Overview

The Shepherd's Voice is a spiritual children's magazine published by the Laestadian Lutheran Church, a conservative Laestadian Lutheran body active in the United States. It is written in English and is aimed at children within the Old Laestadian (vanhoillislestadiolainen) movement in America. The magazine appears between seven and nine times a year, making it a recurring periodical rather than a one-off publication. Its content is religious and devotional, intended to nurture children in the faith and traditions of the Laestadian Lutheran community. The publication is associated with the Laestadian Lutheran Church, which is the American counterpart of the Finnish Old Laestadian revival movement. The magazine is distributed through the church's channels, including an online storefront hosted on a Yahoo store platform. As a niche confessional children's magazine, The Shepherd's Voice serves a specific religious readership rather than the general consumer market. Its Finnish sister publication, Siionin kevät, is a comparable children's magazine within the same movement. The Shepherd's Voice is therefore best understood as a product brand of the Laestadian Lutheran Church's publishing and media ministry, providing English-language devotional reading for children in Old Laestadian congregations in the United States.
