Can Cartoons Help Kids Grow in Faith? Here’s What I’ve Seen with Dex Davis

Let me tell you a story.
A Dad in Los Angeles emailed me after his son watched Dex Davis. His son had been glued to the screen the whole time. The next day was a school day and the boy had his bible in his hand ready to go. His father told him it wasn't Sunday and he didn't have to bring his bible. His son ran up to him and said, “Dad…I wanna bring my bible to school because if Dex can do it, i can do it too".
Right there in that moment, I knew this cartoon wasn’t just content — it was a calling.
Cartoons Are the Language of a New Generation
Let’s be honest — our kids are growing up in a digital world. They’re fluent in screens, animation, and on-demand content.
But what if we flipped the script?
What if we took the same tools the world uses to entertain — and used them to evangelize?
Dex Davis Was Created for More Than Laughs
Yes, it’s fun. Yes, it’s animated. But the real mission behind Dex Davis is to help kids:
- Memorize scripture
- Recognize right vs. wrong
- Understand the love of Jesus
- See themselves as strong, faith-filled believers
Every line of dialogue is intentional. Every joke leads to a truth. Every episode ends with a spiritual moment that kids *actually remember.*
“Let the little children come to Me… for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” — Matthew 19:14 (CSB)
What I’ve Personally Seen
I’ve had kids quote Dex Davis episodes and sing the songs in Sunday School.
I’ve seen parents' hearts touched because their children started praying after watching.
I’ve watched entire youth ministries use Dex as part of their lesson plans.
This isn’t wishful thinking — it’s *fruit.* And fruit comes from the Spirit of God working through a medium today’s kids understand.
What This Means for You
If you’re a parent, pastor, or homeschool teacher wondering if Christian cartoons actually make a difference — the answer is YES.
But only if they’re built on the Word.
"Dex Davis: Child of God!" isn’t magic. It’s ministry. And it works because it’s backed by prayer, scripture, and a desire to help kids *actually live* what they believe.
