Storytellers With a Message

 Lorrie Grant

Have you ever heard your parents or grandparents tell stories of their life and experiences? I have. I was raised by my grandparents for a good part of my life. I still remember sitting on the porch with my grandfather as he would reminisce. I loved those times and I still hold them precious.

I share those stories of his and some of my own with my grandchildren (my kids have heard them all before and just roll their eyes now)!  But my grandkids, I wanted to share the stories with them so, perhaps, they might just share them with their children and grandchildren when I’m no longer here.

Why am I bringing all of this up? I’m so glad you asked!

Our guest today is Lorrie Grant. Lorrie is a natural born story teller! I’ve read some of her blogs and they are amazing! You get sucked right into the story! Amen!

Lorrie is also an author of three published children’s books, “Why is There an Elephant in My Basement?” “Little White Flies” and “I Am Beautiful Too.”

She is also a podcast host!  Praise God!  Her podcast is called, “Story Tellers with a Message.” Amen!

My first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Lorrie Grant?”

I read on your website that you almost failed Freshman English in college. Is that right?

Can you tell us what first led you into writing?

When I read that on your website, that reminded me of those times with my grandfather, which is why I opened with those comments. Those really are precious memories. I know you’re wanting to pass them on to your children and I think you’re onto something with these books.

Tell us about the book, “Why is There an Elephant in My Basement?”  What is that about?

What is the point of the book? What is the take away for your readers?

What age group are you targeting with your books and your writing?  Who is it you are writing for?

The book, “Little White Flies,” I’ve heard of “Little White Lies,” but what is the “Little White Flies” about?

Your book, “I Am Beautiful Too,” this is a book about self-image and things like that, correct?  How do you communicate that message with this story?

What is coming up next? What books are you working on now?

You are also a podcaster!  Tell us about your podcast, “Story Tellers with a Message?”

How long have you been podcasting?

What is the format and do you have guests?

Lorrie, this is all so interesting. I feel I could talk to you for hours about this stuff. It’s really great.

Lorrie, this has been great. Where can someone order your books? Are they on Amazon?

If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe to do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

Folks, as I started this interview, I told you a story about my grandfather telling me stories, and how I have passed them and some of my life stories and experiences down to my kids and grandkids as well.

That is what Lorrie Grant has done through her writing and her stories are so insightful and they will make you laugh and say, “Me, too!” to some of them. They really are great and they are very easy to read in just a couple of minutes.

I urge you to go to her website and sign up to receive her blog posts. Be sure to check out her podcast by clicking the link below as well. And you most definitely need to order her books. Those links are down below as well. Order copies for your kids, your grandkids, the next door neighbor kids and even for your Sunday School classes. These books are great for reading to a group or individually and they are very impactful in the lessons conveyed through story telling.

Remember, Jesus was a story teller, too. Amen!  And we are talking about His stories 2000 years after the fact!  Be sure to order Lorrie Grant’s books right now and then, possibly sign up to tell YOUR story on her podcast!  Praise God!  Your experiences need to be told too. Amen!

Just use the links down below to order the books and sign up for the blog posts and to get in touch with Lorrie Grant right now. Amen!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
