Creator Q&A

Tell us about yourself

Welcome to Lamplighter, where we are making ready a people prepared for the LORD! The words “ready” and “prepared” are the heartbeat of our mission. These words in Greek represent inner character development and external career excellence.

We’d like to introduce to you our collection of audio dramas along with a colorful cast of characters who live out a biblical worldview centered around four truths:

  1.    God is good.

  2.    God works all things together for good.

  3.    God keeps His promises.

  4.    God allows suffering to grow our character so we can experience His love.

Steeped in these biblical themes, each Lamplighter book and audio drama demonstrates how “suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope, and hope never disappoints, because God’s love is gushed out into our lives” (Romans 5:3-5).

As you engage in these life-transforming stories, you’ll experience the Word of God as it was intended, for it is alive and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword! In a day and age when Hollywood and social media have captured the hearts and minds of our children, it is our goal that each reader and listener be inspired to know God intimately, proclaim Him passionately, and enjoy Him infinitely!

God bless,

Mark Hamby M.S., M. Div., Th. M., D. Min.

What inspired you to make this title(s)?

It's a long story, but the short answer is quite simple: God!

"We hope that this content inspires them to know God intimately, proclaim Him passionately, and enjoy Him infinitely"

Who do you imagine listening to your audio?

All ages. We hope that this content inspires them to know God intimately, proclaim Him passionately, and enjoy Him infinitely.

Is there anything different about making audio for Yoto listeners?

We love how Yoto uses technology to help kids become world changers - taking a refreshing break from "screen time" and enabling them creatively, artistically, and imaginatively.

What’s next?

We are recording two new audio dramas soon and will be, Lord willing, recording two to four audio dramas each future year!

New to Yoto?

Our carefully connected speakers put kids in control of their listening, learning and play. No cameras. No microphones. No ads.

It's a friendly community where they have space to share content for free, build an audience and get feedback.
