If you’re feeling the stress of trying to find high-quality, safe entertainment for your kids while also guarding against a variety of unhealthy forms of media, you’re not alone.
Christian moms in the U.S. who site digital content as one of their top 3 struggles when it comes to guiding their children’s spiritual formation

We at Group Lore believe that you shouldn’t have to choose between high-quality and high values when it comes to media and entertainment.
We ABSOLUTELY LOVE the stories we produce and are confident that each one will speak life into every young person who experiences them. That said, the stories that teach us the most are often found at the end of a winding road of heartbreak, loss, danger, and a series of poor decisions. We also know that every parent, ministry leader, and educator has specific criteria for what they deem safe for the young people in their lives. To that end, we want to share the principles that guide our content.
OUR VALUES MATRIX:
We view the Bible as God’s roadmap for life and guide for the moral compass of our stories.
Our stories are designed to inspire, but that inspiration does not ignore the brokenness of our world.
With respect to those who disagree, our stories will promote a Biblical view of male and female relationships and sexuality.
If concerned, we encourage parents, ministry leaders, and educators to review our stories prior to sharing with their youth.
Our rating system is informed by caring adults and professionals who help us determine the best age-range for our content.
We want to honor each person who comes across a Group Lore product with the transparency of knowing that our stories are morality tales anchored in the Christian faith. To that end, here’s a brief statement that summarizes what inspires our work:
As a group of Christian creators, our work is fueled by a passion for life and our gratitude for the God who makes that life possible. We are setting out to tell stories that stir something inside the hearts and minds of readers–causing them to look up and wonder if there might be a God out there who’s willing to move heaven and earth to reconnect with them. And when our story is over, our hope is that those readers will know the answer to that question.
Really good question. Much like Jesus’ practice of going to the “Marketplace” to connect with people where they are vs where might be more convenient, we simply want to create tools that connect with young people where they are vs where we might prefer they be.
Our flagship story The Way, is rated at a 12yr and older rating, which means that the romance level will be limited to boy-girl flirtation and on rare occasions a kiss.
Our flagship story The Way, is rated at a 12yr and older rating, which means that the violence within the story will include weapons, fighting, action violence. Also, because so many young people are dealing with great amounts of loss over the past several years, there will be character deaths within the story so as to create space for discussions around the weight of such loss.
A Guild Pass grants access to our illustrated adventure series, featuring both Ty and Liv’s stories. Each episode concludes with thought-provoking questions that delve into moral, theological, and philosophical themes. Your group — or “Guild” — can discuss these questions and collectively decides the characters’ next steps!
Starting a Guild is simple:
Get a Pass: Choose the appropriate Guild Pass for your group size.
Access the Portal: Log in to our Partner Portal for resources and guidance.
Dive into the Story: Read the episodes together.
Engage in Discussion: Use the provided questions to foster meaningful conversations.
Make Decisions: Vote as a group on the characters’ choices, influencing the story’s direction.
Our content is designed for youth aged 14 and up. The stories tackle real-life challenges — like loss, fear, and identity — through a Biblical lens. We encourage parents and leaders to preview the material to ensure it aligns with their group’s needs.
After purchasing a pass, you’ll receive login credentials to our Partner Portal. From there, you can access the full adventure, including all the latest episodes, discussion guides, and additional resources to support your group’s experience!
We’re excited about what we’ve built so far, but we’re still a really young company having been founded in 2020.
Absolutely! Our digital format is designed for flexibility, making it easy to engage with youth whether you’re meeting in person or virtually.
Group Lore is currently powered by a small, passionate team of indie developers, and we’re crafting each episode with care and prayer.
