Phil Vischer

A tomato and a cucumber hold a special place in the hearts of every millennial who grew up watching the animated series VeggieTales.  Birthed from the mind of filmmaker and author Phil Vischer, VeggieTales was created as a way to teach children about God. Alongside co-creator Mike Nawrocki came an iconic television show that transformed the way the gospel could be shared with young children and adults.Phil Vischer joins us to talk about how the freedom given to explore the world as a child, with a Super 8mm camera and Legos, helped to set him on a path of wonder and creativity in forging his place to share Jesus with the world. He also speaks to us about why boredom nurtures creativity and the special meaning of having intergenerational relationships among the young and old within the church.
