Imagine your kids watching shows that not only fail to teach them anything meaningful but also instill poor values and oversimplify important concepts.
It's a constant struggle to monitor what they're watching and find educational content that aligns with your values.
In this episode, I sit down with Jonny Vance, one of the creators of the hit children's show "Tuttle Twins." He shares how the show tackles these issues head-on by teaching kids about freedom, economics, and the proper role of government through fun and engaging storytelling.
We dive into Jonny's fascinating journey from studying genetics to writing comedy and how he ended up creating a show that breaks the mold of traditional children's programming. You'll hear about the incredible success of "Tuttle Twins," including their record-breaking crowdfunding campaign, and how they've managed to make complex topics like inflation and Bitcoin education for young minds.
Jonny also gives us a sneak peek into upcoming episodes, including exciting topics like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the overpopulation myth.
Join us and discover how "Tuttle Twins" is revolutionizing kids' education and why it’s a must-watch for families everywhere.

The rise of Bitcoin and the complexities of digital currencies can seem overwhelming. Many feel left behind, unsure of how to navigate the changes or what to trust.
As governments and banks push for increased control through Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), many fear losing not just financial independence but also the ability to manage resources in a way that aligns with Christian ethics.
Join me in today’s episode as we explore these pressing issues with Samuel Kullmann, a former missionary turned politician and Bitcoin advocate. Born in the UK, raised in Mongolia, and now making waves in Swiss politics, Samuel brings a unique perspective on economic freedom, blockchain technology, and the potential challenges posed by CBDCs.
He'll share his journey from missionary life to advocating for decentralized finance in the Swiss parliament and insights from his latest book, Bitcoin is Freedom.
Tune in and learn why Bitcoin might just be the key to securing your financial freedom in a digital finance era.

Many ministries and non-profit organizations face significant challenges in funding and executing their global missions.
Traditional financial systems often impose restrictions and inefficiencies that hinder the transfer of funds internationally, especially to regions most in need.
As we strive to fulfill our global commission, the limitations of traditional banking, coupled with high fees and regulatory hurdles, can stifle the pace and reach of our ministry work. This not only impacts our ability to support essential missions but also restricts our responsiveness to urgent needs across borders.
In this episode, I'm joined by Ahshuwah Hawthorne, a seasoned missionary entrepreneur who has navigated these waters with innovative solutions. Ahshuwah shares his journey of integrating Bitcoin into the financial strategy of a Christian foundation, highlighting how this digital asset has revolutionized their capabilities to fund and facilitate kingdom work globally.
We delve into practical examples of Bitcoin's impact, from funding church plants to supporting international ministries without the constraints of traditional financial systems. Join us as we explore how Bitcoin can be a powerful tool for ministries looking to expand their impact and operate with financial freedom across the globe.
