Stories with Jonas and Ken (Jonas Sauder and Ken Kauffman)

It’s Christmas season and here on the Dock School Leader Podcast we’re running a special episode featuring a collection of stories chosen and read by two experienced educators that have appeared before on this show—Jonas Sauder and Ken Kauffman. Their selections range from fables to short stories to poems and all convey a timeless truth through the penetrating power of story. Take a break from the heavier content and enjoy these selections with us.

What we read often sticks with us at a subconscious level. Stories have the power to embed their message deep within us. They shape our worldview and affect our actions even after we’ve forgotten the details.

See below for the titles of the selections and the timestamps for each one.

Perhaps you’ll find something here for an upcoming devotional or a story time with family over the holidays.
