Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato recently celebrated their 30th birthday.

It was on December 21, 1993, that Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki, under Big Idea Entertainment, introduced the world to VeggieTales. 

In the series, Bob and Larry lead a variety of fruit and vegetable characters on adventures. They retell stories from the Bible while also biblically teaching life lessons.

The first episode of VeggieTales, 'Where's God When I'm S-Scared?" was released as VHS tape in Christian bookstores in 1993. It was later released on DVD and Blu-ray.

The faith-based movie which debuted on July 4, 2023, shines a light on the fight against child trafficking.

In the process, Tim saved 123 people, 55 of which were children.

Faith-based films are more prevalent than ever. Whether that’s the growing number of Christians entering the faith-based industry or the larger number of Hollywood filmmakers dealing explicitly with religious issues in their films, it's easier than ever to find films that affirm and celebrate religious worldviews with truth and beauty.  

Therefore, it seems like the perfect time to start an annual (hopefully) top ten list of faith-based films.

A young man from Oklahoma has gone above and beyond to make sure kids in his home state and beyond receive a gift this Christmas. 

19-year-old Reed Miller, a college freshman, got the idea to start a toy drive in 2016 when he found out a classmate's family was struggling financially and would have to go without gifts that year.

That year, he hosted the toy drive as part of his 4-H project. It has grown significantly since then. 

This year, Miller had over 200 volunteers come alongside him to help hand out gifts to more than 10,000 children.
