True Fantasy was born out of a simple but profound experience: a group of men opening the Old Testament and being stunned by what they found.
At The Forge men’s Bible study at Faith Community Church in Woodstock, Georgia, teacher Steve Kroening repeatedly watched the same thing happen. Stories that once seemed strange, distant, or difficult began to come alive. The deeper the men studied, the clearer it became that the supernatural element of Scripture is not incidental — it is essential.
Again and again, God was making Himself visible through real events that revealed who He is and how the world truly works. And when the men began to see that, it changed the way they thought and lived.
That insight became True Fantasy.
Why “True Fantasy”?
The word fantasy is often misunderstood. We use it to describe fiction or imagination. But historically, the Greek word phantazein means “to make visible” or “to bring before the mind.”
In that sense, the Bible is the ultimate fantasy.
Not because it is fictional — it is not.
Not because it is myth — it is not.
But because it records how the invisible God makes Himself visible through real, supernatural events in history.
Scripture is the account of divine revelation — the unseen breaking into the seen. God reveals Himself in order to reshape fallen human understanding. He does not merely inform us. He transforms us. Through His revealed Word, He teaches us to see reality as He sees it.
True Fantasy exists to help readers recover that way of seeing.
What This Is (and What It Is Not)
True Fantasy does not reinterpret the Bible.
It does not search for hidden codes or secret meanings.
It does not treat Scripture as symbolic fiction.
It takes the Bible at its word.
From a historic Reformed perspective, Scripture is true, authoritative, and divinely inspired. The supernatural events recorded in its pages are not embellishments — they are revelations. They are how God has chosen to make Himself known.
When we read the Bible this way, its stories are not strange relics of an ancient world. They are revelations of ultimate reality. They show us who God is, who we are, and what the world is for.
And when we believe them, they set us apart. They make us holy — not by moral effort alone, but by transforming how we think.

The Goal of True Fantasy
The goal of True Fantasy is simple:
To help people see that the supernatural stories of the Bible are not obstacles to belief — they are the very heart of it.
They do not merely inspire imagination.
They reveal reality.
They establish the highest possible standard for storytelling because they originate in truth rather than invention. Every story ever told finds its echo and foundation in the greater story God has revealed.
When we learn to see Scripture as God making Himself visible, the Bible is no longer confusing or distant.
It becomes what it was always meant to be:
The truest story ever told.
Our Mission

Our Vision
