Our story
We started writing stories during Sunday naptime.
We have three sons. We want them to love scripture stories, not simply because they are scriptural but because they are beautiful stories with profoundly human characters who are struggling to do and be good in a complex world.
We hope that by connecting to scripture characters more tenderly ourselves, and trying to show their humanity gently, but honestly, our sons will begin to see themselves in the scriptures. And they will learn, as the patriarchs and matriarchs of old, that there is goodness and grace and givenness in all the whole world around them. And maybe, it will help you, and your littles, to sense that too.
You love the gospel
…but struggle to put your feelings into words for your children.
You want to teach gently
…sharing the story of the gospel with your children kindly, thoughtfully, and simply.
Beauty matters to you
…and you want your kids to know the beauty of scripture stories as well as the doctrine.
You look at history generously
…and honestly, with room for the whole human story of the church.
So, if…
Pull up a chair. We think you'll love it here.
Our goal
We strive to rediscover the humans in our current and ancient church, to see their faults and foibles, their glories and triumphs, and to love them all, all over again.
What we believe
Storytime is sacred time
Stories connect us
When told well, stories can be a space for connecting parents and children, humans and God.
Scripture stories should be real
Even difficult stories should be told honestly, but compassionately.
The humans are really human
They're messy, imperfect, and loved.
God so loves the world
And its people, even when they are very flawed.
