There is nothing like a good story. The way it draws you in, captivates you, and leaves you thinking is an experience that young and old alike delight in! 

God is the master storyteller. We know that because He wrote the Bible and filled it with stories. Jesus demonstrated this as He time and again used stories to teach eternal truths. 

Simeon and I interview our friend, Nathaniel Brown author of The Christian Storyteller. He shares how God has used stories to impact his own life, and how he, as a father, incorporates storytelling into how he instructs his children.

We discuss...

There are times in life where we have to cling to the goodness of the Lord lest we drown under the waves of sorrow and loss. Our family has recently been in that season as we walked through our second miscarriage. I share the story of our grief, but my prayer is that hope shines brightly through all the darkness. God is always, only good- even when our hearts are breaking. "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."

Psalm 27:13

Lamentations 3:19-24

In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads His dear children along;

As we continue through our book study of Great Hymns for Growing Hearts, we come to the hymn God Leads Us Along. This is a beautiful hymn that reminds us of truths we learn about our great Shepherd in Psalm 23. Whether we go through the waters, floods, or fire, God promises to lead us. We can find peace and rest in Him through all the seasons life brings.

Join me as I share lessons God has taught me in a busy season of homemaking and homeschooling!

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." -Charles W. Eliot, President of Harvard

It is no secret that I love books! Reading is a huge part of the atmosphere of our home and our family culture. In this episode, we chat about why it is so important to develop a love for reading in your home. One of the best ways to do this is to collect a home library. I share where to find books worth buying and how to build a home library on a budget.
