Family Theater Productions' new puppet series Guillermo & Will, now available on Minno, shows bilingual friends exploring God's world. While preschool kids may not be able to grasp the finer points of theology, two things that resonate with them (and their parents) are exploring God’s world and learning how to make their first friends. That's the goal of the puppet series Guillermo & Will, now available on Christian kids’ streaming service Minno. It's the creation of two accomplished Jim Henson Company puppeteers, and a co-production between Family Theater Productions and Minno. The kid-sized episodes were produced in FTP’s studio on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood and follow the bilingual adventures of two colorful worms who are best pals.

Mother Mary | brokenness | pray the rosary
"I'm just that little shepherd dog," says former radio personality Kevin Matthews, who once ruled the airwaves in Chicago. "If I can get them to God, if I can get them to Christ Jesus, He does the rest. He's the shepherd." Matthews takes a particular route to bringing people to Jesus. First, he urges them to take the hand of His mother. "If I can get all you broken people who need your mom to clean you up," he says, "if I can get them to Mary, she does the rest. And when I say, 'She does the rest,' she sends them to Christ. "We've just got a little conveyor belt happening, and eventually they all get to God, our Father in Heaven." On Oct. 7, for just one night, Fathom Entertainment presents the documentary Broken Mary: The Kevin Matthews Story. It tells the story of just how Matthews came to be what he refers to as "Mary's Roadie."

Critics of religion often claim that those who believe in God lack any rational or logical reasons for their faith. Unfortunately, when challenged, many believers don’t have arguments like that at the ready.
