Great audiobook! Well produced and well done. I was wondering, how is your next book Creed coming along so far?

What an amazing way of putting it, amen!

Please come out with more books soon!

Please bring back the pod cast. We love y’all and are praying for the Lord to bless you and your family and your writing’s. The King reign’s and His Son. ❤🎉

I just finished Nova and I am blown away....and so invested. My son is on Book 4 of the Kingdom series which he just started yesterday and all he keeps saying is "mom you have to read it its sooo good" thank you for these books I ordered the rest of the starlore legacy on Amazon just waiting on them to arrive❤

I have been waiting for this so long! Thank you for your commitment to these books! You have easily become my favorite author and have been recommended to lots of my friends.

Beautiful ❤️

❤

I have not read all of your books yet, but I do greatly enjoy what I have read so far. I started off with the Kingdom series, and after reading 2 books, I went ahead and bought every book you had out at that time. I can't speak on what I have not read yet, but from from all the times I've heard you speak, it is obvious that you love God, Jesus, and His Word. The Pilgrims Progress has been my favorite allegory and now I add your books into that same list. Keep engaging people to seek and understand God's word 🙏

Wow....

Ah, the comfort of cold hard reality and no longer believing that I’ll die one day only to live in an eternal paradise. Religion is all about the comfort it offers.

When you find yourself in a failing religion pull the ejector handle and end up in reality.

Good wisdom

People leave their faith because they figure out that the religion they were raised in is complete bullshit. The stupidest story of a told. I've been an atheist for a huge majority of my life and of course many people think that I misguided. You go back to ancient Rome or Greece and you will find their atheists living in those societies. You ask your average religious person if those people were wrong and of course they would say no they were correct in not believing in those gods. There they show their bias. Their religion is correct and everyone else's religion is wrong. Now times that by the several thousand gods that have been worshiped over the course of human history. You starting to get the picture?

So how much do you actually do with the audiobooks? The Wars of the Realm were really well done, and Starlore has been too.

Awesome! Didn't know you did audio too, that's fantastic.

Very apt analogy.

Sounds like the right answer is the complete opposite of what your saying.

religious nonsense

I love all your stories. And thanks for the resources!

Thank you for your ministry! What dates will you be speaking at the Ark Encounter? My family would love to try and attend.

all your books are amazing but some really awakens the spiritual warrior in me to seek God and serve Him more, so inspiring for a long time after reading or listening, Shalom

I was delighted to hear you name Will Parker in John Christopher's Tripod series as a favorite character. He is one of my favorites also. What you say about him is spot on. It's a great series even though it is not "Christian." Christopher has written several other dystopian books for young adults that I would also recommend. He has also written several adult books as well. John Christopher is a pen name; his real name was Samuel Youd. He passed away several years ago, but his books are still available in used book stores mostly, but they are occasionally republished. Have you read his Sword of the Spirits trilogy? It is also describes a dystopian future, and while it is again not Christian the way Chuck's books are, there are characters who are Christians, and their story lines are educational and interesting. I would recommend those books highly, If you read them, pay special attention to Martin. You'll need to read all three to see his full story line. It's interesting that you use the Tripod stories in the podcast on doubt because that is a theme throughout the Tripods books. It is doubt that motivates Will to begin his journey. While not Christian, Will does follow much of your advice. He accepts his doubt. He finds someone to help him understand. He diligently seeks the truth. He does it from a human standpoint, not a spiritual, but there are some strong parallels. Thanks again for an excellent discussion.

I find it difficult to believe that everyone has not experienced some doubt at some point in the Christian walk. There are just so many issues and questions these days, that doubt has to pop up to some degree before everything is sorted out. What helps me is hearing personal stories, and that's why I liked this podcast so much. Chuck's personal stories and his explanations illustrate important the key steps to working through doubt, and while I didn't hear it specifically from him, he could have easily used the stories to say something like, "Be patient with your doubts." Sometimes we hunger for a quick answer and we might feel guilty for not resolving doubts in a short time. That doesn't always happen, and there's no reason to feel guilty for extended doubts. Don't wallow in the doubts, granted, but keep working on them. I wish doubts would always be resolved quickly, but getting the answers we need in a context that makes an impact on our lives can take time. As John the Baptist, Chuck's flight leader and others have found out, the wait is worth it when the doubt is resolved. Thanks for the good advice.

My favorite character is one of these three Captain America ,high king Peter and Winnie the Pooh. I love your podcast never miss an episode. ❤

Love these podcasts! Love your books! Thank you!

Keep them coming!

Can't wait till the audiobook comes out on cd!

Wars of the Realm really challenged me. The third book specifically felt so dark and so much like today's world. It was honestly rather depressing toward the end, but good for me to grapple with. The audios were so intense. Still love them now as an adult. Keep the books coming!

Wars of the Realm is the best! My brother convinced me to try the audiobook, although from the description it did not seem to be my type. Actually it was highly disturbing to me (the third book specifically), though I first read it at 19. Might've had to do with the fact that I was listening shortly after 'C0v:d' :) I normally like really old books, but your writing style was so engaging it was addicting! And the audiobook was so well done. My family recommends the audios to everyone and we borrow them to anyone we can convince to take them!

Great testimony. Parents need to explain their thought processes to their children if they really want them to learn. (But then, so many Christian parents can't even competently express spiritual thoughts to begin with...)

Very engaging, especially tying in the stories. Looking forward to more episodes!

Excited about this podcast going forward!

I did not think that apathy and flying a fighter jet (and ejecting from it) could all be tied together, but I was impressed by that illustration. It made a lot of sense to me. I agree that apathy, as undesirable as it is, can be comfortable. Sometimes we must face one uncomfortable situation to overcome another. The ejection illustration was right on point! That illustration made the most impact for me, but the rest of the podcast was filled with other practical suggestions for understanding and dealing with apathy. Great job!

Great episode today, thanks for the wisdom!

Fantastic. Thank you so much for your wisdom and fun conversation.

Thank you both for another great discussion. As a middle school teacher I see apathy growing in the ranks of youth. One of the major trends that I am noticing among preteens and teens is those who have passion and are focused on moving forward and succeeding even if it means sacrificing personal pleasures are put down and ostracized because they are not joining their peers in their apathy. Unfortunately, most of the youth that I have encouraged to step out and continue moving forward to excellence end up choosing to go the path of their friends and they tank their lives. This is also where gangs come in and bind young people because they promise "the good life" of acceptance and pleasure while draining them of vision and passion for good things that will benefit the world around them. Even though I do not have children of my own, this episode encouraged me with ways I can encourage my students.

The planting a tree illustration has been one of my favorite for a long time. I've typically heard it in the context of procrastination, so the application to apathy was new to me and right to the point as well. I thought the whole podcast was well done.

This podcast is rich with wisdom for those who are struggling with apathy. I especially appreciated Chuck talking about what to do NOW when a person realizes they are in apathy. I needed to hear this since I tend to focus more on my past failures than the new opportunities I have today. What we do now is the only thing that matters. We forget what is behind and press on toward the mark so we can finish well even if we didn't do well before this point. (Philippians 3:13-14; Isaiah 43:18-19)

This series is amazing! We forget that there is always a war raging around us, and Drew's story helps us remember that. Thank you!

Just like in a movie! A secret bookcase that leads to a passageway is so cool. We love your writing!

I love all of your books. God bless you and your family.

I love this series, and now my little brother does too ❤️

Oh I love the loft! That is my dream for my future house. Thank you so much for sharing about your book! I can't wait to read it.

Book is epic

My family and I love this series!! We have the books and the audiobooks, which are very nicely done. I wonder still, if there will every be a movie for these?? Maybe through Angel Studios, like The Chosen!!! It would have my vote & funding!
