Working, taking care of the household & ensuring that the kids have done their homework is quite an achievement!
It seems that, when every mum and dad’s day to day life is so busy, activities that should be in the core of a Christian family’s life tend to be neglected. When was the last time you sat down with the children, and had a conversation about Jesus and His teachings? Or about Christian values like forgiveness and love? If you can’t remember when that was, this article’s for you.
Being parents ourselves, we have understood that, no matter how hard you try to make time for everything, sometimes it’s just impossible. Raising a child is one full time job, and equipping them with all the spiritual warfare they need to have in order to navigate the world as Christians is another. Wouldn’t it just be wonderful to know that, whenever you have no time or energy for a Bible Study with the kids, you could just turn on your TV and let them watch an inspirational and biblically accurate series?
That’s what we thought when we curated the kids’ shelf on our platform. There, you can find uplifting and stimulating content that the children can safely watch. We hope that you enjoy it, and that it becomes the starting point for some interesting conversations about Christian life and faith.

I Believe
Brian, a 9-year-old boy, experiences a miraculous encounter with God. This sparks his interest and makes him want to discover more about what Christians believe in. However, his environment, and particularly his atheist father, is opposed to the idea of Christian faith.
But Brian meets two deeply faithful people along the way. His new companions in his faith journey become the pastor of a local church, as well as a wounded US veteran. ‘I Believe’ is a story about the power of pure, uncompromising faith, as well as about all the remarkable ways in which God works.
The Adventures of Ociee Nash
“The adventures of Ociee Nash” is set in the early 1900s. Ociee Nash is a 9-year-old girl living with her father and her two older brothers. Thinking that she needs the influence of a woman in her life, her father decides to send Ociee to live with her aunt in South Carolina. On her way there, Ociee meets lots of famous people, like Nellie Bly, Orville and Wilbur Wright, and even President William McKinley.
The film is based on the award-winning book ‘A Flower Blooms on Charlotte St’, by Milam McGraw Propst. If series like ‘Little House on the Prairie’ are up your street, then this film is an absolute must-see.
