About
Stephen M Robinson

I have served the Church in several ways throughout my life: teacher, youth minister, janitor, pastor, elder, deacon, and biblical counselor. Today, I still actively serve our Lord’s church as an elder and biblical counselor. My wife, Sharon, and I also have the privilege of walking alongside engaged couples through pre-marital counseling. My three main loves in life are:
– My Lord, Jesus Christ
– My wife and family
– God’s holy Church

For years, my work has centered on teaching Scripture, counseling, and walking alongside others as they seek to live faithfully before the Lord. In that work, I’ve seen something again and again: sound doctrine is not meant to stay in the mind — it is meant to shape the heart and guide everyday life. That conviction now shapes my writing. I write to make biblical truth clear, accessible, and lived — written for believers who want to understand Scripture more deeply without needing a theology degree to do it. Whether through teaching or storytelling, my goal is the same: to help Christians understand God’s Word and live it out more faithfully.

Christ Himself used story to explain gospel principles. He called them parables. The Bible itself is another example. It is filled with true-life stories that are intended to teach us of God’s love and His expectations for our lives. The stories of Adam and Eve, Abraham, Noah and the flood. They all have vital information teaching us who God is and who we are. Stories have always been an effective way to convey truth and engage the heart. I am attempting to do both in my writing.

Stories, in particular, have a way of reaching places that explanation alone sometimes cannot. They allow us to see truth lived out—through struggle, through growth, and through the quiet work of God in ordinary people.

The Brave Squire is my attempt to do the same for young readers. It is a story about courage—not the absence of fear, but the willingness to do what is right in spite of it. It reflects a truth I have seen in Scripture and in life: God often works through those who feel the least capable. I wrote it with parents in mind as much as children — hoping it sparks conversations about courage, faith, and character around the dinner table.

I live in Tennessee with my wife, Sharon. Together, we continue to serve the Lord, seeking to encourage others to grow in Christ through truth, faithfulness, and steady obedience.
