Every story has a beginning- and so does this one.

Welcome to the very first episode of Behind the Story with A.R. Simpson! In this episode, I share the heart behind this new journey, introduce myself, and read Chapter One of my middle-grade Christian adventure novel, Lost Beneath the Pines.

After the reading, I'lll take you behind the scenes of becoming an independent Christian author, talk about the role faith has played in my life, and share the vision for this podcast. We'll also explore family, homesteading, writing, publishing, and the ways God faithfully leads us through life's storms.

Whether you're a reader, writer, parent, fellow believer, or simply looking for encouragement, I'm grateful you're here.

I'd love to hear your story, too. If God has worked in your life or maybe you want to share the story of how you came to have a relationship with Christ- you may hear it featured in a future episode.

**Thanks for listening, and remember: every story begins somewhere...and God is writing yours too.**
