Praise

 

"As a mom, I’m thankful for the example set by Randall Goodgame in this TV show. Not only does he dignify children by speaking the truth to them, but he’s also made a quality show from beginning to end. It’s clear from the content and method of the show that Goodgame believes the youngest among us are still worthy of our best efforts.” - The Gospel Coalition


"Not all shows are so careful as 'The Slugs & Bugs Show' in drawing out the practical, gritty ways that the Gospel of grace alone makes life in family and community possible." - The Rabbit Room


"This one time, I recorded a bunch of lullabies and silly songs with my good friend Randall Googame, then several years later got to drive onto a studio set on a tractor and hang out with puppets who were singing those same songs. Life be crazy. So excited for Randall and the Slugs & Bugs ministry." - Andrew Peterson


"New Christian ‘Slugs & Bugs Show’ models Mister Rogers, teaches kids to love Jesus." - Christian Post


⁣"We just had our family night and premiered the new slugs and bugs show. We have a toddler and a 1st grader.... we all loved it. It reached us all in the room with the silliness and reminders of truth. Thankful for this quality entertainment for our family. Thanks for shining bright! We give it a thumbs up. 3 episodes down and I think this may be on repeat in the coming days." -Becky Vasso
