Lightgliders is a story that teaches!

Lightgliders serves as a parable created to impart a biblical worldview and to help kids everywhere recognize that they were uniquely made to shine! Every kid gets to create their own Lightglider character and enter into the story. Lightgliders have three primary goals – to RESPECT themselves and each other, to RESCUE the Gliddles from the Machines, and to RESTORE the land from the blight. The overarching story and characters are used to point to the Far Greater Story of God's love for us revealed in the Bible and to teach the five values of a Lightglider – purpose, humility, confidence, hope, and love.

Lightgliders is a discipleship tool for families and ministries to children!

Everything in Lightgliders is designed to:

1. Teach a biblical worldview and values
2. Encourage prayer and reflection
3. Impart a vision for service

WHY

Why was Lightgliders created?

Lightgliders was created to impact kids in a way they'll love!

Lightgliders was created to provide a safe, positive alternative for kids' screentime and gameplay that can be used to encourage transformational conversations during the critical pre-teenage years. Lightgliders seeks to address the following realities:

• The Digital Generation - Digital experiences are shaping young lives as kids are spending hours each day in front of their devices.
• The Critical Younger Years - Fundamental perspectives on truth, morality, purpose, and faith are firmly in place before age 13.
• The Need for Conversations - Kids are greatly impacted by meaningful conversations with those who care about them the most.

Lightgliders offers a fun way to encourage thought and discussion about what a biblical worldview is, how it credibly answers life's most important questions, and how it substantiates positive values.
