Campfire Quest

One story. The whole family.

Five minutes at breakfast or in the car. Your six-year-old follows every word. Your twelve-year-old doesn't feel talked down to.

I built it for my kids.

I wanted the first thing in their ears each morning to be something other than a screen.

So I built them a show. A story from the scriptures, told in plain words. One idea worth keeping. And one small thing to go do that day.

It's run 58 episodes since June 22.

This is that same show, rebuilt so it fits your family as well as mine.

About five minutes. Every day.

• One story. Straight out of the scriptures, told the way you'd tell it, not the way it reads on the page.
• One idea worth keeping. Something about effort, or honesty, or getting back up.
• One quest. A small thing to actually go do before the day ends. Ask them at dinner whether they did it.

One episode a day, written to be listened to together. Simple enough for a six-year-old to follow, and not so simple that a twelve-year-old checks out. Everybody hears the same story, so at dinner there's actually something to talk about.

It's a private feed, not an app.

You get one link. You add it once to the podcast app that's already on your phone. That's the setup.

After that a new episode lands every morning on its own. It downloads on wifi, so it plays in the car with no signal and no data.

Nothing to install. No account for your kid. No screen to hand them.

Your kid listens. That's the whole interaction.

I'm a dad in Missouri. I'm not a studio and I'm not a publisher. I built one show for my own kids, I've kept it running since June, and now I'm opening it up.
