Art Ayris: Sharing the story of the Bible through comics
Art Ayris is the CEO of Kingstone Comics and creator of Kingstone Bible, the most complete graphic adaptation of the Bible ever created. He and his team work with comic artists to produce comic books, graphic novels, books and animations about the Christian faith; and the Bible trilogy was nominated as a finalist in the Christian Book of the Year in 2017.
Art created Kingstone Comics to solve a major problem he faced as a pastor, how could he motivate children to be interested in the story of Christianity? After seven years, he published the Kingstone Bible, the story of the Bible told through comics. He has continued to find ways to teach religious history in an interactive and interesting manner and to date, the Kingstone Bible has been translated into 27 languages.
In this episode, Art and I talk about our faith and how we can continue to improve the way we tell our children the story of Christianity. Art explains what motivated him to become a pastor, how to follow your dreams by trusting in faith, and what to make of our failures.
