Parenting & Family Quote by Tim LaHaye

"And part of my vision is to do dynamic videos for kids"

About this Quote

A curious kind of ambition hides inside that mild phrasing: "part of my vision" frames media-making not as a marketing tactic but as a calling. Tim LaHaye isn’t talking about children’s entertainment; he’s talking about territory. The word "vision" borrows the vocabulary of prophecy and leadership, implying a mandate that outruns personal preference. It’s also managerial language, the sort you hear in boardrooms and megachurch green rooms alike, where faith increasingly travels through strategy.

"Dynamic" does the heavy lifting. It signals motion, energy, modernity - a tacit admission that the older delivery systems (sermons, tracts, Sunday school flannelgraphs) can’t compete with the sensory velocity of kids’ media. LaHaye’s intent is evangelistic, but the subtext is defensive: if you don’t claim the screens, someone else will. In the late 20th-century religious marketplace, video becomes not just a tool but a battleground, a way to counter secular cartoons, classroom narratives, and the broader culture industry shaping children’s imaginations before theology ever gets a chance.

"For kids" narrows the audience while widening the stakes. Children represent longevity, inheritance, and vulnerability; persuading them early is both pastoral care and institutional survival. LaHaye’s phrasing is gentle, even wholesome, but it’s hard-nosed in implication: belief must be formatted for attention spans, packaged as spectacle, and delivered where kids already live - in moving images. The sentence is a snapshot of American Christianity’s media pivot, when salvation starts to sound, unmistakably, like content.
