The Bible for Kids Podcast: Time-Traveling to David and Goliath with Troy Schmidt and Dan Lynch

In this episode of The Bible for Kids podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer welcome author and pastor Troy Schmidt and producer Dan Lynch to discuss GIANTS, the thrilling fifth installment in their Christian time-travel adventure series THE SEVEN.

Designed for middle-grade readers, THE SEVEN follows a diverse group of kids gifted with powers based on the fruits of the Spirit. As they discover each other across the series, they unite to protect and preserve biblical history from a mysterious villain determined to rewrite it.

In GIANTS, the team journeys back to the time of David and Goliath, where they must stop the evil Dr. Bales from altering the outcome of one of the Bible’s most iconic battles.

Blending faith-based storytelling, biblical accuracy, and archaeological insight, THE SEVEN series offers exciting Christian fiction that educates and entertains. Each book also includes a secret code for readers to solve, challenging them to engage deeply with the text.

If your family enjoys Christian adventure books, biblical fiction for kids, or faith-based middle-grade series, this episode is a must-listen!

In crowded markets, being different isn’t enough. You have to communicate how you’re different. Too many businesses blend in because they focus on what the competition is doing instead of what customers actually care about. You might offer better pricing, better service, or a better product, but if you don’t say it clearly, it won’t matter. Messaging that stands out starts with understanding what your audience hates about the current options and then owning the opposite. The brands that win don’t just have better products. They have better words. So how do you find the message that sticks?

In this episode, Donald Miller and Kyle Reed unpack the viral product launch of Slate, a new affordable and customizable electric truck. They analyze the messaging strategy behind Slate’s viral launch video, and how the brand positioned itself against high-priced vehicles with a fun, customer-focused message. Listen in and learn how to build a controlling idea that creates clarity and focuses on what customers really want.
