Our guest today, Fred McNaughton (known as Phredd), has been with one of our local Christian radio stations since 1984! Early in his career, Phredd discovered that kids didn’t really know how to worship, because they were never taught! Knowing that the “joy of the Lord is our strength” and raising 8 children of his own, Phredd set out to change this using the talents God entrusted to him.

Phredd will tell you that laughter brings down walls and helps us to connect - and today he will share with you some of the songs that have helped him do this, and in turn have helped the next generation know how to worship with their whole being.

Ready to hear how laughter and fun teaches our children to worship? Let’s go…
