Why Kids Need to See "Jesus-Following" Role Models in Cartoons

Have you ever noticed how fast kids copy what they see on screen?
They quote the jokes. They mimic the attitudes. They even copy the catchphrases.
So what happens when they start seeing kids on screen who actually love Jesus, make wise choices, and live by God’s Word?
That’s when screen time becomes seed time.
Kids Imitate Who They Admire
Children are natural imitators — they learn by watching.
And when most shows are filled with sarcasm, rebellion, or confusion, they start to think that’s normal.
But when they see a character who:
- Prays before making a decision
- Apologizes and forgives
- Applies scripture to real-life moments
...it starts to shape how they live, speak, and lead.
That’s why characters like Dex Davis are so important. They make following Jesus look *normal*, powerful, and fun.
“Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.” - 1 Corinthians 11:1 (ESV)
Not Just Bible Stories — Bible Living
Too many cartoons “mention” God once and call it Christian.
But a real faith-based show isn’t just clean — it’s Christ-centered. It models what it *looks like* to follow Jesus in the middle of everyday decisions.
That’s what Dex Davis is all about:
- Real-life situations
- Real-life temptations
- Real-life answers from the Word of God
Your Kids Need Models — Not Just Morals
Teaching morals without modeling faith creates confusion.
We tell our kids to be kind, patient, forgiving, and honest — but if their media shows the opposite, it weakens the message.
When they see a character who lives the Word, not just talks about it, it clicks.
Dex Davis doesn’t just memorize scripture. He applies it. He *lives it.* That’s what makes him different.
I’ve had parents tell me, “My child started praying after watching Dex.” Not because we forced it. But because they saw it modeled — and believed they could do it too.
