Christian Yoto Cards - 30+ Links for Good Christian Content For MYO

The Yoto player is a valuable resource for any parent who wants to invite only uplifting media into your home. This is especially helpful for Christian households that want to cut down on screen time and make sure their kids have easy access to inspiring spiritual messages.

If you are a parent and are looking for Christian content for your kids to listen to, we've got tons of suggestions for audio you can purchase, download, and add to Yoto MYO cards. We cover audio from music to dramatized readings of the Bible to uplifting, appropriate audiobooks. This Christian Yoto Content works for toddlers, children, tweens, teens, and adults.

So if you're searching for Christian audio, check out this list!

Note: I do not discriminate between different sects of Christianity, nor do I tolerate unkindness towards anyone of any faith. Please recognize we are all trying to do what's best for our families, and we may have different lines for what is appropriate for our children. This post is simply a resource of available Christian content for Yoto Cards. You do you!

Which Yoto Cards in the store are appropriate for Christians?

First of all, there are a lot of cards in the current Yoto catalog.

Since there aren't reviews in the store, it can be hard to tell which cards have themes or language you might want to avoid. It's especially tricky because everyone has a different line for what content they are willing to have in their home. Something that bothers one person may be fine in other families.

We'd like to suggest two resources:

1. This post listing Parent Guide To Yoto Cards: Sorted By Topic. These neutral lists are presented as a starting point to help families be aware of specific topics/inclusions/representation. We do not tell you if you should seek out or avoid any particular topics, but are simply providing a list many have asked for.
2. If you'd like more information about particular cards in the Yoto catalog, I've found a great resource! The Christian Yoto Content Facebook Group has peer-collected reviews about card content. Request to join at the link above. Once you're accepted, simply search "CYC Review" plus the name of the card you are researching. If it doesn't come up in the search, you can post a new request for content reviews.

Recognize that the world is a mishmash of many different Christian religions and sects, so be kind and understanding if other people have differing views from your own.

October 2024 Update: Yoto opened the Independent Creators section of the Yoto store. Of particular note are these 6 new cards:

Kaliedoscope Kids Bibles - Four new Christian cards are now available in the Yoto Store featuring the Stories of Acts, John, Daniel, Genesis. These cards are biblical retellings for ages 3-12; learn more about the creator here.

Lamplighter Kids - ABC Scripture Stories - verses set to music for memorization

Little Songs for Little Lions - soothing bedtime stories about kids in the Bible

The rest of this post focuses on audio content you can use to Make Your Own cards Christian Yoto Cards.

Again remember this is provided as a general resource, and you might not find every link to be suitable for your own family, but that's okay!

Bible Stories for Christian Yoto Cards

Jesus Storybook Bible

Jesus Storybook Bible is on Downpour which makes it SUPER easy to put on MYO Yoto Card!

This children's storybook Bible is universally popular. Narrated by David Suchet, and tells the stories from the Bible in a way children will understand and enjoy. They also have a podcast!

Laugh and Grow Bible For Kids

This collection of 52 Bible stories is written by Phil Vischer, who you may know as the creator of VeggieTales. You can get the audiobook here, and there is a matching book so you can do a read-along with the Yoto card. Of course, since it's an audiobook, you will have to convert it into an MP3 playlist and then add it to an MYO card. I definitely don't regret getting this one - my toddler listens to it often!

Beginner's Bible

You can find the Beginner's Bible on Downpour! It has great sound effects and has both a male and female narrator. Both have a great range of voices and really bring the stories alive. The stories are all very appropriate for very young listeners. It follows the hard copy book verbatim.

The Kingdom of God Bible Storybook Bible

The Kingdom of God Storybook Bible comes in Old Testament and New Testament from Lithos Kids, and those do have audio options available for it! So if you want a physical copy to go along with the audio, you can get the Old Testament book here and the New Testament here.

The audio of the Kingdom of God books are only $5 each, and I can send you a quick sample of either of those if you’d like to hear them! 

The Child's Story Bible by Catherine Vos

This children's Bible is a classic. It was first published over seventy years ago and has been pretty popular ever since. It's written by Catherine Vos and you can get the audio version as well as the hardcopy of the book.

The Kids Bible on CD (15 CD set)

This CD set has over 300 Bible stories in over 17 hours of content. It only contains stories from the New Testament but there are some Bible songs peppered throughout the audio. It is a dramatized reading of the CEV Bible.

The Donkey Who Carried a King

This children's audiobook is about Davy, a young donkey. One day, Davey is chosen for a special task, and he ends up carrying Jesus into Jerusalem. This book gives a new perspective on what happened during Jesus's final week.

The World's Greatest Stories

The World's Greatest Stories are narrated by George W. Sarris and follow the Bible word for word. The audio is dramatized with music and sound effects so they'll hold your children's attention. You can find the CDs here and some of them are on Amazon.

The Big Picture Story Bible Podcast

This podcast is narrated by David Helm and follows the matching physical book. The podcast is easy to turn into a Yoto card because there are no ads and you can download all of the episodes. The podcast is just the full recording of the book and the narrator is the author of the book!

The Story of God's Love For You

The Story of God's Love For You contains 44 short chapters from the Bible and melds them together into a cohesive story that centers around Jesus. It is a great listen for people who have read the Bible many times and for people who have never opened it before.

Word of Promise Audio Bible

This audio Bible of the NKJV features original music, sound effects, narration, and over 500 voice actors. It is an epic way to hear the Bible.

Please note that these files are HUGE for the New Testament alone, so the Old Testament file is even larger. I know it's always wise to use one Audible credit to get as many books as possible, but getting the entire Bible in one go basically broke my OpenAudible. I had to return and get just the New Testament. So I'd suggest you don't get both at once.

The Biggest Story

*CD currently out of stock.*

The Biggest Story is an audio CD (that you can easily turn into a Yoto card) that is almost 30 minutes long with music and sound effects. It tells the core message of the Bible. There's also a hardcover book that goes along with it so your kids can read along.

Many ESV, NIV, and KJV on Audible

There are many readers of the different versions of the Bible on Audible, so I'd recommend that you preview narrators to see which one you like the most. Here's one example, but you can browse Audible for more options. Just search your version/edition of choice: KJV, ESV, etc.

The Savior is Born

This account of the Nativity is lovely! It is narrated by Morgan Freeman and weaves together the nativity story from the different gospels in the Bible. It's set to music from The Christ Church Cathedral Choir and it's absolutely beautiful!

A Tale of the Two Kings

Listen to the story of redemption told by the Bible. This tells the story of Adam and Jesus and how Jesus's crucifixion made eternal life possible. It is written in a way that is easy for kids to understand!

Word of Promise Next Generation

This audiobook is narrated by celebrities like Jordin Sparks, Corbin Bleu, Sean Astin, and more!

It tells stories from the Bible, is aimed toward teens, is set to an original score, and features sound effects and more! It will keep your teen's attention and is an extremely accessible and easy-to-understand version of the Bible.

Dan & Louie

This series is about Dan and Louie and follows them as they travel through the Bible Storybook Castle and witness different biblical scenes. You can find stories and downloads here.

Other Christian Content for MYO Yoto Cards

There's more than just bible stories available as good Christian Yoto Content! The following audiobooks are either specifically Christian content or just fiction that follows the admonition of Paul, that is, "anything of good report or praiseworthy."

The Pilgrim's Progress

This book has been around for over 300 years! In this devotional, you follow an epic adventure through a Christian allegory. You can find the original version here, but that might be too hard to understand for kids, so you can check out a more readable modern-day version as well.

Here's another modern-English version and an audio drama. Arguably, the most listener-friendly production of John Bunyan's immortal classic ever produced can be found here.

Again, I would recommend you preview the audible narrators first so you can see which one you prefer!

Little Pilgrim's Big Journey

This book is the illustrated and adapted version of Pilgrim's Progress, made just for kids. It comes in two parts. The audio versions are available here (part one and part two). You can get the book versions on Amazon (part one and part two).

I can tell you this version (Little Pilgrim's Big Journey) is much more palatable for kids than the original version in Old English. It's amazing!

Heroes of History Series

If you have Audible, a ton of the YWAM Heroes of History and Missionary stories are now included with your membership! We read a lot of these for our homeschool read-aloud and they are wonderful!

Green Ember

Green Ember isn't a Christian book but it has a lot of Christian themes. It is about two rabbits in a magical world as they dive into the fight between good and evil.

Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker has some book series that are great for kids. You can get the entire Millie Maven series on audiobook here. Follow Millie Maven, a 12-year-old orphan who enters an institute for gifted children.

His other series, The Dragons Collection, is only available on audiobook from his website here.

Little Women

This is a good one for older kids or teens! Set in 1868, this novel follows four sisters as they grow up in Massachusetts during the Civil War. There are lots of different free versions of this audiobook with different narrators (since it is in the public domain), but this one is a favorite.

Our Island Story

This is a compilation CD of three volumes: the Romans to Richard the Lionheart, the Magna Carta to Queen Elizabeth 1, and James I and Guy Fawkes to Queen Victoria.

It's not specifically about the Bible or religion, but it does talk a lot about the history of Britain and Protestantism.

Adventures in Odyssey

There is SO much audio content for Adventures in Odyssey! If you know nothing about it, you should read this and this. You can buy CDs or digital downloads from Amazon, ChristianBook.com, or directly from The Focus Store.

Fiction From The Good & The Beautiful
