Throwback...(for some of us WAAYYY back!) to some top favourite kid’s Christian music and movies:
Before Rend Co Kids...before Hillson kids...even before Silly songs with Larry...there was a time in history where church kids everywhere were praising Jesus and grooving along with songs and movies that those grown-up-kids-now still remember. Time to pass the torch to the next gen!
This week I posted on a Facebook group I’m in to start a thread of oldies but goodies from our childhood days. The post asked for Christian music and CD’s (or cassettes) or movies and DVD’s (or VHS’s) that we loved growing up. I decided to write them out in a post with clickable links so you can save this and jump to your favs whenever you want!

At the top of the list:
1. Adventures in Odyssey
It doesn’t feel like all that much of a throwback when they’re still so popular, but this series of Audio and Video stories have impacted families all over the world since 1987.

2. Hide Em In Your Heart by Steve Green
Both volumes 1 & 2 are filled with Bible verses us kids used to sing along to and the verses have carried with us into adulthood! They were available in both audio only and video and were a favourite for so many.
· Available to listen for FREE on Youtube, Spotify, Google Play Music, Deezer

3. Accapella Children by the Accapella Company
My personal favourite and a popular choice! Groove and sing to audio with the meaningful lyrics and precious voices of these Accapella youth.

4. The Donut Man by Rob Evans
Sing and watch with Duncan the Donut and singer/songwriter Rob Evans as he shares songs about Jesus in his well known (or used to be well known) children’s movies.

5. Jungle Jam the Radio Show by Fancy Monkey Studios
Most requested tapes on our car trips growing up were the Jungle Jam cassettes. Teaching good morals in a fun way with a whole bunch of hilarious animal friends was the perfect blend of Jesus and humour to make it a favourite I still want in my home.
