Wonder, Whimsy, and Worship: Inspiring Children to See God in Every Adventure with Kurt Kreiger

Posted in

What if imagination wasn’t just play—but a way for children to discover the wonder of God’s creation?

In this enchanting episode of At This Table, host Shelly Brown sits down with artist and storyteller Kurt Kreiger, author of Stories of Epic Adventure—a children’s book that feels like stepping through a doorway into imagination itself. Bursting with color, layered detail, and whimsical scenes, this beautifully illustrated story invites families to slow down, savor, and rediscover the joy of curiosity and creativity.

Kurt shares how becoming a grandparent reawakened his sense of childlike wonder and how Stories of Epic Adventure was born from a desire to help children—and the adults who love them—use the gifts God placed inside them: curiosity, imagination, and creativity. Together, Shelly and Kurt explore how adventure and faith intersect in everyday life and how simple moments of play can become powerful ways to connect with God and one another.

The conversation with Kurt Kreiger dives into:

  • The heart behind Stories of Epic Adventure and how it invites both kids and adults to explore, discover, and create.
  • Why Kurt began the book with “declare God’s steadfast love in the morning” and ended it with “His faithfulness at night.”
  • The surprising “moss monster” story that became a family favorite—and made its way into the book.
  • How grandparents (and parents) can spark imagination through storytelling, even with something as simple as a photo or a car ride.
  • The importance of wonder in a world dominated by screens—and how stories can help children see God’s beauty in ordinary life.
  • What families can take away from reading Stories of Epic Adventure together.

Listen in and be reminded: imagination isn’t a distraction from faith—it’s one of the ways God invites us to see Him more clearly.
