Welcome to Shiloh Creek — a quirky nature reserve where Old Timber, a wise old elephant elder, tells stories from the lives of the animals who live there. Bongo the klutzy bear cub, Zippy the hyperactive hummingbird, Shelly the dry-witted tortoise, Garingo the dramatic parrot, Fern the shy fawn, and a chorus of comic frogs called the Mudpuppies all share their adventures, their mistakes, and what they learn from each other. Every story carries a timeless principle from the Bible — never as a lecture, always as part of the story. For kids ages 4-12. Stories of kindness, courage, honesty, patience, and friendship.
The whole creek is racing toward one big morning — but Quilla, the gentle chinchilla, keeps stopping to notice the small good things everyone rushes past: a dewdrop holding the whole sky, a pebble worn smooth, the first frost-star. When the big morning lands smaller than the hype, Quilla shows Bongo the day was full of gifts all along — and every one is worth a thank-you, all the way up to God who gives them. A warm story about gratitude and noticing, anchored in Ephesians 5:20, 'Giving thanks always for all things unto God.' Ages 4-12.

Ep 28 · The Dark That Wasn't Empty
Bongo has never been scared of anything — until he's alone in the dark at the Hollow Log, fetching lantern-moss for the evening sing. When he says 'I'm scared' out loud for the first time, he discovers the dark was never empty: it's full of crickets, fireflies, his friend Professor Hoot, and God right there with him. A gentle story that you're never alone in the dark. Bible verse: Isaiah 41:10.

Ep 32 · The One Who Wasn't There
Garingo the parrot loves an audience — so what's the point of a good deed if nobody's there to clap? But one morning the Creek is full of small good things that just happened: the gate's mended, the trough's full, the bramble's cleared, and nobody saw who did it. Garingo sets out to catch the mystery do-gooder and throw him a parade — and learns it's Ranger Ray, the keeper who tends the whole place season after season and is never seen and never thanked. So Garingo tries it himself, fixing a footbridge plank with no audience at all — and finds out how it feels to do a real good thing nobody notices. Does it still count? A warm, quiet story about the good you do when no one's watching, anchored in Galatians 6:9 — 'let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.' Ages 4-12.
