Welcome, Adventurers!

Somewhere deep in Old Raven's Forest, a little badger named Barty is off on an Adventure! And if you listen closely, he might just invite your child along.

These stories are short parables for children, the kind meant to be read aloud before bed, or around the table, or in the five quiet minutes before the Sunday school lesson begins.

They're simple stories. But they do something.

They give children a felt sense of the gospel - not just the facts of it, but the feel of it. What it's like to be called by name. What it means that Someone went ahead of you into the dark. How we can adventure with Jesus every day. They are fun and meaningful explorations of a Biblical passage or theme, staying true to the message of Scripture, speaking the language of children.

Every few weeks, a new story arrives here. New stories are free for your family and your classroom. No noise, no algorithm. Just a story, a scripture, and a small truth worth sitting with.

We're glad you found the forest.

About Me - I'm Chris

Hello! I live and pastor in southern Massachusetts, and I've been writing children's stories for over 15 years. I use them as Children's Sermons in our regular worship service.

With a Masters of Divinity and a Doctorate of Ministry in Preaching, I am passionate about crafting experiences where people encounter God and his love in new, exciting, and inviting ways. My sincere hope is that the Holy Spirit captures your imagination and heart, and that, through these stories, people of all ages choose to Adventure with life's best adventuring partner, Jesus.
