The Surprising Future of Family Friendly Content (with John, Paula and The Chosen’s Dallas Jenkins

One of our challenges as a family is finding really good programming that’s not only compelling, but it’s safe for us to watch with our whole crew. This is something we hear from a LOT of families. 

So, John and I invited Dallas Jenkins (Director/Creator) to the show to discuss our favorite holiday movies and family shows and why he’s saying, “He’s never seen anything like it” when it comes to the future of family-friendly programming. 

Happy Holidays, family.
