Supporting Characters
Caleb and Achsah, Samwise and Aragorn, You and Me
Yesterday I shared how I’m preaching from Joshua, telling the stories of Caleb and Achsah. They are not as famous as Joshua, but they are just as faithful. The Bible is filled with stories of lesser-knowns.
It reminds me of The Lord of the Rings. Frodo is probably the most well-known character. But there are other characters who are equally strong and courageous—maybe even more so than Frodo: Samwise and Aragorn. The story is richer, and victory could not be achieved without them.
For the Christian, Christ is always the hero of the story. Yet it’s amazing that we are given roles to play. And in Christ, even the supporting characters are more than conquerors.

The Dragon Slayer and His Super Special Suit
Read my review and enter our giveaway!
Over on Instagram, I shared two specific reasons why I love The Dragon Slayer and His Super Special Suit: For it’s depiction of a young girl who gets to wear the armor and carry a sword, and for it’s portrayal of transracial adoption.
One of my favorite details is that Lydia—a young girl—gets to wear the suit and carry a sword herself. It’s a simple but powerful reminder that the armor of God is for every child, boys and girls.
I also appreciated how Lydia and her dad are illustrated in a way that reflects the beauty of transracial adoption, echoing Worley’s own story and pointing to the greater truth that God has adopted us into His family. I also have a transracial adopted son, and I am always so proud to share the story of how God made us a family.
