Star Spangled Adventures

I was blessed to perform the voices for two roles in the latest Star Spangled Adventures episode. The episode explores the First Great Awakening, which was key to the securing our liberties as a nation. As the Gospel message reached across denominational lines our people came together. As they found freedom in Christ, they yearned for freedom from tyrannical rule. 


It's my earnest prayer that this little animated film will have a part in the rise of the Third Great Awakening that we're seeing as thousands gather on secular universities to worship the Lord, and hundreds at a time are baptized in fountains, pickup beds, and wherever they find water. 


I play the pastor in the opening scene droning on through the genealogies. 

Then I play George Whitefield, one of the catalysts for the First Great Awakening. In this screenshot Whitefield (right) is talking with his friend, a young Benjamin Franklin:

You can watch it for free. It's Episode 37 at LittlePatriotsLearning.com. There you can find lessons based on the First Great Awakening written for students from kindergarten through fifth grade. 


Here's a trailer:

I was blessed to play several voices in an upcoming Star Spangled Adventures film celebrating our nation's history for our SuperCentennial.

The nomination was for the series.

We appreciate your prayers for the team as they work to finish the film.
