About this listen

Welcome to Parables From Pearls, the tabletop role-playing game actual play that is directly inspired by Biblical scripture. Have you watched some of these fantasy story-telling games, and felt like cringing when a piece of adult content emerged out of nowhere? Do you feel nervous about letting your child listen or watch shows like these, since there are questionable influences at play? Do you want to just relax, and listen to a Christian alternative to this immersive and imaginative genre of entertainment? Then I bid you welcome to Parables from Pearls, and invite you to join me on a journey of discovery as we use the wondrous truths of the Holy Bible to create tales of adventure, intrigue, and drama. Note: while this show uses the Holy Scriptures as inspiration for its stories and characters, it is not intended to be used as a replacement for a genuine Bible study. (My knowledge of scripture is after all, limited.) I recommend that in order to better understand the truths contained in the Bible, you visit a church in your area that focuses on studying the Holy Scriptures and teaching its principles. One such church is Journey Baptist Church @ The Junction in St. Joseph, MO. If you live in that area, please come and visit!
