I’m 64 years old now, and I gave my life to Jesus when I was 54. For nearly 40 years, I was addicted to drugs—mainly crack cocaine. Though I was raised in a Christian home, I rejected faith early on. I started using marijuana and alcohol at 16, then moved on to using and selling cocaine by 19.
The stories we grew up with have a way of hanging on. Like old friends, they settle deep in our hearts, shaping us, nudging us, becoming part of who we are. This is the second part of our series highlighting people who have poured their lives into creating meaningful media for children. You will hear how… Rick, a recording artist who was invited to make worship music for kids. And Mr. Jim, who discovered his calling through circumstances he once wished away.
Let me guess—you still remember your favorite episode of a show you watched growing up. Or maybe you could recite your favorite childhood book by heart. Kid’s media has a way of shaping us. Today, we’re spotlighting people who’ve dedicated their lives to creating meaningful media for kids. You’ll hear how: Katie’s voice-acting was often supernaturally similar to real life. (Katie Leigh is the voice actor of Connie Kendall from Adventures in Odyssey!) Amanda fought fear in order to follow God’s plan. (Amanda Jass worked on the Go Bible for Kids! Go Bible — Amanda Jass) A lifelong comic fan creates a graphic novel showing kids how Scripture points to Jesus. (Matt Mikalatos has amazing writings and art on his ebsite: Matt Mikalatos: Welcome!)
The ocean is powerful and mysterious, just like our God. So, what can the ocean teach us about our creator? Today on Wow God Stories, you'll hear how… Joseph shattered his leg while surfing and was later miraculously healed. Will and his rowing team capsized in the middle of the ocean, but God already had a rescue plan. And Rachel thinks if fish can represent their creator, so can you.
