Who Is St. Joan of Arc For Kids? (Voices From Heaven Bedtime Story)
In this Juice Box episode, kids listen to “Voices From Heaven,” a Saint Joan of Arc story for kids, and build a LEGO castle while they learn how faith and courage can look strong, even in a scary moment.
St. Joan of Arc for Kids: “Voices From Heaven” Story
“Voices From Heaven” is a catholic bedtime story episode about Joan of Arc, a young girl who said she received a message from God and believed she was called to speak to a king when her country was in trouble.
Joan is brought into a castle, surrounded by knights, questioned by King Charles, and doubted by the adults around her. She stays calm, tells the truth as she understands it, and keeps pointing back to God, even when people accuse her of trickery.
Joan is tested again by Church authorities. After a serious examination by theologians, nothing was found to disapprove, and she is allowed to help the king’s mission.
Then comes a powerful moment for kids: Joan asks for the chance to help, she asks the king for soldiers so she can lead in the relief of Orleans, showing courage rooted in faith, not anger.
For kids, St. Joan of Arc shows you don’t have to be loud or fearless to be courageous. You can be honest, faithful, and steady when others doubt you, and God can use your “yes” to change everything.
Key Takeaways
- St. Joan of Arc is a real Catholic saint. This “Voices From Heaven” story shows how her mission began when she was still young, after she said she began experiencing supernatural voices that led her on her path.
- Joan walks into a castle feeling nervous and out of place, but she keeps going because she believes God is guiding her.
- King Charles and his court doubt her, but Joan stays calm and truthful under pressure.
- Joan’s faith was examined, and Church authorities (theologians at Poitiers) found nothing to disapprove. Teaching kids that truth can stand strong even when adults test you.
- Joan chooses a brave path without chasing violence for her own sake. She asks for soldiers to help relieve Orleans, showing courage that aims to serve her people.
- The moral is simple: God can call kids to big goodness, too, and real strength looks like faith, honesty, and doing the next right thing.
Episode Summary
“Voices From Heaven” drops kids into a tense moment right away: Joan is being escorted toward a castle while everything around her feels unfamiliar. She feels unlike herself, unsure of what will happen next, and the stakes feel huge because she believes God is calling her to help.
Inside the castle, Joan is brought before King Charles. The king tests her, questions her, and watches her closely, while others in the court accuse her of trickery and doubt her. Joan doesn’t lash out or try to impress anyone. She simply stays steady and speaks as she truly believes.
To be sure she is the real thing, Joan is sent to be examined more deeply by Church authorities. After a long, careful examination, the theologians find nothing to disapprove and advise the king to make prudent use of her help.
Then comes an important lesson moment for kids: Joan asks not just for attention, but for a way to serve. She asks the king for soldiers so she can lead in the relief of Orleans, showing that her courage is rooted in faith and truth, not anger.
While kids build a LEGO castle alongside the story, they get a clear picture of what’s happening and a strong lesson they can carry into their own lives: when God seems to ask something brave, you can still be respectful, honest, and steady.

[00:00:00 --> 00:00:01] (lively music)
[00:00:01 --> 00:00:03] Today's story is about a girl, a king,
[00:00:03 --> 00:00:07] and a message from God that changed everything.
[00:00:07 --> 00:00:09] Her name was Joan of Arc.
[00:00:09 --> 00:00:10] While we listened to the story,
[00:00:10 --> 00:00:13] let's build a Lego castle together.
[00:00:13 --> 00:00:14] Let's go.
[00:00:14 --> 00:00:15] "JUICEBOX."
[00:00:15 --> 00:00:16] (logo pops)
[00:00:16 --> 00:00:17] (child giggles)
[00:00:17 --> 00:00:21] (gentle mysterious music)
[00:00:29 --> 00:00:33] Once upon a time, there was a girl named Joan.
[00:00:33 --> 00:00:35] She lived in France.
[00:00:35 --> 00:00:39] She felt very unlike herself as she was being walked
[00:00:39 --> 00:00:43] towards the castle surrounded by men in shining armor.
[00:00:44 --> 00:00:47] She wondered what would happen once she got inside.
[00:00:47 --> 00:00:51] She was just a girl from a small town.
[00:00:51 --> 00:00:54] But now, she had to go before the king
[00:00:54 --> 00:00:56] to give him a message from God.
[00:00:57 --> 00:01:00] She tugged at the pants she was wearing.
[00:01:00 --> 00:01:03] She wasn't used to wearing boys clothes,
[00:01:03 --> 00:01:06] but she had to make this mission in disguise.
[00:01:07 --> 00:01:10] She adjusted her hat to make sure it was straight.
[00:01:10 --> 00:01:15] As they approached the castle door, the knight stopped.
[00:01:15 --> 00:01:20] They all pivoted and stood in perfect formation.
[00:01:20 --> 00:01:23] The knight closest to the door raised his right arm
[00:01:23 --> 00:01:26] and placed his hand on the castle door.
[00:01:26 --> 00:01:31] He formally, ceremoniously opened the door revealing the
[00:01:31 --> 00:01:32] interior of the castle.
[00:01:34 --> 00:01:36] Joan's stomach dropped.
[00:01:36 --> 00:01:38] When the voices had asked her
[00:01:38 --> 00:01:40] to leave home to deliver a message,
[00:01:40 --> 00:01:43] she never thought she would have to deliver it straight
[00:01:43 --> 00:01:46] to the king himself.
[00:01:46 --> 00:01:49] Joan looked up at the enormous ceiling.
[00:01:49 --> 00:01:50] Her whole house could have fit
[00:01:50 --> 00:01:54] inside the castle entrance four times.
[00:01:55 --> 00:01:59] The knights continued escorting Joan down the long hallway.
[00:01:59 --> 00:02:03] The castle felt cold as the walls were made of light bricks
[00:02:03 --> 00:02:06] and only every other candle was lit.
[00:02:07 --> 00:02:11] Joan didn't know that a hallway could be so long.
[00:02:12 --> 00:02:13] Down the hall,
[00:02:13 --> 00:02:16] Joan saw a light pouring out of an archway leading
[00:02:16 --> 00:02:20] to another room, and the knights turned into it.
[00:02:20 --> 00:02:22] Joan took a deep breath.
[00:02:23 --> 00:02:26] She turned, walked through the archway,
[00:02:26 --> 00:02:27] and entered the room.
[00:02:27 --> 00:02:32] It was a large cavernous room that had a table in the center
[00:02:32 --> 00:02:36] and large bookshelves lining the wall on either side.
[00:02:36 --> 00:02:40] One of the knights looked at her and said, "Wait here,"
[00:02:40 --> 00:02:42] as he marched out of the room.
[00:02:43 --> 00:02:45] Joan looked around.
[00:02:45 --> 00:02:48] Hanging over her head was an ornate chandelier
[00:02:48 --> 00:02:50] with candles burning in it.
[00:02:51 --> 00:02:53] She was amazed at the bookshelves.
[00:02:53 --> 00:02:56] Joan couldn't believe there were that many books
[00:02:56 --> 00:03:00] in the whole world, let alone in one room of one castle.
[00:03:02 --> 00:03:05] Joan heard footsteps coming from down the hall.
[00:03:05 --> 00:03:07] It sounded like a lot of people.
[00:03:07 --> 00:03:12] She closed her eyes, breathed in and out,
[00:03:12 --> 00:03:14] and prayed to the Holy Spirit for help.
[00:03:15 --> 00:03:18] She opened her eyes as she heard a flood
[00:03:18 --> 00:03:21] of people fill the room, led by the knight.
[00:03:22 --> 00:03:25] The king's entire court was present,
[00:03:25 --> 00:03:27] but the king did not appear to be there.
[00:03:27 --> 00:03:30] The knight looked down at Joan and said,
[00:03:30 --> 00:03:33] "The king is occupied with another matter."
[00:03:33 --> 00:03:35] He will join us when he is able."
[00:03:36 --> 00:03:38] Joan respectfully nodded.
[00:03:38 --> 00:03:40] As she looked back at the court of men,
[00:03:40 --> 00:03:42] she spotted the king.
[00:03:42 --> 00:03:45] He was not dressed like she expected
[00:03:45 --> 00:03:48] as he looked just like the other men.
[00:03:48 --> 00:03:52] She walked right up close to him, bowed and said,
[00:03:52 --> 00:03:55] "God give you a happy life, sweet king."
[00:03:55 --> 00:03:58] The knight said, "That is not the king.
[00:03:58 --> 00:04:00] I already told you that the king was occupied
[00:04:00 --> 00:04:01] with another matter."
[00:04:02 --> 00:04:06] Joan looked up at the man to whom she was bowing.
[00:04:06 --> 00:04:08] The man locked eyes with her.
[00:04:08 --> 00:04:12] He extended his hand and said, "And you as well."
[00:04:12 --> 00:04:14] As he helped Joan up,
[00:04:14 --> 00:04:18] the other men in his court looked at King Charles perplexed.
[00:04:18 --> 00:04:20] King Charles said to Joan,
[00:04:20 --> 00:04:23] "I'm amazed that you recognized me."
[00:04:23 --> 00:04:28] Joan did not know how to respond, so she simply smiled.
[00:04:28 --> 00:04:31] The king began to walk in circles around Joan.
[00:04:31 --> 00:04:34] "I've heard quite a lot about you," he said.
[00:04:34 --> 00:04:38] "Is it true that you've heard voices from heaven?"
[00:04:38 --> 00:04:40] Joan nodded her head.
[00:04:40 --> 00:04:44] King Charles said, "I must say I was quite astonished
[00:04:44 --> 00:04:46] by what happened regarding Orleans.
[00:04:47 --> 00:04:49] You predicted the French would be defeated,
[00:04:49 --> 00:04:53] and two days before it actually occurred."
[00:04:53 --> 00:04:57] Joan responded, "I'm only saying what I have received."
[00:04:57 --> 00:05:00] Joan was interrupted by a man in the king's court
[00:05:00 --> 00:05:05] who yelled, "King Charles, this child is clearly involved
[00:05:05 --> 00:05:08] in some kind of sorcery or witchcraft.
[00:05:08 --> 00:05:09] She can't be trusted."
[00:05:10 --> 00:05:14] King Charles looked at Joan very carefully.
[00:05:14 --> 00:05:16] He looked back at the men in his court.
[00:05:16 --> 00:05:19] "Leave us for a moment," he said.
[00:05:19 --> 00:05:23] King Charles interrupted the men in his court.
[00:05:23 --> 00:05:26] "I believe I had made my orders clear,"
[00:05:26 --> 00:05:29] responded King Charles very sternly.
[00:05:30 --> 00:05:32] The men in the king's court pouted
[00:05:32 --> 00:05:36] and let out deep sighs as they vacated the room
[00:05:36 --> 00:05:39] until only the knights standing guard were remaining.
[00:05:40 --> 00:05:43] "You as well," said the king.
[00:05:43 --> 00:05:45] The knights turned and exited the room.
[00:05:47 --> 00:05:51] The men in the king's court stood outside the room,
[00:05:51 --> 00:05:54] pacing in anger and disbelief.
[00:05:54 --> 00:05:57] "I can't believe he's falling for this,"
[00:05:57 --> 00:05:58] said one of the men.
[00:05:58 --> 00:06:02] "The child can't be believed," said another.
[00:06:03 --> 00:06:06] The men stood outside the room for a long time
[00:06:06 --> 00:06:09] until King Charles came out and joined them.
[00:06:09 --> 00:06:13] The men stood in silence, waiting for King Charles to speak.
[00:06:14 --> 00:06:18] "I find no fault in her," he said.
[00:06:18 --> 00:06:21] And I believe her to be telling the truth.
[00:06:21 --> 00:06:25] The men began to protest as King Charles interrupted,
[00:06:25 --> 00:06:28] "But I will have her sent to Poitiers
[00:06:28 --> 00:06:29] for further questioning."
[00:06:31 --> 00:06:35] So King Charles had Joan sent away in a carriage
[00:06:35 --> 00:06:37] to a small town called Poitiers.
[00:06:38 --> 00:06:40] When the carriage arrived,
[00:06:40 --> 00:06:43] it stopped in front of a much smaller castle
[00:06:43 --> 00:06:46] where she was taken inside.
[00:06:46 --> 00:06:50] A knight guided her down a long hallway to a large door.
[00:06:52 --> 00:06:55] Joan could hear the murmur of voices on the other side.
[00:06:55 --> 00:06:57] The knight looked at Joan.
[00:06:57 --> 00:07:00] She nodded, and he opened the door.
[00:07:01 --> 00:07:03] Joan stepped into a large corridor
[00:07:03 --> 00:07:07] which was filled with men seated behind large tables.
[00:07:08 --> 00:07:09] Many of them were priests
[00:07:09 --> 00:07:13] and others looked to be very educated scholars.
[00:07:13 --> 00:07:16] They all stopped talking and looked at Joan
[00:07:16 --> 00:07:18] as she entered the room.
[00:07:18 --> 00:07:20] A man at the table in the front
[00:07:20 --> 00:07:25] and center stood up and said, "Let the proceedings begin."
[00:07:25 --> 00:07:29] Joan felt a lump in her throat as she swallowed.
[00:07:29 --> 00:07:33] The man continued, "Are you the child who claims
[00:07:33 --> 00:07:36] to be hearing voices from heaven?"
[00:07:36 --> 00:07:39] Joan nodded her head and said, "Yes."
[00:07:39 --> 00:07:43] The man said, "There are accounts against you for heresy,
[00:07:43 --> 00:07:46] suggesting that you are involved in sorcery
[00:07:46 --> 00:07:49] yet claiming divine inspiration.
[00:07:49 --> 00:07:53] What defense would you make for yourself?"
[00:07:53 --> 00:07:54] Joan was nervous.
[00:07:54 --> 00:07:58] She opened her mouth to speak, but stuttered a bit.
[00:07:58 --> 00:08:01] The man interrupted, "Allow me to clarify
[00:08:01 --> 00:08:04] how grave of a matter this is.
[00:08:04 --> 00:08:09] Heresy is punishable by death, so I suggest you cooperate."
[00:08:09 --> 00:08:12] Joan could hardly remember anything
[00:08:12 --> 00:08:14] that happened in the room after that.
[00:08:14 --> 00:08:16] She was asked so many questions
[00:08:16 --> 00:08:20] that she almost lost her voice from talking too much.
[00:08:20 --> 00:08:21] After they had questioned her,
[00:08:21 --> 00:08:23] the men sent her out of the room
[00:08:23 --> 00:08:26] while they met privately to discuss.
[00:08:26 --> 00:08:29] As the knight opened the door for Joan to exit,
[00:08:29 --> 00:08:33] he pointed his arm towards a chair he had set out for her.
[00:08:35 --> 00:08:36] She sat down.
[00:08:36 --> 00:08:39] The knight handed her a cup of water.
[00:08:39 --> 00:08:42] She nodded as she took the cup and sipped the water.
[00:08:42 --> 00:08:45] Joan wanted very much to go to sleep.
[00:08:45 --> 00:08:48] She was so tired and hungry from standing
[00:08:48 --> 00:08:51] and answering questions for hours.
[00:08:51 --> 00:08:54] After a long time of sitting in the hallway,
[00:08:54 --> 00:08:57] the man who had questioned her opened the door and said,
[00:08:57 --> 00:08:59] "Please enter."
[00:09:00 --> 00:09:02] The knight escorted Joan into the room
[00:09:02 --> 00:09:04] and she stood before the men once more.
[00:09:05 --> 00:09:08] The man stood in the center of the room and said,
[00:09:09 --> 00:09:11] "Let the verdict declare
[00:09:11 --> 00:09:14] that we find nothing heretical in the child.
[00:09:14 --> 00:09:15] The court has determined
[00:09:15 --> 00:09:19] that the child may be safely employed for military purposes
[00:09:19 --> 00:09:24] and does not pose any threat to the king's military efforts.
[00:09:24 --> 00:09:27] Let the records show that the child was found
[00:09:27 --> 00:09:30] to be one of faith and not of malice."
[00:09:30 --> 00:09:32] Joan was released from the room
[00:09:32 --> 00:09:35] in a very formal and distant manner.
[00:09:35 --> 00:09:39] She was surprised that nobody spoke to her on the way out.
[00:09:39 --> 00:09:42] The knight escorted her back outside to the carriage
[00:09:42 --> 00:09:44] which started back for Chinon.
[00:09:45 --> 00:09:46] On the carriage ride,
[00:09:46 --> 00:09:50] Joan pondered the idea of serving in the king's military.
[00:09:50 --> 00:09:53] She did not want to fight anyone,
[00:09:53 --> 00:09:56] but she knew that she had a special call from God
[00:09:56 --> 00:09:57] to serve her country.
[00:09:58 --> 00:10:01] When the carriage arrived in Chinon,
[00:10:01 --> 00:10:03] King Charles greeted Joan.
[00:10:03 --> 00:10:06] King smiled and said, "Well done."
[00:10:06 --> 00:10:08] And then pulled her aside
[00:10:08 --> 00:10:11] and slowly walked with her towards a small door
[00:10:11 --> 00:10:12] in the back of the castle.
[00:10:13 --> 00:10:16] "I'm glad that the court was able to see the truth,"
[00:10:16 --> 00:10:18] he said.
[00:10:18 --> 00:10:21] Joan respectfully nodded her head.
[00:10:21 --> 00:10:23] "We'll need you in our military," he said.
[00:10:23 --> 00:10:27] "The inspiration you are receiving will guide us
[00:10:27 --> 00:10:29] in doing the Lord's will."
[00:10:29 --> 00:10:32] "I hope the Lord continues to work through me
[00:10:32 --> 00:10:34] for the good of our country," said Joan.
[00:10:36 --> 00:10:39] As they approached the small door, the king opened it.
[00:10:41 --> 00:10:42] They stepped inside.
[00:10:42 --> 00:10:46] The room was lined with swords, bows and arrows,
[00:10:46 --> 00:10:49] and all kinds of weapons intricately placed
[00:10:49 --> 00:10:52] on beautifully crafted wooden shelves.
[00:10:52 --> 00:10:54] King Charles walked up to the sword
[00:10:54 --> 00:10:57] with a shimmering blue gem in the center of the hilt,
[00:10:57 --> 00:11:02] and carefully, slowly took it down from the shelf.
[00:11:02 --> 00:11:05] "I'd like for you to have this sword," he said,
[00:11:05 --> 00:11:09] "to accompany you as you join our military efforts."
[00:11:09 --> 00:11:12] Joan's eyes widened as she looked at the sword.
[00:11:12 --> 00:11:15] She placed her hand on it.
[00:11:15 --> 00:11:19] She moved her eyes upwards towards the king and said,
[00:11:19 --> 00:11:24] "I'm honored, Your Highness, but I cannot accept it."
[00:11:24 --> 00:11:28] King Charles furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Why not?"
[00:11:28 --> 00:11:32] Joan looked at the king intently for a long moment,
[00:11:32 --> 00:11:35] wondering what he may think of what she was about to say.
[00:11:36 --> 00:11:39] "The voices from heaven," said Joan,
[00:11:39 --> 00:11:42] "they told me that there is a secret sword
[00:11:42 --> 00:11:44] that nobody knows about.
[00:11:44 --> 00:11:48] It is very ancient and I'd like for it to be uncovered."
[00:11:49 --> 00:11:53] King Charles looked Joan dead in the eyes.
[00:11:53 --> 00:11:58] Joan continued, "It is buried behind an altar."
[00:11:58 --> 00:12:01] "What altar?" asked King Charles.
[00:12:01 --> 00:12:04] "The one in the chapel of Saint Catherine of Fierbois,"
[00:12:04 --> 00:12:05] said Joan.
[00:12:05 --> 00:12:09] "Your Highness, may I request that you conduct a search
[00:12:09 --> 00:12:10] for this sword instead?"
[00:12:11 --> 00:12:14] King Charles walked around Joan in circles,
[00:12:14 --> 00:12:16] scratching his chin.
[00:12:16 --> 00:12:19] "I will call for a search," he said.
[00:12:19 --> 00:12:22] "But if it is not able to be located,
[00:12:22 --> 00:12:24] you will accept my sword or have none at all."
[00:12:25 --> 00:12:29] Joan nodded and said, "I understand, Your Highness.
[00:12:29 --> 00:12:31] Thank you."
[00:12:31 --> 00:12:34] King Charles contacted the priest stationed
[00:12:34 --> 00:12:36] at the chapel of Saint Catherine of Fierbois,
[00:12:36 --> 00:12:39] and ordered that there be a search conducted
[00:12:39 --> 00:12:40] under the altar.
[00:12:40 --> 00:12:42] King Charles waited anxiously
[00:12:42 --> 00:12:46] to see if Jones prediction would be correct.
[00:12:46 --> 00:12:49] He began to wonder if the voices she was hearing
[00:12:49 --> 00:12:51] really were from heaven.
[00:12:54 --> 00:12:57] King Charles was sitting in his cavernous study pondering
[00:12:57 --> 00:13:01] these thoughts when there was a knock on the study door.
[00:13:02 --> 00:13:04] "Enter," he said.
[00:13:04 --> 00:13:08] A knight entered the study, bowed to the king and said,
[00:13:08 --> 00:13:12] "Your Highness, the search has been completed."
[00:13:12 --> 00:13:15] "And?" interrupted King Charles.
[00:13:15 --> 00:13:17] "And the search party has found this very sword,"
[00:13:17 --> 00:13:20] said the knight as he presented the ancient sword
[00:13:20 --> 00:13:22] to the king.
[00:13:22 --> 00:13:25] King Charles' eyes grew wide in amazement.
[00:13:25 --> 00:13:30] He took the sword and said, "Thank you. You are dismissed.
[00:13:30 --> 00:13:33] Bring the child to me at once."
[00:13:33 --> 00:13:36] The king looked at the sword and pondered it,
[00:13:36 --> 00:13:40] and then gazed upward out of the steady window at the sky.
[00:13:41 --> 00:13:44] "My Lord and my God," he prayed quietly.
[00:13:45 --> 00:13:48] The knight returned to the room escorting Joan
[00:13:48 --> 00:13:51] and entered and bowed to King Charles.
[00:13:51 --> 00:13:54] The knight left the room as Joan said,
[00:13:54 --> 00:13:57] "Your Highness, how may I be of service?"
[00:13:57 --> 00:14:00] King Charles put his hand on Joan's shoulder.
[00:14:00 --> 00:14:04] "Your inspiration has proven true once more," he said.
[00:14:04 --> 00:14:07] And he presented the sword to Joan.
[00:14:07 --> 00:14:09] Joan looked upward and whispered something
[00:14:09 --> 00:14:12] that the king could not understand.
[00:14:12 --> 00:14:15] She then looked back down at the sword
[00:14:15 --> 00:14:17] and placed her hand on it.
[00:14:17 --> 00:14:21] "Glory be to the Triune God," she said.
[00:14:21 --> 00:14:24] And slowly, carefully took the sword out
[00:14:24 --> 00:14:25] of the king's hands.
[00:14:25 --> 00:14:27] "Your Highness," she said,
[00:14:27 --> 00:14:30] "I will serve my country with faith
[00:14:30 --> 00:14:32] and every virtue I can offer,
[00:14:32 --> 00:14:36] but I must insist that I not fight anybody.
[00:14:36 --> 00:14:38] Let me carry a flag instead."
[00:14:39 --> 00:14:41] The king nodded respectfully to Joan
[00:14:41 --> 00:14:42] as he called his knight to take Joan
[00:14:42 --> 00:14:44] to join the rest of the army.
[00:14:47 --> 00:14:49] As the knight entered the room,
[00:14:49 --> 00:14:51] Joan bowed the king one last time.
[00:14:53 --> 00:14:56] King Charles gave a slight smile.
[00:14:56 --> 00:14:59] Joan turned around and walked out with the knight.
[00:15:00 --> 00:15:04] King Charles offered a prayer under his breath
[00:15:04 --> 00:15:06] as he looked out the window of the study
[00:15:06 --> 00:15:08] at the army marching outside.
[00:15:08 --> 00:15:12] He saw Joan join the march at the front of the line,
[00:15:12 --> 00:15:14] holding a white flag with symbols
[00:15:14 --> 00:15:16] that he could hardly make out,
[00:15:16 --> 00:15:19] but he could see that there were lilies
[00:15:19 --> 00:15:23] and an image of Jesus holding the world in his hands
[00:15:23 --> 00:15:25] with angels on either side.
[00:15:25 --> 00:15:28] He thought to himself that Joan had the bravery
[00:15:28 --> 00:15:32] that only a child could receive from the Lord.
[00:15:32 --> 00:15:36] He could tell that she was ready to serve God no matter
[00:15:36 --> 00:15:38] what the consequences may be.
[00:15:38 --> 00:15:42] (triumphant music)
[00:15:42 --> 00:15:44] And that's the story of Joan of Arc,
[00:15:44 --> 00:15:48] a girl who trusted God one step at a time.
[00:15:48 --> 00:15:50] And hey, just like building this castle,
[00:15:50 --> 00:15:52] you don't have to see the whole plan.
[00:15:52 --> 00:15:55] You just keep going piece by piece.
[00:15:55 --> 00:15:56] Don't forget to subscribe, friends
[00:15:56 --> 00:15:58] for more "JUICEBOX" stories.
[00:15:58 --> 00:16:00] See you next time.
[00:16:00 --> 00:16:01] (logo pops)
[00:16:01 --> 00:16:02] "JUICEBOX."
[00:00:01 --> 00:00:03] Today's story is about a girl, a king,
[00:00:03 --> 00:00:07] and a message from God that changed everything.
[00:00:07 --> 00:00:09] Her name was Joan of Arc.
[00:00:09 --> 00:00:10] While we listened to the story,
[00:00:10 --> 00:00:13] let's build a Lego castle together.
[00:00:13 --> 00:00:14] Let's go.
[00:00:14 --> 00:00:15] "JUICEBOX."
[00:00:15 --> 00:00:16] (logo pops)
[00:00:16 --> 00:00:17] (child giggles)
[00:00:17 --> 00:00:21] (gentle mysterious music)
[00:00:29 --> 00:00:33] Once upon a time, there was a girl named Joan.
[00:00:33 --> 00:00:35] She lived in France.
[00:00:35 --> 00:00:39] She felt very unlike herself as she was being walked
[00:00:39 --> 00:00:43] towards the castle surrounded by men in shining armor.
[00:00:44 --> 00:00:47] She wondered what would happen once she got inside.
[00:00:47 --> 00:00:51] She was just a girl from a small town.
[00:00:51 --> 00:00:54] But now, she had to go before the king
[00:00:54 --> 00:00:56] to give him a message from God.
[00:00:57 --> 00:01:00] She tugged at the pants she was wearing.
[00:01:00 --> 00:01:03] She wasn't used to wearing boys clothes,
[00:01:03 --> 00:01:06] but she had to make this mission in disguise.
[00:01:07 --> 00:01:10] She adjusted her hat to make sure it was straight.
[00:01:10 --> 00:01:15] As they approached the castle door, the knight stopped.
[00:01:15 --> 00:01:20] They all pivoted and stood in perfect formation.
[00:01:20 --> 00:01:23] The knight closest to the door raised his right arm
[00:01:23 --> 00:01:26] and placed his hand on the castle door.
[00:01:26 --> 00:01:31] He formally, ceremoniously opened the door revealing the
[00:01:31 --> 00:01:32] interior of the castle.
[00:01:34 --> 00:01:36] Joan's stomach dropped.
[00:01:36 --> 00:01:38] When the voices had asked her
[00:01:38 --> 00:01:40] to leave home to deliver a message,
[00:01:40 --> 00:01:43] she never thought she would have to deliver it straight
[00:01:43 --> 00:01:46] to the king himself.
[00:01:46 --> 00:01:49] Joan looked up at the enormous ceiling.
[00:01:49 --> 00:01:50] Her whole house could have fit
[00:01:50 --> 00:01:54] inside the castle entrance four times.
[00:01:55 --> 00:01:59] The knights continued escorting Joan down the long hallway.
[00:01:59 --> 00:02:03] The castle felt cold as the walls were made of light bricks
[00:02:03 --> 00:02:06] and only every other candle was lit.
[00:02:07 --> 00:02:11] Joan didn't know that a hallway could be so long.
[00:02:12 --> 00:02:13] Down the hall,
[00:02:13 --> 00:02:16] Joan saw a light pouring out of an archway leading
[00:02:16 --> 00:02:20] to another room, and the knights turned into it.
[00:02:20 --> 00:02:22] Joan took a deep breath.
[00:02:23 --> 00:02:26] She turned, walked through the archway,
[00:02:26 --> 00:02:27] and entered the room.
[00:02:27 --> 00:02:32] It was a large cavernous room that had a table in the center
[00:02:32 --> 00:02:36] and large bookshelves lining the wall on either side.
[00:02:36 --> 00:02:40] One of the knights looked at her and said, "Wait here,"
[00:02:40 --> 00:02:42] as he marched out of the room.
[00:02:43 --> 00:02:45] Joan looked around.
[00:02:45 --> 00:02:48] Hanging over her head was an ornate chandelier
[00:02:48 --> 00:02:50] with candles burning in it.
[00:02:51 --> 00:02:53] She was amazed at the bookshelves.
[00:02:53 --> 00:02:56] Joan couldn't believe there were that many books
[00:02:56 --> 00:03:00] in the whole world, let alone in one room of one castle.
[00:03:02 --> 00:03:05] Joan heard footsteps coming from down the hall.
[00:03:05 --> 00:03:07] It sounded like a lot of people.
[00:03:07 --> 00:03:12] She closed her eyes, breathed in and out,
[00:03:12 --> 00:03:14] and prayed to the Holy Spirit for help.
[00:03:15 --> 00:03:18] She opened her eyes as she heard a flood
[00:03:18 --> 00:03:21] of people fill the room, led by the knight.
[00:03:22 --> 00:03:25] The king's entire court was present,
[00:03:25 --> 00:03:27] but the king did not appear to be there.
[00:03:27 --> 00:03:30] The knight looked down at Joan and said,
[00:03:30 --> 00:03:33] "The king is occupied with another matter."
[00:03:33 --> 00:03:35] He will join us when he is able."
[00:03:36 --> 00:03:38] Joan respectfully nodded.
[00:03:38 --> 00:03:40] As she looked back at the court of men,
[00:03:40 --> 00:03:42] she spotted the king.
[00:03:42 --> 00:03:45] He was not dressed like she expected
[00:03:45 --> 00:03:48] as he looked just like the other men.
[00:03:48 --> 00:03:52] She walked right up close to him, bowed and said,
[00:03:52 --> 00:03:55] "God give you a happy life, sweet king."
[00:03:55 --> 00:03:58] The knight said, "That is not the king.
[00:03:58 --> 00:04:00] I already told you that the king was occupied
[00:04:00 --> 00:04:01] with another matter."
[00:04:02 --> 00:04:06] Joan looked up at the man to whom she was bowing.
[00:04:06 --> 00:04:08] The man locked eyes with her.
[00:04:08 --> 00:04:12] He extended his hand and said, "And you as well."
[00:04:12 --> 00:04:14] As he helped Joan up,
[00:04:14 --> 00:04:18] the other men in his court looked at King Charles perplexed.
[00:04:18 --> 00:04:20] King Charles said to Joan,
[00:04:20 --> 00:04:23] "I'm amazed that you recognized me."
[00:04:23 --> 00:04:28] Joan did not know how to respond, so she simply smiled.
[00:04:28 --> 00:04:31] The king began to walk in circles around Joan.
[00:04:31 --> 00:04:34] "I've heard quite a lot about you," he said.
[00:04:34 --> 00:04:38] "Is it true that you've heard voices from heaven?"
[00:04:38 --> 00:04:40] Joan nodded her head.
[00:04:40 --> 00:04:44] King Charles said, "I must say I was quite astonished
[00:04:44 --> 00:04:46] by what happened regarding Orleans.
[00:04:47 --> 00:04:49] You predicted the French would be defeated,
[00:04:49 --> 00:04:53] and two days before it actually occurred."
[00:04:53 --> 00:04:57] Joan responded, "I'm only saying what I have received."
[00:04:57 --> 00:05:00] Joan was interrupted by a man in the king's court
[00:05:00 --> 00:05:05] who yelled, "King Charles, this child is clearly involved
[00:05:05 --> 00:05:08] in some kind of sorcery or witchcraft.
[00:05:08 --> 00:05:09] She can't be trusted."
[00:05:10 --> 00:05:14] King Charles looked at Joan very carefully.
[00:05:14 --> 00:05:16] He looked back at the men in his court.
[00:05:16 --> 00:05:19] "Leave us for a moment," he said.
[00:05:19 --> 00:05:23] King Charles interrupted the men in his court.
[00:05:23 --> 00:05:26] "I believe I had made my orders clear,"
[00:05:26 --> 00:05:29] responded King Charles very sternly.
[00:05:30 --> 00:05:32] The men in the king's court pouted
[00:05:32 --> 00:05:36] and let out deep sighs as they vacated the room
[00:05:36 --> 00:05:39] until only the knights standing guard were remaining.
[00:05:40 --> 00:05:43] "You as well," said the king.
[00:05:43 --> 00:05:45] The knights turned and exited the room.
[00:05:47 --> 00:05:51] The men in the king's court stood outside the room,
[00:05:51 --> 00:05:54] pacing in anger and disbelief.
[00:05:54 --> 00:05:57] "I can't believe he's falling for this,"
[00:05:57 --> 00:05:58] said one of the men.
[00:05:58 --> 00:06:02] "The child can't be believed," said another.
[00:06:03 --> 00:06:06] The men stood outside the room for a long time
[00:06:06 --> 00:06:09] until King Charles came out and joined them.
[00:06:09 --> 00:06:13] The men stood in silence, waiting for King Charles to speak.
[00:06:14 --> 00:06:18] "I find no fault in her," he said.
[00:06:18 --> 00:06:21] And I believe her to be telling the truth.
[00:06:21 --> 00:06:25] The men began to protest as King Charles interrupted,
[00:06:25 --> 00:06:28] "But I will have her sent to Poitiers
[00:06:28 --> 00:06:29] for further questioning."
[00:06:31 --> 00:06:35] So King Charles had Joan sent away in a carriage
[00:06:35 --> 00:06:37] to a small town called Poitiers.
[00:06:38 --> 00:06:40] When the carriage arrived,
[00:06:40 --> 00:06:43] it stopped in front of a much smaller castle
[00:06:43 --> 00:06:46] where she was taken inside.
[00:06:46 --> 00:06:50] A knight guided her down a long hallway to a large door.
[00:06:52 --> 00:06:55] Joan could hear the murmur of voices on the other side.
[00:06:55 --> 00:06:57] The knight looked at Joan.
[00:06:57 --> 00:07:00] She nodded, and he opened the door.
[00:07:01 --> 00:07:03] Joan stepped into a large corridor
[00:07:03 --> 00:07:07] which was filled with men seated behind large tables.
[00:07:08 --> 00:07:09] Many of them were priests
[00:07:09 --> 00:07:13] and others looked to be very educated scholars.
[00:07:13 --> 00:07:16] They all stopped talking and looked at Joan
[00:07:16 --> 00:07:18] as she entered the room.
[00:07:18 --> 00:07:20] A man at the table in the front
[00:07:20 --> 00:07:25] and center stood up and said, "Let the proceedings begin."
[00:07:25 --> 00:07:29] Joan felt a lump in her throat as she swallowed.
[00:07:29 --> 00:07:33] The man continued, "Are you the child who claims
[00:07:33 --> 00:07:36] to be hearing voices from heaven?"
[00:07:36 --> 00:07:39] Joan nodded her head and said, "Yes."
[00:07:39 --> 00:07:43] The man said, "There are accounts against you for heresy,
[00:07:43 --> 00:07:46] suggesting that you are involved in sorcery
[00:07:46 --> 00:07:49] yet claiming divine inspiration.
[00:07:49 --> 00:07:53] What defense would you make for yourself?"
[00:07:53 --> 00:07:54] Joan was nervous.
[00:07:54 --> 00:07:58] She opened her mouth to speak, but stuttered a bit.
[00:07:58 --> 00:08:01] The man interrupted, "Allow me to clarify
[00:08:01 --> 00:08:04] how grave of a matter this is.
[00:08:04 --> 00:08:09] Heresy is punishable by death, so I suggest you cooperate."
[00:08:09 --> 00:08:12] Joan could hardly remember anything
[00:08:12 --> 00:08:14] that happened in the room after that.
[00:08:14 --> 00:08:16] She was asked so many questions
[00:08:16 --> 00:08:20] that she almost lost her voice from talking too much.
[00:08:20 --> 00:08:21] After they had questioned her,
[00:08:21 --> 00:08:23] the men sent her out of the room
[00:08:23 --> 00:08:26] while they met privately to discuss.
[00:08:26 --> 00:08:29] As the knight opened the door for Joan to exit,
[00:08:29 --> 00:08:33] he pointed his arm towards a chair he had set out for her.
[00:08:35 --> 00:08:36] She sat down.
[00:08:36 --> 00:08:39] The knight handed her a cup of water.
[00:08:39 --> 00:08:42] She nodded as she took the cup and sipped the water.
[00:08:42 --> 00:08:45] Joan wanted very much to go to sleep.
[00:08:45 --> 00:08:48] She was so tired and hungry from standing
[00:08:48 --> 00:08:51] and answering questions for hours.
[00:08:51 --> 00:08:54] After a long time of sitting in the hallway,
[00:08:54 --> 00:08:57] the man who had questioned her opened the door and said,
[00:08:57 --> 00:08:59] "Please enter."
[00:09:00 --> 00:09:02] The knight escorted Joan into the room
[00:09:02 --> 00:09:04] and she stood before the men once more.
[00:09:05 --> 00:09:08] The man stood in the center of the room and said,
[00:09:09 --> 00:09:11] "Let the verdict declare
[00:09:11 --> 00:09:14] that we find nothing heretical in the child.
[00:09:14 --> 00:09:15] The court has determined
[00:09:15 --> 00:09:19] that the child may be safely employed for military purposes
[00:09:19 --> 00:09:24] and does not pose any threat to the king's military efforts.
[00:09:24 --> 00:09:27] Let the records show that the child was found
[00:09:27 --> 00:09:30] to be one of faith and not of malice."
[00:09:30 --> 00:09:32] Joan was released from the room
[00:09:32 --> 00:09:35] in a very formal and distant manner.
[00:09:35 --> 00:09:39] She was surprised that nobody spoke to her on the way out.
[00:09:39 --> 00:09:42] The knight escorted her back outside to the carriage
[00:09:42 --> 00:09:44] which started back for Chinon.
[00:09:45 --> 00:09:46] On the carriage ride,
[00:09:46 --> 00:09:50] Joan pondered the idea of serving in the king's military.
[00:09:50 --> 00:09:53] She did not want to fight anyone,
[00:09:53 --> 00:09:56] but she knew that she had a special call from God
[00:09:56 --> 00:09:57] to serve her country.
[00:09:58 --> 00:10:01] When the carriage arrived in Chinon,
[00:10:01 --> 00:10:03] King Charles greeted Joan.
[00:10:03 --> 00:10:06] King smiled and said, "Well done."
[00:10:06 --> 00:10:08] And then pulled her aside
[00:10:08 --> 00:10:11] and slowly walked with her towards a small door
[00:10:11 --> 00:10:12] in the back of the castle.
[00:10:13 --> 00:10:16] "I'm glad that the court was able to see the truth,"
[00:10:16 --> 00:10:18] he said.
[00:10:18 --> 00:10:21] Joan respectfully nodded her head.
[00:10:21 --> 00:10:23] "We'll need you in our military," he said.
[00:10:23 --> 00:10:27] "The inspiration you are receiving will guide us
[00:10:27 --> 00:10:29] in doing the Lord's will."
[00:10:29 --> 00:10:32] "I hope the Lord continues to work through me
[00:10:32 --> 00:10:34] for the good of our country," said Joan.
[00:10:36 --> 00:10:39] As they approached the small door, the king opened it.
[00:10:41 --> 00:10:42] They stepped inside.
[00:10:42 --> 00:10:46] The room was lined with swords, bows and arrows,
[00:10:46 --> 00:10:49] and all kinds of weapons intricately placed
[00:10:49 --> 00:10:52] on beautifully crafted wooden shelves.
[00:10:52 --> 00:10:54] King Charles walked up to the sword
[00:10:54 --> 00:10:57] with a shimmering blue gem in the center of the hilt,
[00:10:57 --> 00:11:02] and carefully, slowly took it down from the shelf.
[00:11:02 --> 00:11:05] "I'd like for you to have this sword," he said,
[00:11:05 --> 00:11:09] "to accompany you as you join our military efforts."
[00:11:09 --> 00:11:12] Joan's eyes widened as she looked at the sword.
[00:11:12 --> 00:11:15] She placed her hand on it.
[00:11:15 --> 00:11:19] She moved her eyes upwards towards the king and said,
[00:11:19 --> 00:11:24] "I'm honored, Your Highness, but I cannot accept it."
[00:11:24 --> 00:11:28] King Charles furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Why not?"
[00:11:28 --> 00:11:32] Joan looked at the king intently for a long moment,
[00:11:32 --> 00:11:35] wondering what he may think of what she was about to say.
[00:11:36 --> 00:11:39] "The voices from heaven," said Joan,
[00:11:39 --> 00:11:42] "they told me that there is a secret sword
[00:11:42 --> 00:11:44] that nobody knows about.
[00:11:44 --> 00:11:48] It is very ancient and I'd like for it to be uncovered."
[00:11:49 --> 00:11:53] King Charles looked Joan dead in the eyes.
[00:11:53 --> 00:11:58] Joan continued, "It is buried behind an altar."
[00:11:58 --> 00:12:01] "What altar?" asked King Charles.
[00:12:01 --> 00:12:04] "The one in the chapel of Saint Catherine of Fierbois,"
[00:12:04 --> 00:12:05] said Joan.
[00:12:05 --> 00:12:09] "Your Highness, may I request that you conduct a search
[00:12:09 --> 00:12:10] for this sword instead?"
[00:12:11 --> 00:12:14] King Charles walked around Joan in circles,
[00:12:14 --> 00:12:16] scratching his chin.
[00:12:16 --> 00:12:19] "I will call for a search," he said.
[00:12:19 --> 00:12:22] "But if it is not able to be located,
[00:12:22 --> 00:12:24] you will accept my sword or have none at all."
[00:12:25 --> 00:12:29] Joan nodded and said, "I understand, Your Highness.
[00:12:29 --> 00:12:31] Thank you."
[00:12:31 --> 00:12:34] King Charles contacted the priest stationed
[00:12:34 --> 00:12:36] at the chapel of Saint Catherine of Fierbois,
[00:12:36 --> 00:12:39] and ordered that there be a search conducted
[00:12:39 --> 00:12:40] under the altar.
[00:12:40 --> 00:12:42] King Charles waited anxiously
[00:12:42 --> 00:12:46] to see if Jones prediction would be correct.
[00:12:46 --> 00:12:49] He began to wonder if the voices she was hearing
[00:12:49 --> 00:12:51] really were from heaven.
[00:12:54 --> 00:12:57] King Charles was sitting in his cavernous study pondering
[00:12:57 --> 00:13:01] these thoughts when there was a knock on the study door.
[00:13:02 --> 00:13:04] "Enter," he said.
[00:13:04 --> 00:13:08] A knight entered the study, bowed to the king and said,
[00:13:08 --> 00:13:12] "Your Highness, the search has been completed."
[00:13:12 --> 00:13:15] "And?" interrupted King Charles.
[00:13:15 --> 00:13:17] "And the search party has found this very sword,"
[00:13:17 --> 00:13:20] said the knight as he presented the ancient sword
[00:13:20 --> 00:13:22] to the king.
[00:13:22 --> 00:13:25] King Charles' eyes grew wide in amazement.
[00:13:25 --> 00:13:30] He took the sword and said, "Thank you. You are dismissed.
[00:13:30 --> 00:13:33] Bring the child to me at once."
[00:13:33 --> 00:13:36] The king looked at the sword and pondered it,
[00:13:36 --> 00:13:40] and then gazed upward out of the steady window at the sky.
[00:13:41 --> 00:13:44] "My Lord and my God," he prayed quietly.
[00:13:45 --> 00:13:48] The knight returned to the room escorting Joan
[00:13:48 --> 00:13:51] and entered and bowed to King Charles.
[00:13:51 --> 00:13:54] The knight left the room as Joan said,
[00:13:54 --> 00:13:57] "Your Highness, how may I be of service?"
[00:13:57 --> 00:14:00] King Charles put his hand on Joan's shoulder.
[00:14:00 --> 00:14:04] "Your inspiration has proven true once more," he said.
[00:14:04 --> 00:14:07] And he presented the sword to Joan.
[00:14:07 --> 00:14:09] Joan looked upward and whispered something
[00:14:09 --> 00:14:12] that the king could not understand.
[00:14:12 --> 00:14:15] She then looked back down at the sword
[00:14:15 --> 00:14:17] and placed her hand on it.
[00:14:17 --> 00:14:21] "Glory be to the Triune God," she said.
[00:14:21 --> 00:14:24] And slowly, carefully took the sword out
[00:14:24 --> 00:14:25] of the king's hands.
[00:14:25 --> 00:14:27] "Your Highness," she said,
[00:14:27 --> 00:14:30] "I will serve my country with faith
[00:14:30 --> 00:14:32] and every virtue I can offer,
[00:14:32 --> 00:14:36] but I must insist that I not fight anybody.
[00:14:36 --> 00:14:38] Let me carry a flag instead."
[00:14:39 --> 00:14:41] The king nodded respectfully to Joan
[00:14:41 --> 00:14:42] as he called his knight to take Joan
[00:14:42 --> 00:14:44] to join the rest of the army.
[00:14:47 --> 00:14:49] As the knight entered the room,
[00:14:49 --> 00:14:51] Joan bowed the king one last time.
[00:14:53 --> 00:14:56] King Charles gave a slight smile.
[00:14:56 --> 00:14:59] Joan turned around and walked out with the knight.
[00:15:00 --> 00:15:04] King Charles offered a prayer under his breath
[00:15:04 --> 00:15:06] as he looked out the window of the study
[00:15:06 --> 00:15:08] at the army marching outside.
[00:15:08 --> 00:15:12] He saw Joan join the march at the front of the line,
[00:15:12 --> 00:15:14] holding a white flag with symbols
[00:15:14 --> 00:15:16] that he could hardly make out,
[00:15:16 --> 00:15:19] but he could see that there were lilies
[00:15:19 --> 00:15:23] and an image of Jesus holding the world in his hands
[00:15:23 --> 00:15:25] with angels on either side.
[00:15:25 --> 00:15:28] He thought to himself that Joan had the bravery
[00:15:28 --> 00:15:32] that only a child could receive from the Lord.
[00:15:32 --> 00:15:36] He could tell that she was ready to serve God no matter
[00:15:36 --> 00:15:38] what the consequences may be.
[00:15:38 --> 00:15:42] (triumphant music)
[00:15:42 --> 00:15:44] And that's the story of Joan of Arc,
[00:15:44 --> 00:15:48] a girl who trusted God one step at a time.
[00:15:48 --> 00:15:50] And hey, just like building this castle,
