A few months ago we were having a lazy day at home with the kids. We were watching what we consider a more educational kids show that is all about different animals and areas of the world. The kids love it! As always, my husband and I had our ears open for teachable moments. A reference to evolution was made and we got ready to address it with them and then it happened…
“That’s not true,” said my 7 year old, “because God created everything. Hey, remember than time in Jonathan Park when…” That’s enough to make this mama’s heart smile!
It can be hard to find good books, movies, and shows for kids that aren’t riddled with evolutionary references, can’t it? There are a few that we avoid altogether and with most we use them as teaching moments for them to hear God’s truth from their parents. Our family discipleship toolbox is made even stronger with Jonathan Park Creation Adventures!
This is a sponsored review post and giveaway in cooperation with Jonathan Park. All opinions are my own.
Disclosure: *This post may include affiliate links. As an affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Read the disclosures and terms for more information.
Jonathan Park is about a young boy whose family goes through amazing adventures together. His father is a respected evolutionist and paleontologist who becomes a Christian and a creationist through the scientific evidence he discovers in his work. Their whole world is turned upside down and they go through amazing challenges together as a result of this wonderful change in their lives.
I consider the Jonathan Park Creation Adventures an essential for a Christ-centered home that desires to teach a creationist standpoint. These audio dramas are so exciting and entertaining for kids that they will beg to listen to them! They are incredibly well done and will keep your entire family captive. That in itself is a win.
However, the real gold is in the message. Your family will not only be entertained, but educated.
Every episode comes loaded with these benefits:
- Scientific evidence for creation
- How to field hard questions about creation vs. evolution
- Identifying evolutionary thinking, even when it’s subtle
- Family unity and relationships
- How to handle conflict and disagreement in a graceful and loving manner
- Godly character traits such as compassion, perseverance, honesty, and more
- Fun whole-family entertainment that will leave you on the edges of your seats!
You and your family will absolutely love Jonathan Park. If you’re interested in my full review you can read that here. But be sure to check out their site! They have audio clips, a parent blog and a kid’s blog, and more!

23 Jan 2017I love how the series attacks common thought with biblical explanations. It helps create and maintain a biblical worldview.
Katrina Morgan
23 Jan 2017What stood out most to me was the Faith building takeaway of Returning Good for Evil – 1 Peter 3:3 & 9 . Especially in our world today, as a parent and homeschooler it is hard sometimes to not let my sin nature show!
Thank you for the opportunity to win, and for sharing this site!
Reba M.
23 Jan 2017We have heard about these CD’s for years now and would love to listen for ourselves! My children would love to hear about the Creation Science and dinosaur topics they get frustrated that everywhere we go they hear about evolution and the earth being millions of years old. They would be surprised and thrilled to hear about creation science and they LOVE audio dramas!

23 Jan 2017I live in Peru, but I do have a U.S. Mailing address. Can I still enter the giveaway?

23 Jan 2017I believe that’s fine if they’re mailing to a U.S. address.
Ladonna
23 Jan 2017I like the faith building takeaway of “returning good for evil.”
Rebecca
23 Jan 2017I would love to be able to let my kids hear these. They love dinosaurs and I want them to be able to hear about them from a creation perspective. Thank you for the chance!
Joesette Huffman
23 Jan 2017I like the Returning Good for Evil takeaway. In this day and time, that’s a necessary skill for us all!

Lauren

Lisa H
23 Jan 2017I’ve been thinking about giving Jonathon Park a try. We’re focusing on kindness right so that one would be a good addition!
becky fisher
23 Jan 2017I like how science and the Bible are used together in these. It would be great to have for our homeschool!
Stacy Ervin
23 Jan 2017Hi! My young son and I spend a LOT of time in the van together, and too much of that turns into screen time for him. I’d love for him too be learning from this drama instead, if His wills it.
Marci
23 Jan 2017The Laws of Energy sounds interesting to me.
Steph Rasmussen
23 Jan 2017I would love to hear more about how the water cycle can point to creationism.
Heather C
23 Jan 2017This sounds like a great tool for teaching accurate, Biblical science in a fun and interacting way!
L H
23 Jan 2017My son received A Jonathan Park book for Christmas. He would love more! I liked the consequences for sin and repentance leading to reconciliation. It was s fabulous book.
Shellie M
23 Jan 2017Showing kindness looks like it would be helpful in each family, no matter the ages of the children.
Cherryl
23 Jan 2017The Showing Kindness faith-building takeaway stood out to me because that is something we have been talking about with our kids recently.
Heather Muckleroy
23 Jan 2017We actually need a new set!! Ours is so worn out from repeated listening. Hope to get this for my younger 3 who haven’t heard it much yet.
A
23 Jan 2017I am amazed at how much science is in the story.
Larissa
23 Jan 2017We love Jonathan Park. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Karin
23 Jan 2017Aside from the excitement of sharing the scientific evidence behind creationism, I’m intrigued to hear more about the evolution tree.
AnnMarie Everson
23 Jan 2017This set looks amazing!
Sandra Lassiter
23 Jan 2017I love that it includes Identifying evolutionary thinking, even when it’s subtle. So important for our kids these days. We teach them and teach them, but can always use another tool to teach them even more!
Cari Webb
23 Jan 2017It’s nice when my kids can learn science and be entertained at the same time.
Laura A
23 Jan 2017A story that helps teach returning good for evil is rare!
Amy Kusmaul
23 Jan 2017Thanks for sharing this. My son (13) loves Jonathan Park. We too have had a similar experience where in a conversation our son was able to quickly insert his knowledge regarding Creation while tacking on to his comment, “I learned that from Jonathan Park”. I love it when they learn and they don’t even know their learning.
Stephanie
23 Jan 2017I’ve been curious about this audio series. Thanks for the review!
Jodi Cohen
23 Jan 2017I followed the link and the first thing that stood out to me was Returning Good for Evil. We say that very often in our house, our kids struggle with wanting to lash back at their siblings instead of taking the higher road, the road God expects. This would be great, I’ll be looking into this either way, but would surely love the whole first series! Thanks!
Jennifer Mathesz
23 Jan 2017I like the takeaway, consequences of sin. It’s humbling when you truly understand that we all deserve death because of our sin, and it’s only through God’s love and grace that we have blessings in this life. I want my son to understand that.
Jennie
23 Jan 2017This great fun way to learn a powerful story! How it incorporates the sense and different subjects.
Jessica
23 Jan 2017These sound like they are exciting and educational! I really like how they support creationism with scientific facts. Very cool and I know my kids would LOVE these!
Jennifer Lantz
23 Jan 2017The water cycle is one of the topics. I’ve never heard of these but now I’m interested to hear them!
Kaile R
23 Jan 2017I really love the idea of this series! The families working together to build a museum and share their faith with others. I would love to incorporate these science topics into our homeschooling!
Jodi
23 Jan 2017I have heard good things about these cds! Would love my children to be able to listen to them.
Ruth Grimley
23 Jan 2017That sounds so much like the series Focus on the Family puts out. My grandkids LOVE ❤️ them! Unfortunately I only have 3 and I have to let stem to them over and over the whole time my grandkids are here. (I don’t mind)
Karen
23 Jan 2017This sounds so great! Would love to get it!
Edie C

VALERIE EDDY
23 Jan 2017I am excited for the opportunity to win Jonthan Parks. This is a series I have been trying to find a way into our budget for my two boys. Thank you for providing the way of possibility.
Jen
23 Jan 2017This sounds great! I know my boys will enjoy it.
Rhonda H
23 Jan 2017I’m not going to enter the giveaway, because WE OWN ALL OF THESE AWESOME CD’S!!! My son is 14 and still listens to them regularly. Audiobooks have been a homeschool staple for my auditory learner, and these have been “on the menu” since he was about 8. We love the way they explain the sometimes difficult terminology and arguments of creationism vs. evolutionism.
If you win this marvelous resource/entertainment, please be intentional about listening, if audiobooks are not in your regular routine. You won’t be sorry. They are super faith builders.
Laurie S
23 Jan 2017This giveaway is amazing! Thank you!

23 Jan 2017My kids heard one of these at their grandparents’ house and would love to own the set!
Valerie
23 Jan 2017I think what stands out to me about this audio series is the help it gives kids in answering tough questions from their friends about evolution vs. creation. My kids are in public school, so this would be a huge resource for them!
Emily
23 Jan 2017We love these radio series that talk about a broad spectrum of Godly character. Our kids really enjoy anything science so I think they’d like it. I like that it addresses consequences of sin.
Miriam M
23 Jan 2017Probably the Laws of Energy sounds most interesting. I like the idea of the Creation Science Museum mentioned! It reminds me of the museum that the boys make in the book “Little Men” by Louisa May Alcott….
Megan
23 Jan 2017How exciting! Our family & especially 2 boys will LOVE this! I love how it ties in science with creation. I am a homeschool mom with a science-lover who I believe would really benefit from this. Thank you for this generous opportunity, Proverbial Homemaker! <3
Lacy
23 Jan 2017Looks amazing! It’s on my buy list!
Holly Grenoble
23 Jan 2017We love Jonathan Park stories
Heather L
23 Jan 2017I know my daughter will love these audio stories. I love that returning good for evil and showing kindness are part of the stories. My son doesn’t get into audio stories as much because he is a visual learner. Any suggestions for helping him enjoy them?
Kristin
23 Jan 2017I’m not sure where you wanted us to leave the comments for the giveaway, but I would love to win the Jonathan Park audios! I’ve been looking at these for forever, but they are expensive and my daughter is only one, so we decided not to spend the money yet. I really want to steep her in good, Christian stories and ways to defend her faith as she grows, and the idea of connecting those in an audio book series is great. I love that they start off combating evolution with creationism and fact. Thank you for the giveaway!
Carrie Ayars
23 Jan 2017My older kids loved Jonathon Park….now I am raising my second group of kiddos. I love the fact that this is creation based and factual. Entertaining and educational!! I would love for them to have this set also.

23 Jan 2017I love that it’s a creation based dinosaur adventure for kids! What a great way for kids to learn (without knowing they’re learning) about GOD’s creation!
Liz Brown
23 Jan 2017Evolutionary tree sounds pretty cool!
Sacha Dietrich
23 Jan 2017Can’t seem to get the link to play.i would love to win this for my kids. Thanks for the opportunity!

Kristin
23 Jan 2017This series looks neat. I like how they incorporate virtues and scripture into the story.
Amber Bourland
23 Jan 2017I want to learn more about convergent evolution. While I know what I believe about evolution vs. creation, I can always use more knowledge to be able to answer others when they ask questions or argue.
Theresa Fritz
23 Jan 2017Thank you for your information and the giveaway opportunity,,,
Maureen
23 Jan 2017I love this!! I have one high schooler in public school so he is always coming home with questions and wondering how to defend creation. This is something we can give to our children to arm them..
Abi F
23 Jan 2017Showing Kindness
Sheila Carpenter
23 Jan 2017We just finished learning about the water cycle! It would be great reinforcement to hear it taught through these audio stories! Plus, we love listening to stories like these and have been wanting to expand our (very limited) collection.
Shalyn McPherson
23 Jan 2017I have heard about jonathan park awhile ago. Im very interested in getting my cildren into less tv and more old fashioned entertainment. These look great, ive had the information about thisnaudio series saved and been coming back to it often. This is a great giveaway!
Lisa Teodoro
23 Jan 2017Just being reminded of a literal 6 day creation and the science that supports it is extremely helpful from this series. Thank you!

Eva Daniell
23 Jan 2017I love them all but the one that stuck out was Consequence of Sin
Tammy
23 Jan 2017The Laws of Energy caught my eye because that is what we are currently studying!
Hannah Jurgelis
23 Jan 2017The scientific evidence for creation sounds like such a great thing to teach to our impressionable sparks. =) We’re hoping to go to the Creation Museum in the next few years for the same reason.,
Sandy
23 Jan 2017Evolution vs. Creation is a topic of study in our house.
Hallie
23 Jan 2017Upon becoming a believer thirteen years ago, I was unaware of so much related to creationism. I also had never heard of this resource until today and am excited to learn more about it and explore sharing it with my family.
Becky
23 Jan 2017The Laws of Energy looks good. my boys are all about energy. lol!
Christina K.
23 Jan 2017What interests me about the Jonathan Park audios is the support for creation.
Kimberly W.
23 Jan 2017Design of Water cycles
Kelly Stowe
23 Jan 2017Showing Kindness… Sadly we struggle with this.
Michele
23 Jan 2017I like the help with standing firm in the truth and the character aspects of it (showing kindness, returning good for evil, etc.)
Meghan A
23 Jan 2017I’m excited to find any resources that explain a creationist standpoint scientifically. The design of the water cycle and takeaway on kindness stand out, as we just studied the water cycle last year and have been working on kindness a lot.
Thanks for hosting so many interesting giveaways. There’s a lot out there, and it’s nice to learn about what resources have been helpful for others.
juli
23 Jan 2017I am so enjoying RPL and the support from DCDE! Thanks for the giveaways!
Deborah Bown
23 Jan 2017Jonathan Park is great! Hope they keep making them.
Rochelle
23 Jan 2017It’s really hard to narrow down what sounds the most interesting but love the faith takeaway topics… good for evil, kindness, etc… all totally relevant for today!!!
Lori H
23 Jan 2017One of the science topics is Convergent Evolution. This series sounds exciting
Beth Ann
23 Jan 2017This looks like a cool series!!
Anne H
23 Jan 2017I would love to win this series for my granddauther.
Jocelyn
23 Jan 2017Love that it talks about repaying evil with good.
Sarah
23 Jan 2017I like the idea of, Jonathan Parks Creation Adventure, reinforcing Creation Science while reinforcing faith building takeaways like: Returning Good for Evil ( 1 Peter 3: 3 & 9) and Showing Kindness (Galations 6:10).
Amy Marshall
23 Jan 2017We’d love the kindness or return evil for evil CD’s.
Jessica
23 Jan 2017This series looks so amazing! I think my kids would find them interesting and entertaining, and I like the topics of returning good for evil and showing kindness.
Gloria
23 Jan 2017Hi,
I really like the way Jonathan Park brings strong Christian character into their audios. In this album the Faith-building takeaway that stands out to me is the Returning Good for Evil and Showing Kindness. That would be so important for children to learn in the home.
Thank you and God Bless!
Andrea B
23 Jan 2017I love the way that they reinforce science and the Bible in such an exciting way!
Gennah Hill
23 Jan 2017What a great opportunity! My son will love the bits about the water cycle the most, I think!
Jennifer Baker
23 Jan 2017Convergent Evolution intrigues me as a topic. I have seen these audios before but have not embarked on a journey…YET!
Mom2
23 Jan 2017I really like the important categories of faith and science and the topics! Its so great that there is a resource like this out there.
Raylene
23 Jan 2017I want to win these for my 3 granddaughters.
Jason
23 Jan 2017The Creation Museum Adventure Series Pack sounds really good. I have been to the Creation Museum and I loved going there and I bet the audio books would be great also.
Jamie L
23 Jan 2017A video adventure series on creation science, what a wonderful asset for any Christian family! I have heard of a creation science museum, but living in rural America on a limited budget we do not have the opportunity to go. Dinosaurs from a creation standpoint is something we always need a little more ‘rock’ about, but what I think I like the most is how it helps us help our kids to stand firm in the truth and build good, kind character.
Sally
23 Jan 2017I’d love to hear about “The evolutionary Tree” and showing kindness.
Jody
23 Jan 2017We love Jonathan Park also!!

Brittany Escobar
23 Jan 2017I like that this series deals with the consequences of sin. I’d like to hear how they go about it.
Teresa W
23 Jan 2017We are talking about the water cycle right now, so that would be timely! Also kindness, as our family is working on being more kind to each other. My oldest has really taken to listening to audio books, so I have been wanting to pick up some dramas like this!
Laura
24 Jan 2017Would love to have this series!
JennieT
24 Jan 2017I enjoyed there new website. What a great resource. I found the faith part interesting Showing Kindness – Gal. 6:10
Consequence of Sin. Thank you for the giveaway
Tonya
24 Jan 2017Looks like a very interesting and educational story.
Maria Nelson
24 Jan 2017We Love audio dramas but would like to try Jonathan Park since we’re fans if Adventures in Odyssey and Radio Theatre productions.
Lisa
24 Jan 2017We could really use the faith building lesson “returning good for evil” in our home right now. I also am very interested in the evolution topics!
Ashlee
24 Jan 2017I’ve been looking for the next series to read with my son. This looks like a great choice!
Alison Brown
24 Jan 2017We love audiobooks for our resting times and times in the car (when the radio isn’t broken!)! Thanks for putting this up! I’ve never heard of this resource!
Bethany
24 Jan 2017I’ve never listened to these, but have heard good things from friends.
Amy Cahill
24 Jan 2017I like the idea of teaching to return good for evil.
Stacy Golmon
24 Jan 2017I think they all look great, but the kidness would be awesome.
Jennifer Kime
24 Jan 2017These would be great for school!!!
Stacie
24 Jan 2017We love this series!
9kids
25 Jan 2017The Evolutionary Tree is my pick, only because our kids are bombarded with evolution everywhere it seems.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!!
Katie Bazemore
25 Jan 2017It all sounds wonderful! I love that it is science supporting Christianity!
Elise B
25 Jan 2017I had my kids listen to a trailer- they asked to listen to it again and again. Works for me! 1st time an audio has caught their attention like a film!
Bette
25 Jan 2017My older boys have listened to these from a library but it is time for the younger ones to also get absorbed in these adventures. We love the scientific details that weave into a clear Biblical worldview without straining the dialog. The action is gripping! We first heard of these resources as book one in a children’s series..
Zekesmom10
26 Jan 2017We have science lovers in our house, so any of them would be really enjoyable.
Lisa Hyatt
26 Jan 2017All up seems very interesting. To be able to teach my kids about creationism versus evolutionism without it sounding like it’s my own agenda would be so helpful. The entire program seems so intriguing. I would love to have this for our own entertainment as well as homeschool
amanda Patterson
27 Jan 2017Oh I was just checking these out recently. Definitely would enjoy having this!
Ticia
27 Jan 2017Return kindness for evil.
Karyn Ashley-Smith
27 Jan 2017I’ve heard the evolution/creation is handled extremely well! Would love to win this, everyone raves about it!
Teresa Locklear
27 Jan 2017Design of the water cycle and showing kindness both look wonderful
Cathy
28 Jan 2017Returning Evil for Good would be such a great listen for all of us, but an especially great reminder for one family member in particular who is going through a rough time right now.
Heather Junker
28 Jan 2017I love everything with this series. As a homeschooling Mom, I love that is has science linked with Biblical creation. I love that is has drama, which I can link to literature and writing skills. I love that it teaches Christian virutes and behavior. There are just too many things to list. The possibilities are endless. I would love to win this for my family.
Jill Miller
28 Jan 2017Do I have to pick one topic? They all look great!
Nicole H
28 Jan 2017Thank you for the introduction, I love things like this for too many reasons to name. When I visited the site and pressed play I knew my daughter would be intrigued but more importantly the message is what impresses me. I noticed they drop scientific principles and the characters express moral integrity, which is a perfect start to build the foundation necessary for parents. My child is preschool age but the world influences us at birth so I think these materials are essential when wanting to expose a more spiritually developed child/person. If I was blessed with resources like this, I know it would not only help my child but our whole family.
Melissa Franklin
28 Jan 2017I found it neat that the episodes are so much more than animal science but include earth and physical science.
Jaci
28 Jan 2017My kids love audio adventures! Have you heard of the Brinkman Adventures? SO good! Anyway, I think returning good for evil would be good for us ALL to hear about! Thanks!
Lynette
28 Jan 2017Returning good for evil
Carrie Gowan
28 Jan 2017Have never heard of this series until now, but it sounds interesting!
Stephanie Miller
29 Jan 2017There are a couple stand out topics that I can’t wait to use in our homeschool. The first is honesty and the second is fielding tough questions regarding creation vs evolution!
Tara
29 Jan 2017I have only heard one of these, but we really liked it! I would love to win!
Naomi Watson
30 Jan 2017I’ve heard lots of great things for Jonathan Park. We don’t have any yet, but the kids would love to listen to the Biblical worldview.
Kim F.
30 Jan 2017I think it is neat they start with the The Evolutionary Tree

30 Jan 2017Showing Kindness! This is something we have been working on in our home the past few weeks.
Heart of a Philanthropist Blogger Kim
30 Jan 2017I would love to get the Laws of Energy.
Kari Barone
30 Jan 2017My oldest son loves dinosaurs and Jonathan Park! I like the Faith -Building Takeaways of Returning Good for Evil and Consequence of Sin. I also like the fact that Convergent Evolution and the Evolutionary Tree are discussed in this program. Our family loves the Creation Standpoint of Jonathon Park and listen to the program whenever our local radio station airs it.
Tam
30 Jan 2017I love that they have digital downloads. I think my kids would really like these stories.
Nema Meshreky
30 Jan 2017the adventure begins
Katie Anne
31 Jan 2017I have heard of the Jonathan Park CDs before, but I didn’t realize they taught creation and how kids can stand up for their faith. Teaching creation to our kids is very important to my husband and I. We’ll have to look into these more!
Jen
1 Feb 2017We listened to a borrowed copy on vacation last year and would love to hear more! The kids enjoyed the adventure and I loved that they were learning Biblical truths!
Jacqueline Wilson
1 Feb 2017Showing Kindness is a faith takeaway I’d want my son to learn for life!
katie
2 Feb 2017I like the laws of energy.
Beth
3 Feb 2017The Jonathan Park series is amazing! Our children love the stories… and so do us as parents! My favorite part about the adventures is how often we are able to refer back to the Truths taught throughout the stories in real life moments. My kids both remember and relate to these concepts because they are set in the narration, but they can connect those same values to life situations.
Erin Blasco
5 Feb 2017We have several of the JP series and the kids love them!
Molly
5 Feb 2017This is a great give away idea. My kids love Jonathan Park. I think they would especially enjoy the Creation science series.. Thanks for the opportunity.
