Kids, through forms of media like Disney and other big movies, they’re taught that they ought to follow their own hearts, their own dreams, their own aspirations, do whatever makes them happy or their dream career, and then bring Jesus and the Bible into that. But scripture really has a totally different narrative. We ought to follow Christ first and foremost with our lives, to implore Him, what would He have us do with our lives, and then pursue that. That is really the ultimate adventure and that’s the most joy-filled and content-filled life.—Hudson Wild Join Hudson as he talks about growing up in South East Asia as a missionary kids with his 3 brothers and how God used their love for adventuring and recording it to help them launch Wild Brothers TV, an interactive streaming app and streaming TV app that you can safely use to not only entertain your kids, but, educate them as well!

Character cannot thrive with injustice, nor can equality be achieved through prejudice.” —Bryan Osborne CRT is something that has worked it’s way not only into our secular world and schools, but, also our churches and Christian world.
