David (animated movie)

Now Streaming
and Available on DVD

Movie synopsis via Angel: From the songs of his mother’s heart to the whispers of a faithful God, David’s story begins in quiet devotion. When the giant Goliath rises to terrorize a nation, a young shepherd armed with only a sling, a few stones, and unshakable faith steps forward. Pursued by power and driven by purpose, his journey tests the limits of loyalty, love, and courage—culminating in a battle not just for a crown, but for the soul of a kingdom.

I wanted to share this with those of you who said you were waiting to watch this once it hit streaming... good news, it’s available now!

Holidayscapes - Christmas Music

If any of you recently read Jim and Jane's heartwarming exchange in comments (see here) regarding the Christmas Music Channel, Holidayscapes, I just wanted to share that you can find this festive music channel on Frndly (with a subscription) and on Pluto Streaming (for free!)

I must say... I was decorating a smaller Christmas tree in one of the bedrooms the other day and as some of my family gathered around to hang the little ornaments, I turned the TV station to this channel, and the nostalgic songs that played with the backdrop of Christmas scenes touched all of our hearts in such a joyful, meaningful way.

If you'd like to check out the free version of the Holidayscapes channel, visit the Pluto website here:

🌟Christmas Advent Week 2 + See Danica McKellar and Bill Abbott's Interview on TBN's Praise🌟 SEE HERE:

Merry Christmas, Everyone! Advent Week #2 is upon us this Sunday! Oh, what a joyous, glorious time!

On this 2nd Sunday of Advent, we are awaiting God's promise, His Son, Jesus, with preparation and expectation! This second candle we light represents peace, the Prince of Peace! Christ came to offer himself in our place and die for our sins. By faith, we can receive His Son, and as Romans 5:1 tells us, we can "have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Great American Pure Flix recently posted this inspirational, uplifting video in celebration of Advent with actor Lucas Black, who you may recognize from shows like NCIS, NCIS: New Orleans, or his Great American Pure Flix films: Legacy Peak and Birthright Outlaw.

My first memory of Lucas is from a movie called Flash, released in 1997! Lucas portrayed a 14 year old boy, who rescues a horse from an abusive owner. Unfortunately, I haven't seen this movie for years, but it was so powerful, I still remember it with great fondness, and Lucas' acting, even as a young boy, was not only memorable, but phenomenal. I hope in addition to making movies for Great American Pure Flix, we will also see him on Great American Family one day!

In the video below, Lucas Black reads the scripture John 1:14 and shares how those words touched his heart this Christmas...

What a beautiful message about God's amazing love - that He sent His Son, Jesus, to live among us! Jesus is truly the BEST Gift of Christmas - when we choose to receive Him in our hearts!

May we all feel God's love and share this incredible joy of knowing God's peace with others this Christmas!

Are you familiar with the program Praise, which airs regularly on TBN?

If not, here are some details on the show via TBN's website: "On the air since 1973, Trinity Broadcasting Network's flagship ministry and talk show Praise is one of the most recognizable — and most-watched — Christian programs in the world. Hosted by TBN’s own Matt and Laurie Crouch along with other popular personalities, Praise features the best in contemporary Christian music and worship, fresh and impacting ministry voices, engaging interviews from a wide variety of guests..."

On Thursday, December 7th, 2023, TBN aired an all-new hour long interview with actress Danica McKellar and Great American Media's CEO Bill Abbott on TBN's Praise, hosted by Matt and Laurie Crouch. Of course, the main highlighted topic was about creating quality movies with faith and wholesome content the entire family can enjoy. You will also be blessed to hear Danica's testimony and how she discovered her faith with guidance from her dear friend, Candace Cameron Bure.

Here's a direct link to watch the interview.

As you can see in the image above, the Praise set is incredible! Huge! I loved seeing images from various Great American Family movies floating around on the big screen behind them as they spoke.

Please Note: In order to watch this interview, you will have to create an account with a password, or TBN will send a link to your email; it is completely free to sign up through whichever option you choose. You can watch this program on your computer or mobile device. I also have the TBN app on my Roku, so I was able to watch the program directly on my TV.

I hope you will enjoy this delightful interview as much as I did!

God's blessings to you all!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

I wanted to be sure you all caught this wonderful interview (see videos below) of Candace Cameron Bure with her big brother, Kirk Cameron, as they share their own cherished Christmas memories, behind-the-scenes details of Candace's Christmas movie, A Christmas...
