February 25, 2026 ● 14 minShare this episode
In this inspiring episode of Words of Life, we welcome back Kristen Mudge, Southern Territorial Publications Editor, alongside special guest Lindsay Bonilla, a children’s book author and professional storyteller whose work is rooted in faith, imagination, and hope.
Lindsay shares her personal faith journey, growing up with Christ as her constant companion through seasons of change and transition. Her story reveals how a deep sense of identity in Christ shaped not only who she is, but how she writes—especially for children navigating a distracted, comparison-driven world.
Together, the conversation explores the power of the written word, the importance of storytelling in the Christian life, and why stories—much like Jesus’ parables—have a unique ability to shape hearts and minds. Lindsay opens up about her calling to write, the surprising path that led her there, and the themes that anchor her work: identity, kindness, welcoming those who are different, and helping children understand who they are in God.
This episode is a thoughtful encouragement for parents, writers, educators, and anyone who believes stories can help form faith at every age.
