Host Phil interviews author Andrew McDonough who has written a series of fun children’s books. He tells familiar Bible stories in a humorous and kid-friendly way.
Andrew McDonough is the creator, writer, and illustrator of the Lost Sheep series. Way back in 1989 as a young Bible college student, Andrew was asked to give the dreaded "children’s talk" at a large church.
Andrew possessed one talent: he could draw sheep. He brought some overhead projector sheets and drew up the story of Cecil the Lost Sheep. The congregation loved it, so Andrew continued to draw stories to use with kids and adults.

Terri chats with Paul who, with his wife Jessica, has seven children and has been involved in foster care since 2008.
Paul’s passion in foster care and adoption stems from the prophetic dream of making abortion unthinkable and seeing the hearts of fathers turn to the children (Mal. 4:5-6; Lk. 1:17).
