How should we view Paul's instruction about clothes and jewelry today? Can our faith grow? What's the best focus for us as believers? What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? What about the many places in the book of Acts where people are filled and doing things?

This week on the podcast, hosts Tricia Goyer and Mike Nawrocki sit down with Rev. Esau McCaulley—renowned biblical scholar, theologian, professor, and author—to discuss his powerful new children’s Bible, God’s Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible: The Story of God’s Big Diverse Family.

In this meaningful conversation, Esau McCaulley shares the heart behind creating a storybook Bible that faithfully tells Scripture while highlighting God’s intentional design for ethnic diversity, justice, compassion, and care for the vulnerable. Written with both scholarly depth and the warmth of a father’s voice, God’s Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible invites children and families to see themselves reflected in God’s redemptive story from Genesis to Revelation.

This beautifully illustrated, color-rich storybook Bible weaves together 31 engaging Bible stories, including:

• 16 Old Testament stories
• 15 New Testament stories
• Several biblical stories rarely included in traditional storybook Bibles

Each story emphasizes God’s love for all people, His concern for the poor and oppressed, and His vision for a multicultural, diverse Church united by grace. Families of all ethnicities, nationalities, and backgrounds will be drawn to McCaulley’s fresh yet faithful retelling of Scripture—one that celebrates God’s kingdom as a beautifully diverse family.

Throughout the episode, listeners will explore:

• Why diversity is central—not secondary—to the biblical narrative
• How children’s faith formation is shaped by inclusive storytelling
• The role of justice, compassion, and unity in God’s Kingdom
• Why this storybook Bible is poised to become a modern classic for families and churches

There is no doubt that God has always been at work creating a colorful, diverse family, and God’s Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible helps the next generation see that truth clearly and joyfully.
