The Sword & Story Podcast

Tune in to my podcast interview with Laurie Christine on The Sword & Story Podcast. Here's the episode in a nutshell from the podcast host:

What if your new board game could send you on real adventures to foreign countries?

What if you were given a mission to accomplish, and failure meant you’d never make it home again?

What if you could be part of God’s rescue mission and you didn’t have to wait until you were a grown up?

Welcome to The Sword and Story Podcast—where we help Christian families find exciting, faith-filled books for their boys.

Our mission is to raise strong, courageous warriors for the Kingdom of God. Join us on a quest to discover stories that inspire our boys to grow into godly young men.

I’m your host, Laurie Christine. I’m an author, bible teacher, wife, and mom to four wild, wonderful, boys. I’m the author of the Dragon Slayer Bible Series, adventure-packed biblical fiction and devotions for middle-grade boys.

Our guest author today is Jenny Marcelene.

Exploring Faith

In this podcast interview, I share my journey of faith, the evolution of my writing passion, and the inspiration behind my new children's book, "The Dreamer." I discuss the importance of raising households that serve the Lord, the impact of cross-cultural experiences on my worldview, and how prayer can connect families to global missions. I emphasize the need for resources that cultivate a biblical worldview in children and the beauty of different cultures, all while encouraging parents to take small, intentional steps in nurturing their children's faith.

Discipling Our Children Through Books

Selecting good books for our kids can be tough because we can't read every book with our kids, especially as they get older and their reading races beyond our time capacities.

I had a great conversation with Raef Chenery on how Christian parents can use reading books as a training ground for discipleship, the importance of faithfully cultivating a biblical worldview in our kids, and creating bridges to connect with non-believers through literature.
