What Parents Should Know

There are 15 episodes of The Torchlighters available on Minno, in both English and Spanish, and each episode features a different “torchlighter.” The episodes of The Torchlighters tell the stories of heroic individuals who often make sacrifices for their faith, including death. We suggest these episodes for children ages 8 and up, and encourage parents to watch along with their children and talk through the historical facts and consequences of following God. Each episode is about 30-40 minutes long and is self-contained – so they can be enjoyed separately from other episodes. Check out the episode listing and several preview clips below:
