This story is about Gideon, a reluctant hero, who is called on by an angel, to stand up against idol worship and to defend his people against attacks by the Midianites.

With the help of the Teen Pack, Gideon destroys an idol statue and thereby provokes the wrath of Molokee, the local idol priestess, and her people.

Gideon’s father and sister stand up for him while his brother gives in to fear.

“But those Bible stories happened thousands of years ago...”

“It all depends on how you see time, in God's realm a thousand years is like one day”
Joshua, from the Teen Pack, is beamed into the story by Rafael, the storyteller and lighthouse keeper.
In this episode, he plays the boy next door, Gideon’s side-kick.
