The Paws & Tales Paws-cast is available in the following podcast directories: iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, and TuneIn.
Mr. Phil TV
“It all starts with the Bible. We want to bring faith to life for our kids, but it’s hard to make sense of faith until you can make sense of the Bible. So Mr. Phil TV starts with a library of videos that take kids through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Then we meet famous folks from history whose faith shaped the world in amazing ways, to show kids faith in action. And finally, we add a library of Bible study videos that take whole families through key books, together! That’s Mr. Phil TV. A new way to bring faith to life for kids!”
