Why could not the exact same message be communicated on a video recording of that exact same skit? Not that this should be the only or primary method of communicating truth, but that it CAN simply be an alternate method, and variation. Kids are open to things like that. I don't personally know about the message being communicated through veggie tales, but if a puppet show can bring conviction, why couldn't talking vegetables? I think it would really be beneficial for you and your ministry to consider critically and alalytically what is being introduced. Noone is saying that they are going to resort to puppet shows or vegetable cartoons solely in their efforts to communicate to children, but they may consider it simply as an alternative and variation to some of the other methods they use.
BTW brother, keep us posted as well on the revivals you are having!! Lord bless you my brother!

Thank you for the information Brother and I have no doubt that a child can receive the Gospel message through preaching and teaching and that a child can receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of tongues. As far as the veggie tales goes I am 100% convinced in my mind that not one human being could get the Holy Ghost from viewing it. I appreciate you taking the time to present your thoughts on puppet ministry, but I don't see the pickle preacher having any effect. If talking turnips has had an effect then why are those who watch the videos un-changed?
I don't believe that Veggie Tales has anything to do with Jesus Christ and that's my opinion.
Thank you for the blessing on what we are doing in South Florida and the Lord richly bless you and your ministry.
In Jesus name

How many people do you know who have received the Holy Ghost from watching Veggie Tales? Also since you are asking me to argue this issue with you are you then saying that YOU believe that children and young people can receive the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking with tongues by watching the Veggie Tales?

For myself, I've never managed to sit through an entire Veggie Tale. I don't say that to criticize the Veggies, maybe it's a problem with me.
In any event, two of my nephews got the Holy Ghost after a Sunday School outreach that included a couple of Veggie Tales programs.

I believe that God can do anything He wants. He did use a donkey once, so I guess He can use a talking cucumber and a tomato!
