How a Chicken Egg Became a Lesson on the Trinity-God is Three in One Backstory

Host Jennifer Bosma records this Easter-weekend episode of the Front Parking Spot podcast from her home in Neptune Beach (you may hear neighborhood sounds) to share the backstory of her third children’s book, God Is Three in One. She explains how a simple question from her four-year-old granddaughter — “Who’s the Holy Spirit?” — and a chicken-and-egg analogy sparked the idea of teaching the Trinity to kids.

Jennifer walks listeners through her creative and spiritual process: noticing the egg analogy in her granddaughter’s backyard, praying on the idea, and how the manuscript poured out in rhyme. She explains why Acts and Genesis appear in the book, how she structured it in three voices (God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit), and how she incorporated scripture and a further-study page to help parents and older children explore the doctrine more deeply.

The episode highlights key collaborators: illustrator Beth Snider (whose artwork Jennifer praises for sensitively representing the subject), pastors and other reviewers who helped ensure biblical accuracy, and TLC for book design. Jennifer also shares that God Is Three in One won third place in the 2025 Christian Market Book Awards from the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association.

Listeners hear Jennifer read selections from the book, see how the rhyming cadence invites children to join in, and learn why the book is recommended for ages 3 and up. She emphasizes that the story sparks meaningful, age-appropriate conversations about faith and that the back matter (definitions and study notes) is especially useful for parents and teachers.

Practical details are included: how to order a copy (direct from jenniferbosma.com for the special inside-cover content, via Endgame Press, or through Amazon and Barnes & Noble), and Jennifer’s encouragement to use the book as a tool for family devotion and Easter teaching. The episode blends personal anecdote, a live reading, and takeaways for parents who want a gentle, biblically grounded way to introduce the Trinity to young children.
