Mission
Watchfire Media is dedicated to telling good stories through books curricula and films that help us envision the world that could be. We want young people and their adults to walk comfortably with the big questions of spirituality and meaning to be awed by the beauty of the world and to be committed to love kindness courage and justice. We are the publisher of Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints Dear Mama God and the upcoming The Wren Magazine for tweens and teens.

Watchfire Media continued to publish our books Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints and Dear Mama God and their companion curricula. We developed a new curriculum for Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints called Part II: We Are Made of Stories & Stardust. It focuses on the importance of the stories we tell individually and collectively and helps youth identify the stories told by 11 additional holy troublemakers and unconventional saints so they can find those that resonate with them and want to share or retell in their own ways.
Watchfire Media began development of a new nature magazine for kids called The Wren Magazine. This is a beautifully handcrafted soul-nourishing publication for tweens teens and their families that invites readers to slow down look closely and rediscover joy gladness and wonder in the everyday world. It helps families cultivate mindful rhythms and home-based practices rooted in attentiveness gratitude and curiosity about the natural world.
