Fiction & Faith

← Back to About

Pathfinder’s Crumb grew out of two things that matter a lot to us:
sharing food and telling stories.

Some of those stories are about flour and sugar.
Some are about lanterns, crossroads, and long roads through imagined worlds.
Underneath all of it, you’ll see echoes of faith, hope, and the belief that people can change.

We want to be really clear about what that does—and doesn’t—mean.

. . .

Our stories are fiction, not sermons

The worlds, characters, and lore you meet here are made up on purpose:

• They’re meant to spark imagination, not tell you what to believe.

• They may borrow shapes and symbols from real history, faith traditions, and everyday life.

• They are not Scripture, doctrine, or official teaching for any religion.
  
  

If a scene reminds you of something sacred or important to you, that’s okay. Our goal is to honor big questions, not pretend they don’t exist—and also not pretend we’ve solved them all.

. . .

Where faith shows up (and why we don’t hide it)

The person building this world is a follower of The Holy Trinity, and that shapes the kinds of stories we tell:

• You’ll see themes of bread shared at a table, second chances, light in dark places, and choosing a third way when everything feels stuck.

• You may notice moments that feel spiritual, reflective, or “bigger than the page.”
  
  

We don’t want to hide that faith matters to us. At the same time, we are not here to trick, pressure, or “sneak” anyone into anything.

You’re welcome to enjoy the stories purely as fantasy and cozy fiction. If you read deeper meaning into them, that’s between you, your conscience, and whatever you believe.

. . .

Many beliefs, one table

Pathfinder’s Crumb is built on the idea that a table is big enough for many stories and many kinds of people.

That means:

• You’re welcome here if you’re Christian, another religion, spiritual-but-not-religious, agnostic, atheist, unsure, or still sorting it out.

• You don’t have to agree with our personal beliefs to enjoy a cinnamon roll, a book, a dessert, or a piece of lore.

• Our stories may talk about faith, doubt, grief, and hope—but they are never meant to treat any person or group as less than fully human.
  
  

If a story bumps into something close to home for you, you’re allowed to:

• Put it down for a while.

• Interpret it differently than we do.

• Talk about it with friends, mentors, or leaders you trust.

. . .

How to read our world

The simplest way to approach anything you find in this universe:

• Enjoy it as a story first.

• Let the questions it raises be invitations, not demands.

• Keep your own beliefs and boundaries in view while you read.
  
  

If you ever feel unsure about what we meant by something—or you’re worried we’ve crossed a line—reach out. We’re always open to honest, respectful conversation.
