We had all of our family together at Thanksgiving\u2014or most of our family\u2014and the adults want to have a conversation after we\u2019ve kind of eaten the meal, and you can\u2019t have a conversation when you\u2019ve\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>2:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014got as many as 15 children running around ages one year to fourteen years of age.\u00a0 So, you are looking for something that will get their attention, keep their attention, and be something of value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, we played this children\u2019s animated series that is located in a Cyprus tree on the Sea of Galilee\u2014spectacular!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> The series is located in a\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> It\u2019s located there because it\u2019s about a bunch of birds that each represents a New Testament character. It\u2019s called <em>Iesodo<\/em>, and I am excited that we have one of the executive producers of <em>Iesodo<\/em> with us. Natalie Hankins joins us on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\u00a0 Natalie, welcome to the broadcast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Thank you so much for having me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Natalie is married to Jared. They have three children. She\u2019s a graduate of Pepperdine University and, also, Bob\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014a little drum roll\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> She\u2019s a graduate of my sixth grade Sunday school class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Okay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> All the way back\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> And proud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014when I used to have anywhere from 55 to 70 eleven and 12 year old young people in my class. That was one of the greatest privileges of my life, Natalie. There is a story your mom tells\u2014I wanted to ask you if you could remember it\u2014about one day that you threw yourself across the bed, had a conversation with your mom. She told me about this; and you said, \u201cAll I can think about are the apples.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Oh, the apples. Are you still teaching about the apples?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I\u2019m still teaching about the apples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> \u201cBad company corrupts good morals.\u201d That message was engrained in me because you brought these apples to class, and you had a bag of good apples and one rotten apple. You put the rotten apple in the bag with the good apples, and you showed us how that one rotten apple would rot the other good apples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> We parked those apples together in a sack\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014and put them in a closet for six months. So, what do you think is going to happen\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>4:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014with one bad apple and six good apples?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think the Health Department is going to shut you down, is what I think.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> It was a putrefied applesauce.\u00a0 It was terrible.\u00a0 The kids would all gag, and they\u2019d make fun of it. Anyway, Natalie\u2019s now married, got three kids, and she\u2019s produced this animated cartoon series that really is spectacular. It\u2019s all about the New Testament, about Jesus. Explain what you and your husband and others have put together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Well, we set out to teach families and teach kids the way of Jesus, the message of Jesus, the love, the faith, the forgiveness. We wanted to do it in a way that would reach kids where they are now, and what better way to do that than through cartoons, through their entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Jared, my husband, loves cartoons. I love cartoons, and this just was a perfect match.\u00a0 It was a call that Jared felt the passion to communicate the message of Jesus with kids in a way that they would understand and relate\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>5:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014to because we see them relating to the characters they see on their entertainment now, like <em>Tom and Jerry<\/em>\u2014or whatever cartoon characters they see, they act like. They imitate them.<\/p>\n<p>We want them to get to know Jesus in that way. We want them to see His character, imagine what it was like to live in His world or be part of His flock\u2014as we say now\u2014and see what His disciples would have done and what He really did, the miracles, because we don\u2019t believe they are being given the opportunity to hear those stories enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> This was really burden for you, as a mom, with your own kids. I\u2019m just curious, \u201cDid you sense from the beginning when your first child was born\u2014did you feel the weight of teaching your son about the Scriptures?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Oh, absolutely. I mean we\u2019re called to train up our children in the way they should go, and what a huge job that is as a mom to find the right opportunities to slip it in. I don\u2019t think we take enough of those opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, we hope that this animated series will be a tool that will give parents (the ability) to bring up the conversations\u2014to show them an episode that mimics the Sermon on the Mount. Then, their kids ask, \u201cDid that really happen?\u201d The parents get to interact; and they get to teach in a way, maybe, they wouldn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> When your kids were young and you didn\u2019t have the cartoons available to them, what kinds of things were you doing as a mom to try to engage them in these conversations?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Well, you know I did a Bible study with my boys when they were three and five years old and four and six years old. I loved it. It was precious time\u2014just me and the boys.\u00a0 We would pick one Scripture, and it was our memory verse for the week. I loved those times together. When it came time to do something fun together and have entertainment, of course, we had what was on TV; but we didn\u2019t have good videos that we could put in that I approved of and that they liked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They weren\u2019t really happy with some of the entertainment that\u2019s really popular today. They just didn\u2019t want to watch it. So, I hope now that we have <em>Iesodo<\/em>\u2014and it\u2019s something that families can feel great about putting in because their kids will enjoy it and the moms and dads will approve of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You and Jared worked on this\u2014or have been working on it\u2014for four years. It took a while to produce it. It had over 3,000 illustrators and animators, or artists that worked on putting it together. It really is spectacular, and there are three different DVD\u2019s in the series; but to go all the way back when you had the chance to show your kids the first series you created, take us back to that moment when you and Jared kind of unveiled it for your kids and what happened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> The kids sat down, and what was so neat was that afterward they asked us questions about the episode. It was specifically an episode\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>8:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014that involved the healing of the blind man and Jesus had put mud on the blind man\u2019s eyes. They asked us, \u201cDid Jesus really do that?!\u201d And we said, \u201cWell, He did.\u201d So, for fifteen minutes, we sat around the Bible getting the Scripture reference and talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>I stepped back for a moment and realized this is exactly what I want families to do. I want them to have the opportunity to ask questions and the kids to see a new story from the New Testament that they hadn\u2019t heard about Jesus before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Do you guys have a background in making cartoons? I mean you said you like cartoons, but it\u2019s not every mom and dad who sit down and say, \u201cI wish there were cartoons. Let\u2019s go make some. Let\u2019s go hire 3,000 animators to help us put this together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> No, apart from being cartoon connoisseurs, I\u2019m full-time mom; Jared has a background in video production. But when he felt this call, we really felt like God was part of it and confirmed that this was something He wanted to do because He connected us with\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>9:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014the most incredible production team\u2014really talented people that have worked on popular products that we\u2019ve all seen from Pixar Animation to Marvel, things that\u2014we\u2019re really just blessed to have their talent part of <em>Iesodo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Didn\u2019t one of the animators or producers work on <em>Toy Story 2<\/em> and <em>A Bug\u2019s Life<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes. We have some very talented people working on this. Our director was part of a lot of the Pixar animations.\u00a0 Our producer, also, was an executive at Marvel. Our other producer and writer has produced a lot of films and animated products for kids even in the faith based industry. So, we really are blessed to have these credible people working on our project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Okay, I\u2019ve got ask you the question, \u201cWhy did you use birds?\u201d I mean you could have used whatever you wanted to. I mean we\u2019ve got\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Now, wait. Bears were taken because you\u2019ve got <em>The Bernstein Bears<\/em>, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> That\u2019s right. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You\u2019ve got cucumbers and tomatoes\u2014[Laughter]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Vegetables were taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> They\u2019d been taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> You know we started this with mission to do the animation. Then, we did have the question, \u201cWhat are we going to use? What medium?\u201d About that time, one of our producers and writers, Rob Loos\u2014wonderful man\u2014he had gone to Israel and taken a whole lot of pictures of the beautiful scenery. He noticed that there were a ton of birds passing through; and he thought, \u201cThat\u2019s perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great analogy for the Kingdom of God\u2014every color, every species come from all over. From an animating standpoint, they are easy to move. They have moveable arms, and it just was just a great match. So, now, we have all of our animation set in Israel with the beautiful scenery, all the different colors of birds and varieties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, introduce us to some of the birds and who they represent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Okay, so, our main bird is Iesodo. He is our\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>11:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014representative of the Jesus character. We\u2019ve got Rocky who is a bulbul bird.\u00a0 He is a representative of Peter. Maggie who represents Mary Magdalene\u2014a very sweet bird\u2014a lot of the little girls are liking her. She has a pretty purple headband, and she sings pretty songs. We have the fussy brothers, Jack and Jacob, two pelicans, like James and John and fisherman. I love those two brothers because they fight a lot, and that\u2019s just the nature of brothers, I think.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Reminds you of home, a little bit?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Just a little bit. We help address some sibling rivalry issues\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> There you go. There you go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> \u2014and forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> And everyone loves our Tom character. He is a cute little kingfisher. He\u2019s based on a doubting Thomas, and he is always questioning himself. He has a cute little accent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, earlier you were talking, each of these birds are a character; and they have a personality and kind of a style\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>12:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014of relating to each other, and it represents these biblical characters that we know about. So, you are really introducing Peter and what he was like and the doubting Thomas at that point. You\u2019re really attempting to connect them around who they were as human beings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes. Yes, this is all\u2014we say it\u2019s an allegory. This is like C.S. Lewis did with his Narnia series. We are representing the Bible and staying true to the message of the Scripture. So, all of these characters really embody the essence of what the real characters in the New Testament did.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> How do these cartoons fit into the broader scope of what a parent ought to be doing in terms of passing on faith to the next generation because obviously this isn\u2019t the one stop shop? You don\u2019t just show your kids some cartoons and go, \u201cOh, well, we\u2019ve taken care of their faith training now.\u201d How do you fit this into an overall picture as a mom?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> I think this is just a tool. This is support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is our backup because we need entertainment for our kids. They are part of the generation that needs TV, DVD\u2019s. They love that. They enjoy it. We want this to be something the whole family can participate in; but ultimately, it\u2019s Mom and Dad\u2019s responsibility to be sure that their kids are introduced to the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>I asked my son, my twelve year old, last night, how he feels the Bible is important for young children to know and what parents should be doing to introduce it. He said, \u201cKids need to know what the Bible is. They are going to hear about it the rest of their lives.\u00a0 Parents need to be sure their kids know that God gave us that gift of showing us His preferred way for us to live\u201d\u2014which is so true.<\/p>\n<p>He even referenced some animation that he\u2019s seen\u2014some faith based animation.\u00a0 There are only three of them, and they are really great.\u00a0 It was about angels and demons. I showed it to my kids when they were\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>14:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014six and seven years old, and that stuck with them; and they asked questions about Heaven, about Hell, about the angels. We had really great conversations because of the animation, and they still remember it.<\/p>\n<p>So, we see this animation as just a tool to get the conversation going, to help your kids visualize and imagine the life of Jesus, and to accept that it really did happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You also have some, I guess, they\u2019re teaching tools to assist parents in teaching some of the passages of Scripture that you are animating that help parents pass on the truth\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> We do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014of the Bible to their kids. Explain what your goal is there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> We have a great website at Iesodo.com, and we have a family discussion guide for each episode that helps guide you through the Scripture that we use when writing those episodes. We also have fun things like color sheets\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>15:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014and I even printed off some valentines\u2014really cute valentines we made up. I printed off 30 of them with my daughter, and we cut them up. That was a fun, easy way to do that for the class.<\/p>\n<p>But we really want to support parents, not just give them a DVD; but we want them to know that we\u2019re here to minister to them and their kids and give them the tools they need to back it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Bob\u2019s a music guy\u2014I don\u2019t know if you know that or not, Natalie\u2014but he\u2019s\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well-known for my musical ability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Our listeners know he\u2019s a music guy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Explain the music bed and how you really put that together because it\u2019s spectacular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Well, thank you. Jared, my husband, is a musician as well, and we really wanted to have quality, original music on this. So, each episode has at least one original song. And you know we\u2019re from Arkansas\u2014so, in Episodes 3 and later, we have some music from artists that are in Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Oh, great.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> It\u2019s fun. It\u2019s poppy. I catch my five year old running around singing it. My little niece who is three, she\u2019s singing it all the time, all the theme songs; and that just blesses us to know\u2014because we believe that you can tell a story, and it\u2019s words. The kids might remember it. You can paint a picture, and they\u2019re really likely to remember it; but if you sing a song and you show them the picture and you\u2019re telling the story, it\u2019s going to penetrate to them on a different level. So, we hope we\u2019ve done all three.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, let me get our listeners\u2014of course, they can\u2019t see it hear, but let me let them listen to how you have tried to engage children in the animated series you guys have created called <em>Iesodo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>[Scene from <em>Iesodo<\/em>]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bird (1):<\/strong> Barry, my fine feathered friend, based on your great and helpful service, we selected you for a very special assignment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Up north, many birds are gathering. They pose a threat to our traditions and our way of doing things. They are led by that trouble-maker dove with the funny name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barry:<\/strong> Some say he\u2019s all about peace, love\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bird (1):<\/strong> Don\u2019t believe them. He\u2019s radical message is a danger to all bird-dom. If birds start questioning the way things are, the very feathers of the bird kingdom will molt.\u00a0 Thousands of years of bird tradition will become meaningless. We must stop him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barry:<\/strong> When duty calls, I\u2019m always the one standing on the side that\u2019s right, doing my best, earning respect, bringing justice to the light. I uphold our traditions day-by-day, but I wonder if there is another way. Is this the right thing to do?<\/p>\n<p>[End of scene]<\/p>\n<p><strong>18:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And Natalie, Bob\u2019s kind of bashful. He wouldn\u2019t say this about himself; but if you\u2019ve got three of these done now, if you need an original song and talent, Bob would be happy to help you with number four.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> I\u2019d say that about myself. Yes, absolutely. I\u2019m not bashful about that.\u00a0 [Laughter]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> So glad to know that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Absolutely, yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> I\u2019ve got some audition tapes I can give you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> We\u2019ll remember that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> You are on these DVD\u2019s as well in some of the bonus features talking to the moms, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes, and it\u2019s just an extra support to let moms know that we\u2019re not hired people out to sell a product tapping into a market. We are parents, and I\u2019m a mom. I just want other parents to have this helpful tool, and I want moms to feel free to ask questions about the episodes. Please give us feedback.<\/p>\n<p>We set out to do this. This is our project we\u2019re throwing out to the world, and we want to know what you think about it. So, if there are episodes that you want to see created\u2014maybe there is a story from the New Testament\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>19:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014or a Parable that Jesus did\u2014let us know. Come to the website. Find me at Natalie\u2019s Nest, and we love to hear from viewers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> We\u2019ve got a link to your website on our website at FamilyLifeToday.com. So, if listeners just want to visit FamilyLifeToday.com, they can link up and fine out more about the <em>Iesodo<\/em> website. They can also find these DVD\u2019s in a local, Christian bookstores. Wal-Mart has at least one of them. Of course, we\u2019ve got them here in our FamilyLife Today Resource Center as well. So, if folks are interested, they can check it out at FamilyLifeToday.com.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And you\u2019ve got three of these that are now out. Explain the difference between each of these three DVD\u2019s. There is one about faith, love, and believe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes. So, we\u2019ve paired together, on each DVD, two episodes that are 15 minutes each. The first DVD is all about believing, meeting Jesus, who is He\u2014or Iesodo. <em>Love<\/em> is our second DVD. We released that around Valentine\u2019s Day\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>20:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014appropriately; and a lot of that\u2019s just about forgiveness and love.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the faith episodes are really my favorite. They are moving. They are engaging.\u00a0 The story of the storm where Jesus calms the water, walks on the water, that\u2019s a big one for kids. I am anxious to see more reaction from kids to that because my kids really hadn\u2019t ever imagined what it would have looked like for Jesus to walk on the water and call Peter out to walk on the water until they saw this with the birds. It\u2019s just a fun episode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> And this fall, you\u2019re going to tell the Christmas story with birds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes, and in the fall, we\u2019ll be releasing our next DVD titled <em>Joy<\/em>; and really, really, sweet story about Jesus birth. It\u2019s a new take on the Nativity, and we have seven DVD\u2019s in all releasing. So, throughout 2015, we\u2019ll have several more coming out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, as we move toward Christmas\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>21:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014I\u2019m just wondering what kind of bird you\u2019d use to cast for the wise men.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Oh, come on!\u00a0 Duh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> The wise owls, of course.\u00a0 [Laughter]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Of course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> And they are so cute, and they ride on the back of tortoises. It\u2019s just adorable. I love what our writers have done with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, and I hope parents will take advantage of what you all have created here.\u00a0 It really is extremely well done. I know when we were raising our family, we were looking for all kinds of various resources to be able to expose our kids to, especially when going on a vacation and travelling across country.<\/p>\n<p>You were driving down the road the other day, and you looked up and there was a van in front of you that was\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes, we saw <em>Iesodo<\/em> playing on the DVD player of the minivan in front of us, and I was so excited.\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 I said, \u201cThose are our birds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Did you start honking at the driver?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> I didn\u2019t. I didn\u2019t want to scare the kids.\u00a0 [Laughter]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> But I hope our listeners will take a look at this\u2014maybe go to FamilyLifeToday.com and check\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>22:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014out some of the trailers we\u2019ve got there to show you about the quality of this.

Thanks for joining us. So, you got pretty excited about this cartoon back last Thanksgiving, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I did. We had all of our family together at Thanksgiving\u2014or most of our family\u2014and the adults want to have a conversation after we\u2019ve kind of eaten the meal, and you can\u2019t have a conversation when you\u2019ve\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>2:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014got as many as 15 children running around ages one year to fourteen years of age.\u00a0 So, you are looking for something that will get their attention, keep their attention, and be something of value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, we played this children\u2019s animated series that is located in a Cyprus tree on the Sea of Galilee\u2014spectacular!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> The series is located in a\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> It\u2019s located there because it\u2019s about a bunch of birds that each represents a New Testament character. It\u2019s called <em>Iesodo<\/em>, and I am excited that we have one of the executive producers of <em>Iesodo<\/em> with us. Natalie Hankins joins us on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\u00a0 Natalie, welcome to the broadcast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Thank you so much for having me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Natalie is married to Jared. They have three children. She\u2019s a graduate of Pepperdine University and, also, Bob\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014a little drum roll\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> She\u2019s a graduate of my sixth grade Sunday school class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Okay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> All the way back\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> And proud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014when I used to have anywhere from 55 to 70 eleven and 12 year old young people in my class. That was one of the greatest privileges of my life, Natalie. There is a story your mom tells\u2014I wanted to ask you if you could remember it\u2014about one day that you threw yourself across the bed, had a conversation with your mom. She told me about this; and you said, \u201cAll I can think about are the apples.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Oh, the apples. Are you still teaching about the apples?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I\u2019m still teaching about the apples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> \u201cBad company corrupts good morals.\u201d That message was engrained in me because you brought these apples to class, and you had a bag of good apples and one rotten apple. You put the rotten apple in the bag with the good apples, and you showed us how that one rotten apple would rot the other good apples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> We parked those apples together in a sack\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014and put them in a closet for six months. So, what do you think is going to happen\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>4:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014with one bad apple and six good apples?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think the Health Department is going to shut you down, is what I think.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> It was a putrefied applesauce.\u00a0 It was terrible.\u00a0 The kids would all gag, and they\u2019d make fun of it. Anyway, Natalie\u2019s now married, got three kids, and she\u2019s produced this animated cartoon series that really is spectacular. It\u2019s all about the New Testament, about Jesus. Explain what you and your husband and others have put together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Well, we set out to teach families and teach kids the way of Jesus, the message of Jesus, the love, the faith, the forgiveness. We wanted to do it in a way that would reach kids where they are now, and what better way to do that than through cartoons, through their entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Jared, my husband, loves cartoons. I love cartoons, and this just was a perfect match.\u00a0 It was a call that Jared felt the passion to communicate the message of Jesus with kids in a way that they would understand and relate\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>5:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014to because we see them relating to the characters they see on their entertainment now, like <em>Tom and Jerry<\/em>\u2014or whatever cartoon characters they see, they act like. They imitate them.<\/p>\n<p>We want them to get to know Jesus in that way. We want them to see His character, imagine what it was like to live in His world or be part of His flock\u2014as we say now\u2014and see what His disciples would have done and what He really did, the miracles, because we don\u2019t believe they are being given the opportunity to hear those stories enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> This was really burden for you, as a mom, with your own kids. I\u2019m just curious, \u201cDid you sense from the beginning when your first child was born\u2014did you feel the weight of teaching your son about the Scriptures?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Oh, absolutely. I mean we\u2019re called to train up our children in the way they should go, and what a huge job that is as a mom to find the right opportunities to slip it in. I don\u2019t think we take enough of those opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, we hope that this animated series will be a tool that will give parents (the ability) to bring up the conversations\u2014to show them an episode that mimics the Sermon on the Mount. Then, their kids ask, \u201cDid that really happen?\u201d The parents get to interact; and they get to teach in a way, maybe, they wouldn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> When your kids were young and you didn\u2019t have the cartoons available to them, what kinds of things were you doing as a mom to try to engage them in these conversations?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Well, you know I did a Bible study with my boys when they were three and five years old and four and six years old. I loved it. It was precious time\u2014just me and the boys.\u00a0 We would pick one Scripture, and it was our memory verse for the week. I loved those times together. When it came time to do something fun together and have entertainment, of course, we had what was on TV; but we didn\u2019t have good videos that we could put in that I approved of and that they liked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They weren\u2019t really happy with some of the entertainment that\u2019s really popular today. They just didn\u2019t want to watch it. So, I hope now that we have <em>Iesodo<\/em>\u2014and it\u2019s something that families can feel great about putting in because their kids will enjoy it and the moms and dads will approve of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You and Jared worked on this\u2014or have been working on it\u2014for four years. It took a while to produce it. It had over 3,000 illustrators and animators, or artists that worked on putting it together. It really is spectacular, and there are three different DVD\u2019s in the series; but to go all the way back when you had the chance to show your kids the first series you created, take us back to that moment when you and Jared kind of unveiled it for your kids and what happened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> The kids sat down, and what was so neat was that afterward they asked us questions about the episode. It was specifically an episode\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>8:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014that involved the healing of the blind man and Jesus had put mud on the blind man\u2019s eyes. They asked us, \u201cDid Jesus really do that?!\u201d And we said, \u201cWell, He did.\u201d So, for fifteen minutes, we sat around the Bible getting the Scripture reference and talking about it.<\/p>\n<p>I stepped back for a moment and realized this is exactly what I want families to do. I want them to have the opportunity to ask questions and the kids to see a new story from the New Testament that they hadn\u2019t heard about Jesus before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Do you guys have a background in making cartoons? I mean you said you like cartoons, but it\u2019s not every mom and dad who sit down and say, \u201cI wish there were cartoons. Let\u2019s go make some. Let\u2019s go hire 3,000 animators to help us put this together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> No, apart from being cartoon connoisseurs, I\u2019m full-time mom; Jared has a background in video production. But when he felt this call, we really felt like God was part of it and confirmed that this was something He wanted to do because He connected us with\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>9:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014the most incredible production team\u2014really talented people that have worked on popular products that we\u2019ve all seen from Pixar Animation to Marvel, things that\u2014we\u2019re really just blessed to have their talent part of <em>Iesodo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Didn\u2019t one of the animators or producers work on <em>Toy Story 2<\/em> and <em>A Bug\u2019s Life<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes. We have some very talented people working on this. Our director was part of a lot of the Pixar animations.\u00a0 Our producer, also, was an executive at Marvel. Our other producer and writer has produced a lot of films and animated products for kids even in the faith based industry. So, we really are blessed to have these credible people working on our project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Okay, I\u2019ve got ask you the question, \u201cWhy did you use birds?\u201d I mean you could have used whatever you wanted to. I mean we\u2019ve got\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Now, wait. Bears were taken because you\u2019ve got <em>The Bernstein Bears<\/em>, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> That\u2019s right. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You\u2019ve got cucumbers and tomatoes\u2014[Laughter]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Vegetables were taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> They\u2019d been taken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> You know we started this with mission to do the animation. Then, we did have the question, \u201cWhat are we going to use? What medium?\u201d About that time, one of our producers and writers, Rob Loos\u2014wonderful man\u2014he had gone to Israel and taken a whole lot of pictures of the beautiful scenery. He noticed that there were a ton of birds passing through; and he thought, \u201cThat\u2019s perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great analogy for the Kingdom of God\u2014every color, every species come from all over. From an animating standpoint, they are easy to move. They have moveable arms, and it just was just a great match. So, now, we have all of our animation set in Israel with the beautiful scenery, all the different colors of birds and varieties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, introduce us to some of the birds and who they represent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Okay, so, our main bird is Iesodo. He is our\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>11:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014representative of the Jesus character. We\u2019ve got Rocky who is a bulbul bird.\u00a0 He is a representative of Peter. Maggie who represents Mary Magdalene\u2014a very sweet bird\u2014a lot of the little girls are liking her. She has a pretty purple headband, and she sings pretty songs. We have the fussy brothers, Jack and Jacob, two pelicans, like James and John and fisherman. I love those two brothers because they fight a lot, and that\u2019s just the nature of brothers, I think.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Reminds you of home, a little bit?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Just a little bit. We help address some sibling rivalry issues\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> There you go. There you go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> \u2014and forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> And everyone loves our Tom character. He is a cute little kingfisher. He\u2019s based on a doubting Thomas, and he is always questioning himself. He has a cute little accent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, earlier you were talking, each of these birds are a character; and they have a personality and kind of a style\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>12:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014of relating to each other, and it represents these biblical characters that we know about. So, you are really introducing Peter and what he was like and the doubting Thomas at that point. You\u2019re really attempting to connect them around who they were as human beings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes. Yes, this is all\u2014we say it\u2019s an allegory. This is like C.S. Lewis did with his Narnia series. We are representing the Bible and staying true to the message of the Scripture. So, all of these characters really embody the essence of what the real characters in the New Testament did.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> How do these cartoons fit into the broader scope of what a parent ought to be doing in terms of passing on faith to the next generation because obviously this isn\u2019t the one stop shop? You don\u2019t just show your kids some cartoons and go, \u201cOh, well, we\u2019ve taken care of their faith training now.\u201d How do you fit this into an overall picture as a mom?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> I think this is just a tool. This is support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is our backup because we need entertainment for our kids. They are part of the generation that needs TV, DVD\u2019s. They love that. They enjoy it. We want this to be something the whole family can participate in; but ultimately, it\u2019s Mom and Dad\u2019s responsibility to be sure that their kids are introduced to the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>I asked my son, my twelve year old, last night, how he feels the Bible is important for young children to know and what parents should be doing to introduce it. He said, \u201cKids need to know what the Bible is. They are going to hear about it the rest of their lives.\u00a0 Parents need to be sure their kids know that God gave us that gift of showing us His preferred way for us to live\u201d\u2014which is so true.<\/p>\n<p>He even referenced some animation that he\u2019s seen\u2014some faith based animation.\u00a0 There are only three of them, and they are really great.\u00a0 It was about angels and demons. I showed it to my kids when they were\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>14:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014six and seven years old, and that stuck with them; and they asked questions about Heaven, about Hell, about the angels. We had really great conversations because of the animation, and they still remember it.<\/p>\n<p>So, we see this animation as just a tool to get the conversation going, to help your kids visualize and imagine the life of Jesus, and to accept that it really did happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You also have some, I guess, they\u2019re teaching tools to assist parents in teaching some of the passages of Scripture that you are animating that help parents pass on the truth\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> We do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014of the Bible to their kids. Explain what your goal is there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> We have a great website at Iesodo.com, and we have a family discussion guide for each episode that helps guide you through the Scripture that we use when writing those episodes. We also have fun things like color sheets\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>15:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014and I even printed off some valentines\u2014really cute valentines we made up. I printed off 30 of them with my daughter, and we cut them up. That was a fun, easy way to do that for the class.<\/p>\n<p>But we really want to support parents, not just give them a DVD; but we want them to know that we\u2019re here to minister to them and their kids and give them the tools they need to back it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Bob\u2019s a music guy\u2014I don\u2019t know if you know that or not, Natalie\u2014but he\u2019s\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well-known for my musical ability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Our listeners know he\u2019s a music guy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Explain the music bed and how you really put that together because it\u2019s spectacular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Well, thank you. Jared, my husband, is a musician as well, and we really wanted to have quality, original music on this. So, each episode has at least one original song. And you know we\u2019re from Arkansas\u2014so, in Episodes 3 and later, we have some music from artists that are in Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Oh, great.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> It\u2019s fun. It\u2019s poppy. I catch my five year old running around singing it. My little niece who is three, she\u2019s singing it all the time, all the theme songs; and that just blesses us to know\u2014because we believe that you can tell a story, and it\u2019s words. The kids might remember it. You can paint a picture, and they\u2019re really likely to remember it; but if you sing a song and you show them the picture and you\u2019re telling the story, it\u2019s going to penetrate to them on a different level. So, we hope we\u2019ve done all three.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, let me get our listeners\u2014of course, they can\u2019t see it hear, but let me let them listen to how you have tried to engage children in the animated series you guys have created called <em>Iesodo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>[Scene from <em>Iesodo<\/em>]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bird (1):<\/strong> Barry, my fine feathered friend, based on your great and helpful service, we selected you for a very special assignment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Up north, many birds are gathering.

They are led by that trouble-maker dove with the funny name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barry:<\/strong> Some say he\u2019s all about peace, love\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bird (1):<\/strong> Don\u2019t believe them. He\u2019s radical message is a danger to all bird-dom. If birds start questioning the way things are, the very feathers of the bird kingdom will molt.\u00a0 Thousands of years of bird tradition will become meaningless. We must stop him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barry:<\/strong> When duty calls, I\u2019m always the one standing on the side that\u2019s right, doing my best, earning respect, bringing justice to the light. I uphold our traditions day-by-day, but I wonder if there is another way. Is this the right thing to do?<\/p>\n<p>[End of scene]<\/p>\n<p><strong>18:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And Natalie, Bob\u2019s kind of bashful. He wouldn\u2019t say this about himself; but if you\u2019ve got three of these done now, if you need an original song and talent, Bob would be happy to help you with number four.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> I\u2019d say that about myself. Yes, absolutely. I\u2019m not bashful about that.\u00a0 [Laughter]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> So glad to know that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Absolutely, yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> I\u2019ve got some audition tapes I can give you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> We\u2019ll remember that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> You are on these DVD\u2019s as well in some of the bonus features talking to the moms, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes, and it\u2019s just an extra support to let moms know that we\u2019re not hired people out to sell a product tapping into a market. We are parents, and I\u2019m a mom. I just want other parents to have this helpful tool, and I want moms to feel free to ask questions about the episodes. Please give us feedback.<\/p>\n<p>We set out to do this. This is our project we\u2019re throwing out to the world, and we want to know what you think about it. So, if there are episodes that you want to see created\u2014maybe there is a story from the New Testament\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>19:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014or a Parable that Jesus did\u2014let us know. Come to the website. Find me at Natalie\u2019s Nest, and we love to hear from viewers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> We\u2019ve got a link to your website on our website at FamilyLifeToday.com. So, if listeners just want to visit FamilyLifeToday.com, they can link up and fine out more about the <em>Iesodo<\/em> website. They can also find these DVD\u2019s in a local, Christian bookstores. Wal-Mart has at least one of them. Of course, we\u2019ve got them here in our FamilyLife Today Resource Center as well. So, if folks are interested, they can check it out at FamilyLifeToday.com.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And you\u2019ve got three of these that are now out. Explain the difference between each of these three DVD\u2019s. There is one about faith, love, and believe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes. So, we\u2019ve paired together, on each DVD, two episodes that are 15 minutes each. The first DVD is all about believing, meeting Jesus, who is He\u2014or Iesodo. <em>Love<\/em> is our second DVD. We released that around Valentine\u2019s Day\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>20:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014appropriately; and a lot of that\u2019s just about forgiveness and love.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the faith episodes are really my favorite. They are moving. They are engaging.\u00a0 The story of the storm where Jesus calms the water, walks on the water, that\u2019s a big one for kids. I am anxious to see more reaction from kids to that because my kids really hadn\u2019t ever imagined what it would have looked like for Jesus to walk on the water and call Peter out to walk on the water until they saw this with the birds. It\u2019s just a fun episode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> And this fall, you\u2019re going to tell the Christmas story with birds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes, and in the fall, we\u2019ll be releasing our next DVD titled <em>Joy<\/em>; and really, really, sweet story about Jesus birth. It\u2019s a new take on the Nativity, and we have seven DVD\u2019s in all releasing. So, throughout 2015, we\u2019ll have several more coming out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, as we move toward Christmas\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>21:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014I\u2019m just wondering what kind of bird you\u2019d use to cast for the wise men.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Oh, come on!\u00a0 Duh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> The wise owls, of course.\u00a0 [Laughter]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Of course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> And they are so cute, and they ride on the back of tortoises. It\u2019s just adorable. I love what our writers have done with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, and I hope parents will take advantage of what you all have created here.\u00a0 It really is extremely well done. I know when we were raising our family, we were looking for all kinds of various resources to be able to expose our kids to, especially when going on a vacation and travelling across country.<\/p>\n<p>You were driving down the road the other day, and you looked up and there was a van in front of you that was\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> Yes, we saw <em>Iesodo<\/em> playing on the DVD player of the minivan in front of us, and I was so excited.\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 I said, \u201cThose are our birds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob:<\/strong> Did you start honking at the driver?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natalie:<\/strong> I didn\u2019t. I didn\u2019t want to scare the kids.\u00a0 [Laughter]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dennis:<\/strong> But I hope our listeners will take a look at this\u2014maybe go to FamilyLifeToday.com and check\u2014<\/p>\n<p><strong>22:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014out some of the trailers we\u2019ve got there to show you about the quality of this.
