Christian parents are watching their influence fade—schools, media, and tech are shaping their kids more than they are. Nathan and D’Lytha are doing something about it.

Nathan, a set designer for The Chosen, and D’Lytha, a trained musical theater performer, have created a bold, God-honoring kids’ film that combats today’s culture of confusion, rebellion, and moral drift—not with lectures, but through story, music, and truth. Aria Appleton Shines has already won a prestigious award from IVCM!

Aria Appleton is a talented 11 year old girl who will do anything to achieve stardom - even conspire to cheat her best friend out of the lead role in the school musical. When Aria's mother leaves on a two week "business cruise". Aria is forced to stay with her babysitter's quirky, but genuine homeschool family. Through the family's positive influence, Aria begins to have second thoughts about her schemes, but might not be able to stop the events she's set in motion. Through everything, Aria escapes into her imagination to make sense of it all - her imagination, of course, being a variety of fantastic sequences, animation and musical numbers.

Check out the following links, and support good quality God-honoring entertainment for our children!

Hang in there, my friends. We are almost there!

We can't give up now! We are so close!

The latest efforts of the enemy to thwart what God is doing will be crushed in the mighty NAME of JESUS.

This is the season in which we cannot be lukewarm.

We must choose to SERVE and BELIEVE.

BELIEVE.

And take our counter measures.

We must be either hot or cold. There is no in between. No buring our heads in the sand.

This is INDIVIDUAL responsibility.

This is our hour.

And it starts with an investment in our relationships with our God.

Because America will be known as THE PLACE WHERE GOD DWELLS!

MAY ALL WHO READ THIS AND/OR LISTEN TO THIS BE BLESSED BY THE TRUTH OF GOD.

Patty Teichroew is part of A WATCHMAN'S JOURNAL team. She grew up in a Christian home and became a Christian when she was nine years old. She remembers hearing sermons about when God would speak to Moses, Noah, Elisha, David and so many others in the Bible and she would think to herself, if God spoke to people back then, why doesn’t He speak to people now? It wasn’t until she went to Explo ‘72 that she received an understanding of the importance of the Holy Spirit. At this youth gathering, she heard the Lord’s voice for the first time and that was monumental for her. When she returned home she became closer to her boyfriend whom she later married that following year. Years later she became a mother of two. It wasn’t long before she began to hear Him speak to her and He would answer her questions as how to respond to situations in her life. Everyday now she inquires of the Lord and asks Him what is on His heart and He responds to her.

What is your next step in your walk with your Maker? Are you even considering it--considering ways to grow closer to the heart of God?

And who are you aligning with in this season?

There are a lot of messages and angles these days--a ton of voices in the room.

Which one are you listening to?

My sweet brother Ash West is back with me today to process through all the intel in this season. He has a great refresher look at Jonathan and his armor bearer from the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 14, verses 6-23.

Maybe it's a perspective you haven't considered before.

It's sooooo good!

Friendship is a gift our God loves to give us; one He loves to keep on giving. He so enjoys seeing His kids connect!

Our need for friends changes over the years. Our friends change over the years.

At times we are too busy to make them or keep them. Regardless, life is lonely without friends who get us.

We need good ones. Heart ones, who will go deep with us, understand us, and unite with us to form something bigger than ourselves.

Friends that think the way we do are more important than ever before as we navigate this time on earth. We need support! Without it, we can become a little desperate.

My guest today is making it her mission to help the desperately lonely, and those who simply love making new friends, find what they need.

If you have been paying attention to what God has been saying through His people over the last decade, you are particularly excited right now. Because you know you have heard truth. Truth that is relevatory, good, and unfolding. You have been watching the marvelously encouraging words of our God come to life in living color!

We are living in exciting times, my friends! What an honor it is to be alive right now!

What an honor it is to partner with Him, in BELIEVING and SPEAKING!

My sweet friends, and treasures, Diana and Patty, are back today with more encouraging information from our Creator.

I know you will take to heart and soul the beauty of their messages today! And then, knowing you, you will act. Because we are in this together!

Your friends don't have to trust you. Your family doesn't have to believe you. The skeptics in your life and at large don't have to align with what you know.

BUT. God is coming for them.

One way or another.

Do feel seen?

Not just in the physical sense, but emotionally and spiritually?

You matter. And you are seen.

We all need to hear that sometimes.

Today, Lynne Farrell, author of a new 8-week study on this topic joins me to encourage us all.

We all need to feel noticed and understood because we are all part of something bigger than ourselves!

"...Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls.'" Jeremiah 6:16

Looking to the past for our Creator's counsel enables us to find His wisdom painted in living color through the ages.

AND observing His present while engaging with His Holy Spirit enables us to embrace His glorious new.

God is always moving in BIG ways. He is always teaching us something new within the old.

Unless we permit obstacles to lodge on the road He is laying out for us, where bright and shiny objects may lure us away from our intended path. The old and the comfortable may block us too.

Our God is never stagnet. How can our relationship with Him be?

Today, Ash and I talk through some of the ways we navigate the confusion and the mystery of what the Holy Spirit is doing that is new and fresh, while staying grounded in the old.

There are SO many messages and opinions these days. So many prophetic voices. Amen! Though a collective consciousness is arising in His people, there is still a lot of conflicting information.

How do we make sense of it all and stay on the same page with one another?

It starts with an intimate relationship with Him. What happens in your alone moments with your Savior is what will renew your mind, far greater than any attraction designed to intercede.
