About this Episode
Fairy tales are the stories that shape so many of our childhoods, but they are more than just whimsical tales for children.
They can hold deep, gospel truth and offer profound insight into the Christian life. They have the power to inspire hope, ignite courage, and spark delight in not only our children, but in us, too.
Fairy tales aren’t merely stories, they’re vessels of light in our modern world. They have the capacity to become companions to us, to buoy us along the journey.
In today’s show, I talk about why fairy tales are worth sharing with our families, as they shape our understanding of the world and our own part in it.
