What if some of the first words spoken over your child could shape how they see themselves—and God—for the rest of their life?
In this episode of At This Table, Host, Shelly Brown sits down with children’s book author Sherri Prins to talk about her two deeply meaningful books, You Are So Loved and You Are So Loved: Adoption Story. These interactive and customizable keepsakes invite parents and grandparents to speak God’s truth and love over little ones from the very beginning—whether through birth or adoption.
Sherri shares the passion behind these stories, her heart for helping children grow up knowing their true identity, and why instilling belonging from the earliest days is so important in today’s culture. She also opens up about her own journey of faith, the role her daughter played in bringing the books to life, and the powerful reminder that parents are chosen and equipped by God for the children entrusted to them.

What makes a story linger in your heart long after you’ve read the last page?
In this episode of At This Table, host Shelly Brown sits down with author Sam Blumenthal, whose short story collections Once Upon a Time, Volume 1 and Volume 2 invite readers to see God’s truth through imagination, history, and everyday life.
Sam’s second volume has already gained national recognition, with two Selah Award–winning stories: Hello in There (1st place) and Long Black Veil (2nd place). These stories couldn’t be more different—one tender and intimate, the other layered with justice and sacrifice—but both speak straight to the heart.
Together, we talk about:
• Why Sam chose the short story format to share timeless truths.
• How it felt to win not one but two Selah Awards in a single year.
• The inspiration behind Long Black Veil and the truths it wrestles with.
• The tender call to compassion woven through Hello in There.
• What Sam most hopes readers will carry with them after reading.
Whether you love historical settings, reflective storytelling, or simply need a reminder that God is the Author of all our stories, this conversation will encourage and inspire you.
