Insightful Christmas
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
It's the holiday season and the residents of Bickers Pond are busy getting things ready for Christmas. Zeke, Elliot and Gerite have formed a Christmas committee to make sure all the activities run smoother this year. But you’ll hear all about that in our Christmas episode coming up in a couple of weeks. Because they are all so busy making plans and decorating the Ponds Christmas tree, we decided it would be best to leave them alone this week so they can get their work done. We’ll hear from all the critters next week. But don't you worry, in today's episode we are going to have an extended version of Insightful Information. Listen in, you may learn some interesting facts about Christmas.
With: Kandy Keller, Kelly White, & Leah Busick

Our Mission!
To share Biblical values through fun & engaging STORY! Not too cheesy...not too serious. Just stories that will be trustworthy to biblical foundations, excellent in quality and entertaining!
The Creators
As grandmothers, mothers, teachers, leaders, sisters and aunts, we don’t like what the world is teaching our children.
Our desire is for them to have strong faith in God, the Bible and what the Lord is leading them to do.
We want parents to trust they can let their children listen to Zeke and Elliot without fear of what might be said or done.
As children’s ministry workers for most of our lives, we have a combined experience of over 100 years.
