Stories That Shape the Soul: The Author Journey of S.D. Smith | Ep. 11

What do bunnies, betrayal, and brave hearts have to do with spiritual formation? In this inspiring episode of All Things Possible, Bethany and Adam sit down with S.D. Smith, the beloved author of The Green Ember series—a storyworld that’s captured the hearts of families around the globe.

Sam shares how a childhood spent in the hollers of West Virginia and a season of deep suffering helped shape stories that equip children to face real life with courage, faith, and hope. They unpack why imagination matters, how storytelling reaches the soul, and why parents must guide their children through meaningful media.

Good stories don’t just entertain, they disciple.
