Fairy tales are the stories that shape so many of our childhoods, but they are more than just whimsical tales for children.

They can hold deep, gospel truth and offer profound insight into the Christian life. They have the power to inspire hope, ignite courage, and spark delight in not only our children, but in us, too.

Fairy tales aren’t merely stories, they’re vessels of light in our modern world. They have the capacity to become companions to us, to buoy us along the journey.

In today’s show, I talk about why fairy tales are worth sharing with our families, as they shape our understanding of the world and our own part in it.

Don't miss our brand-new fairy tale book list! Text “fairytale” to 337777 or visit readaloudrevival.com/243 to see the lists. (They’re separated by age groups, and there’s something for everyone!)

What makes fairy tales “truer than true”
How fairy tales teach children about hope and confronting fears
Why you probably need to worry less about “the weird stuff” than you think, and trust your gut on what your child is ready for
