The WallBuilders Show Iggy and Mr. Kirk: Restoring Wholesome Entertainment for America's Children- with Kirk Cameron
The battle for our children's hearts and minds is being waged through the entertainment they consume – and Kirk Cameron is leading a counteroffensive with his new series "Iggy and Mr. Kirk." In this thought-provoking episode of the WallBuilders Show, Cameron joins us to discuss the alarming shift in children's programming away from traditional values and toward ideologies at odds with biblical teachings.
Remember when family entertainment reinforced character development instead of undermining it? Cameron certainly does, describing his new show as "a modern-day Mr. Rogers meets Sesame Street" that's "faith-building and Bible-friendly." Trading the cardigan for a leather bomber jacket, Cameron's Mr. Kirk guides a lovable green iguana named Iggy through lessons on forgiveness, honesty, and trusting God – all while battling a deceptive vulture literally named "Culture."
The conversation explores how difficult it's become for parents to find trustworthy content for their children, with Tim Barton sharing personal examples of having to screen even classic Disney films for problematic messages. This struggle highlights a broader cultural shift away from the "collective consciousness about doing the right thing" that once characterized American entertainment.
What makes "Iggy and Mr. Kirk" particularly refreshing is its design as a co-viewing experience, encouraging families to watch together and sparking conversations about important values. With 20 episodes completed across two seasons, the show tackles topics like identity from a biblical perspective – subjects that Mr. Rogers never had to address but that today's families cannot avoid.
The timing couldn't be better, as we're witnessing a renaissance in faith-based entertainment that's creating alternatives rather than just complaints. As Tim and Rick Green observe, restoring shared moral standards is essential to America's future prosperity and freedom – and entertainment that reinforces objective moral truth plays a vital role in that restoration.
