On this episode host Mike Nawrocki welcomes new co-host for 2025 Tricia Goyer along with her son Nathan Goyer to talk about their new book, Breath of Bones, book 1 in The Clockwork Chronicles Series.

Kateřina Dubová has always aspired to walk in her father's footsteps as a respected journalist, and the Second World War presents a unique opportunity for her to prove her worth to the world. A tip about an assassination attempt on a high-ranking Nazi official, Reinhard Heydrich, the "Butcher of Prague," leads Kateřina into the shadows of the Nazi occupation. Soon she discovers things are not as they seem.

As intrigue unfurls, Kateřina joins forces with Josef Loew, a descendant of the famous Rabbi Loew, renowned for creating a mystical guardian in the form of a golem to protect the souls of 16th-century Jews in Prague. In the chaos of war, some believe a new golem can once again bring help to those in need.

Like flickering candles in the abyss, Kateřina and Josef work to protect the innocent and end the evil that plagues their world. Yet, in their quest to save the Jewish people, have they inadvertently created a new danger? Could the very entity they had forged to protect become their greatest enemy?

Tricia Goyer writes out of her passion for God and her love for family and others. The author of more than 70 books, she writes both historical fiction and nonfiction related to family and parenting.

This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Sarah Humphrey talk with author Dr Teresa Roberts about her new book Raising Disciples.

Every child—from infancy to adolescence—is being discipled by someone or something. The question is: Are you willing to disciple them for Jesus’ sake?

Accessible and actionable for parents of children birth to 13 years old, Raising Disciples offers a detailed discipleship map and directional markers to nurture your child’s spiritual growth with Christ.

During her more than 25 years in children’s ministry alongside her academic work training up children’s ministry leaders, Dr. Teresa Roberts noticed that parents and even children’s ministry leaders seemed to struggle with knowing how to disciple children past the more-intuitive preschool ages. A foundational family and ministry resource, Raising Disciples reflects the developmental needs that will empower children to grow in their knowledge of God’s Word, develop a vocabulary of faith, engage in spiritual practices, and cultivate a deep, personal relationship with God. Featuring intuitive, quick-reference visual aids, researched expertise, real-life examples from the ministry of Jesus, and relational warmth, Raising Disciples is a must-have resource to give you a discipleship pathway for raising spiritually grounded children in today's complex world.

Includes additional tools:

• Discipleship map from birth to adolescence
• Discipleship reference by age level
• Resource list for continued discipleship and training in biblical interpretation
• Discussion questions for children’s ministry leaders and volunteers



Learn how to equip your child with tools to navigate life’s challenges and make their Christian faith a personal and lasting commitment.
