Maverick Minister Kids Podcasts
Welcome to Life Lessons Stories for Kids
I'm Mike Davis, and I'm the Maverick Minister. My partner, Grace Smith and I love to tell stories that inspire children to develop good habits, see ways they can overcome different life challenges, and grow into kind, caring, and self-assured adults.
Like life, some of our stories are happy, some may be kind of sad, some are a lot of fun, but none of them is boring and all of them talk about things and ideas that are great for kids to hear.
So, whether you're a kid, a teenager, a young person, or a grownup who is young at heart, we invite you to relax and listen to the Maverick Minister Life Lessons Stories for Kids.
