Creating stories that transform hearts and inspire meaningful change.
Creating stories that transform hearts and inspire meaningful change.
Like ancient mariners who navigated by the stars, we all seek guides through life's deeper waters. Today, we invite you to discover MONK TALES - a unique harbor where stories illuminate paths to purpose and transformation.
MONK TALES charts a transformative journey using nautical metaphors to illuminate spiritual truths. Whether through books that plumb the depths of divine pursuit, screenplays that spark social change, daily reflections from Beer at Jonah's nautical studio, or Beneath the Music and blog posts, each story invites readers to discover how individual journeys of purpose can create meaningful change.
Like waves reshaping a coastline, our spiritual journeys move in divine rhythms of advance and retreat - some cleansing, some bringing new treasures, some carrying away debris. Some waves are gentle, barely touching our feet as we wade in the shallows of initial faith. Others are deeper swells that draw us into profound surrender, while transformative breakers reshape our entire spiritual landscape. Each wave of grace carries us further into the depths of God's Love, emerging from the same vast ocean of Mercy, that calls us ever deeper.
Through our series examining God's journey of Love, Mercy, and Justice, you'll discover stories that bridge divine pursuit with modern challenges, inviting you to explore your own hero's journey while witnessing how personal transformation leads to profound purpose.
Through compelling narratives and carefully crafted screenplays, we create stories that build audience empathy, illuminate social and environmental challenges, and inspire measurable change. Available for option or purchase.
Daily reflections from Beer at Jonah's nautical studio invite you to navigate the depths of human experience and spiritual awakening in a relaxed atmosphere where cold beer hopes to meet warm wisdom..
What if the greatest hero's journey ever undertaken wasn't crafted in mythology or projected on screens, but was God's own odyssey to reclaim His creation? Through our Beneath the Music series, we discover how artists - knowingly or unknowingly - tap into this divine pattern when creating deeply meaningful work. Join us as we explore how popular musical lyrics often reveals spiritual truth hiding in plain sight, waiting to be discovered Beneath The Music.
Sometimes the most meaningful connections happen when someone shares exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. A song that speaks to our situation. A story that brings hope. A perspective that opens new possibilities.
But here's the thing: You know your friends, family, and colleagues better than we ever could. You know their struggles, their questions, their search for meaning. You know when they might be ready for a particular message.
That's where you come in...Message in a Bottle
