The Bible for Kids Podcast: Time-Traveling to David and Goliath with Troy Schmidt and Dan Lynch

In this episode of The Bible for Kids podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer welcome author and pastor Troy Schmidt and producer Dan Lynch to discuss GIANTS, the thrilling fifth installment in their Christian time-travel adventure series THE SEVEN.

Designed for middle-grade readers, THE SEVEN follows a diverse group of kids gifted with powers based on the fruits of the Spirit. As they discover each other across the series, they unite to protect and preserve biblical history from a mysterious villain determined to rewrite it.

In GIANTS, the team journeys back to the time of David and Goliath, where they must stop the evil Dr. Bales from altering the outcome of one of the Bible’s most iconic battles.

Blending faith-based storytelling, biblical accuracy, and archaeological insight, THE SEVEN series offers exciting Christian fiction that educates and entertains. Each book also includes a secret code for readers to solve, challenging them to engage deeply with the text.

If your family enjoys Christian adventure books, biblical fiction for kids, or faith-based middle-grade series, this episode is a must-listen!
