Christian A. Dickinson is an author, speaker, and the President & CEO of Learning Engineered Publishing, a company dedicated to faith-based storytelling through children's books, devotionals, leadership resources, and magazines. He has spent years writing, teaching, and mentoring, but one day, he asked himself a question: "Was Jesus actually. funny?" That question led him on a deep dive into Scripture, history, and early Christian art, where he discovered something surprising: Jesus wasn't just the greatest teacher the world has ever known-He was also witty, engaging, and unexpectedly funny. Dickinson is the author of multiple books, including It's Great to Be a Grenadier: 7 Lessons in Leadership and How to Raise Better Humans. He has also co-authored FULL CIRCLE 360: A Devotional for Athletes and has collaborated with his wife, Morgan, on illustrated children's books like Fruits of the Spirit for Kids and How to Be a Super Human. His research for this book led him to early depictions of a smiling Jesus (Ante Pacem by Graydon F. Snyder) and modern science on how laughter literally heals the brain.

But his real "aha" moment came from The Chosen, where he saw Jesus portrayed as both deeply divine and deeply human-full of warmth, wit, and joy. When he's not writing, publishing, or mentoring, you can find him brainstorming his next big idea over a strong cup of coffee, debating the best historical portrayals of Jesus, or secretly laughing at his own dad jokes. He believes that if Jesus were here today, He'd still be teaching through humor, flipping tables-and yes, making His disciples laugh along the way.
