Once again, Playful World Ministries brings weekly adventures with lots of laughter to delight your family and bring glory to The Maker!
Our Season One featured Max, the Scottish Terrier, Liz the brilliant French cat and animals from all over the world, making their journey to and aboard Noah’s Ark in, “The Ark, the Reed, & the Fire Cloud,” by Jenny L, Cote.
In Season Two, we turned our attentions to Colonial America, with Jenny L. Cote’s “The Voice, the Revolution, & the Key,” as Max, Liz, and the entire Epic Order of Seven animals encountered some of the biggest names of the American Revolution – before they were all that big! Like Patrick Henry - who went from a precocious boy in colonial Virginia to the very “Voice of the Revolution.”
Season Three took us back to bible times with the incredible life of Joseph, with Jenny L. Cote’s “The Dreamer, the Schemer, & the Robe.” Rejected by his jealous brothers and sold into slavery in Egypt, Joseph’s life became a roller coaster of good versus evil, of dreams and of schemes, until ultimately becoming Pharaoh’s right hand man! All to bring about God’s amazing purpose for good!
We now present Season Four, featuring the audiobook, “The Prophet, the Shepherd, & the Star,” written by Jenny L. Cote and read by Denny Brownlee. Our Epic Animals take a 700-year mission that culminates with the Babe in a manger - God in the flesh! And of course, each podcast episode will bring the usual, eh, “commentary" from your hosts Max, Liz, and Nigel! With special guest appearances, insights from our author Miss Jenny, and feedback on your letters, our weekly adventure will continue to have your whole family laughing along with us! Enjoy!
