Too Religious for Nickelodeon: Why Butch Hartman Made 'The Garden' Cartoon
Butch Hartman found mainstream success as the creator of The Fairly OddParents, a huge hit for Nickelodeon. But when he wanted to create a Christian cartoon, he knew no major studio would back him.

In this clip, Butch and Pastor Greg talk about why big studios avoid Christian messaging, Hollywood's double standard on Christian content, and why The Garden is so important for families.

What Jesus Says About Worry & Anxiety | Stop Worrying
How many of us have worried a problem away? We spent hours wracked with anxiety, and that did it! Problem solved. No, not likely.

How to (and How Not to) Pray | Let Go of Resentment
We’ve all been treated unfairly. Maybe they let us down, they put us down, they kept us down. And we may have paid a dear price for it. Maybe it happened 20 years ago . . . or 20 minutes ago. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out what it does to us when we carry that burden of resentment. We’ll look to the words of Jesus Himself and find a way to set ourselves free from that bondage. We’ll see forgiveness sets a person free. Not the perpetrator, the victim. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

How to (and How Not to) Pray | Prayer Is More Than Asking
Think of the conversations you have with a good friend of yours. If the only time you spoke to them was to ask a favor or borrow a couple of bucks, that relationship would start to feel pretty shallow. No, good friends connect with each other and let the relationship deepen. Today, on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see prayer as more than just a request line. We’ll see it’s a way for us to deepen our relationship with the Lord, and bring our will in line with His will. We’ll see prayer is a lifeline to a loving God. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

Make a Difference | Tell Them About Jesus

Two Words That Change Everything | Sunday Message
Have you ever faced a situation that seemed hopeless? The disciples felt that way after Jesus was crucified. Their hopes seemed shattered. But then came Sunday. Luke 24:1 says, “But very early on Sunday morning…” Those words changed everything. Throughout Scripture, we see it again and again: Joseph’s setbacks? BUT GOD. Peter’s prison? BUT GOD. Our sin and hopelessness? BUT GOD. And the greatest “BUT GOD” of all: Jesus died on the cross, BUT GOD raised Him from the dead! God always has the last word.
