The Divine Journey Behind "Let's Talk About Jesus"

A midnight whisper that became a global chorus

In the stillness of midnight, as the world slept, something extraordinary happened. Twelve hours into a 24-hour prayer service, when fatigue should have clouded my mind, clarity came instead—in the form of music.

The catchy chorus and infectious beat of "Let's Talk About Jesus" began playing in my head with surprising persistence. Not being a musician, I initially dismissed it as a distraction from prayer. But the melody wouldn't fade; it only grew stronger, more insistent—as if demanding to be heard.

"Could this be more than just a random thought?" I wondered, finally surrendering to the possibility that this might be divine inspiration. With hesitation, I wrote down the chorus and beat pattern that had been repeating in my mind.

From Midnight Inspiration to Studio Magic

The following Monday, I somewhat sheepishly shared this midnight revelation with our church's tech and worship director. What I didn't know was that Ken wasn't just any tech/worship leader—he was a veteran of the music industry with connections I never imagined.

"This has potential," he said, immediately making calls to Starke Lake Studios, one of Orlando's premier recording facilities. The studio executives heard something special in this simple chorus born from prayer—something that resonated beyond just another children's song.

Together, Ken arranged the music while I expanded the lyrics, watching in awe as God transformed a midnight whisper into a fully orchestrated celebration of Jesus' love. When children from diverse cultural backgrounds arrived to record vocals, the studio came alive with energy that could only be described as divine appointment.

Beyond Music: A Visual Journey Around the World

But God's vision didn't stop with music. As production continued, doors miraculously opened for animation—bringing Church Dog to life for the first time beyond the pages of our award-winning books.

The animation takes children on a global journey, showing young voices from every continent singing about Jesus in front of the world's most iconic landmarks. From the Eiffel Tower to the Great Wall, from African savannas to South American rainforests—the message remains beautifully consistent: Jesus' love knows no boundaries.

This perfect alignment with our new "Church Dog Around the World" series couldn't have been planned by human hands alone. Each step of this journey has revealed God's fingerprints, from midnight inspiration to global animation.

A Movement Begins September 12th

As we prepare for the September 12th release of "Let's Talk About Jesus," we stand in humble amazement at how God can use the most unlikely vessels—a non-musician during a late-night prayer session—to create something that will touch children worldwide.

This isn't just a song or video release. It's the beginning of a movement to help children everywhere discover the friend who loves them most—Jesus.

All glory belongs to God alone. We're simply grateful He allowed us to be part of His divine composition.
