pizza?
15:20Well, this one does.
15:21Okay.
15:22So what about looking both ways before you cross the street?
15:26Wise.
15:27Wise.
15:28While wearing a bird feeder on your head, even though you're really afraid of pigeons.
15:32Brave.
15:33Okay.
15:34Okay.
15:34You guys get it.
15:36Wise and brave.
15:37We need them both.
15:39Wise and brave is the way to be.
15:43Wise and brave is the way to be.
15:49What a day.
15:56I took Billy's idea about hearty hot chocolate.
16:01Don't worry.
16:02I haven't brushed my teeth yet.
16:10Let's pray.
16:13Thank you, Lord, for this day.
16:19With all your blessings filled.
16:24As I rest, restore my strength, that I may do your will.
16:39Amen.
16:47Before we go to sleep, I wanted to talk about what was real today and what was pretend.
16:52High school placement tests?
16:57Real.
17:00Bobsleds with turbo boosters?
17:04Pretend.
17:06Ice cave accountants who make precision calculators?
17:10Pretend.
17:15Feeling sad because you're not as brave as someone else?
17:21Real.
17:23Wisdom from God?
17:25Even more real.
17:29Today reminded me of something super important.
17:33Even on days when we get frustrated or fight with our brothers and sisters and make bad decisions,
17:42God still loves us.
17:44God still loves us.
17:48He loves us no matter what.
17:55Thanks for coming with us today on our adventure.
17:58Come back soon so we can go on another and help someone else.
18:02But maybe it'll be a little less chilly next time.
18:08Have a good night.
18:10I'm gonna go brush my teeth.
