About Parables From Pearls

Welcome to Parables From Pearls, the tabletop role-playing game actual play that is directly inspired by Biblical scripture. Have you watched some of these fantasy story-telling games, and felt like cringing when a piece of adult content emerged out of nowhere? Do you feel nervous about letting your child listen or watch shows like these, since there are questionable influences at play? Do you want to just relax, and listen to a Christian alternative to this immersive and imaginative genre of entertainment? Then I bid you welcome to Parables from Pearls, and invite you to join me on a journey of discovery as we use the wondrous truths of the Holy Bible to create tales of adventure, intrigue, and drama. Note: while this show uses the Holy Scriptures as inspiration for its stories and characters, it is not intended to be used as a replacement for a genuine Bible study. (My knowledge of scripture is after all, limited.) I recommend that in order to better understand the truths contained in the Bible, you visit a church in your area that focuses on studying the Holy Scriptures and teaching its principles. One such church is Journey Baptist Church @ The Junction in St. Joseph, MO. If you live in that area, please come and visit!

episode Chapter Three artwork

Chapter Three

When last we left our heroes, they had begun a pursuit of the captain of a rag-tag group of bandits. The company suspects that this fellow has some connection with a more dangerous villain whom they have been sent to hunt down. The pursuit is short, and the company manages to catch the bandits while they are divided. Some of them are disgusted with the captain, whom we discover is named Cullen, and his dubious nature. It is at that moment that Cullen reveals his ruthlessness by outright murdering one of the dissenters. A sharp fight breaks out as the company moves to rescue the remaining dissenters from Cullen’s wrath. The company emerge victorious, but at a terrible cost. Celepharn the Ranger has been wounded twice by Cullen, and is lying at death’s door. His fate now lies in the hands of Myrtle, the anxious Hobbit from the Shire.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
