Iconic Nickelodeon Animator Finds Christ, Embarks on Mission to Inspire Faith in Children: 'Your Kids Are Going to Be Singing Scriptures'

Billy Hallowell : Aug 22, 2023   Faithwire.com

"I grew up in a very godless home ... I knew about God, but I didn't know how it all linked together. I didn't know how Jesus died for my sins. What does that mean?..." -Butch Hartman

Butch Hartman and his wife, Julieann, have created "The Garden," a faith-based series. The duo, who are outspoken Christians, embarked on the project after Hartman's monumental success working as an artist, storyteller, and show creator for two decades at Nickelodeon.

"I was there from 1997 to 2018, and … I had this idea around 2005," he said, noting he had become a Christian a few years earlier in 2000. "Since the year 2000, I've always had Jesus on my heart, wanted to know more about Jesus, more about the Lord."

Hartman said he was 35 years old when he became a Christian.

"I grew up in a very godless home — not that my parents were bad people," he said. "They were great people, but we didn't talk about God, because they didn't know about God."

Hartman continued, "I knew about God, but I didn't know how it all linked together. I didn't know how Jesus died for my sins. What does that mean?"

But one day, while visiting a church, Hartman said something clicked. The message resonated, and his "heart was open." As time progressed, the couple went to church weekly, with their faith growing in the process.

"I ended up getting saved there. [Julianne] got saved there. My mother got saved there at 62 years old," he said. "Our kids were raised there. … I went from not wanting to go to church to being an usher standing in the building at 5:30 in the morning in a three-piece suit"...Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
