Actor Kirk Cameron, who shot to fame in the 1980s while starring in the TV show “Growing Pains,” has gone on to become a Christian hero to millions, creatively sharing his faith and views with the masses.
Most recently, he partnered with Brave Books, a company producing Christian and faith-based children’s projects, and is now preparing to create and star in a kids’ show called “Adventures With Iggy and Mr. Kirk.” It’s a series that will help Cameron further spread Christian values to parents, kids, and families.
“We want to teach children biblical, moral lessons through their phones and the screen time,” he told CBN News, likening the show to “a wildly updated version of ‘Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.’”

“[We will have] high energy, hilarious dialogue, beautiful animated biblical, moral lesson stories about the sanctity of life, about the fruit of the Spirit, about the First and Second Amendment, and guest stars at every turn,” he continued.

Cameron said his team is currently crowdfunding the first season to ensure they maintain creative control. “Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk” is a natural outgrowth of Cameron’s See You at the Library initiative with Brave Books, an effort that saw him touring libraries across America to read to families.
That experience — one that came with some controversy after libraries reportedly rebuffed Cameron’s appearances and drag queens protested — exposed some important realities for the actor.
“I’m getting messages from people — friends of mine who are all about the work of bringing transformation to culture, and they’re saying it appears that people are finally waking up,” he said. “And I resonate with that as I go to churches and schools and libraries.”
Cameron continued, “People are waking up and realizing that the dystopian circus show is here, and the ringmasters like it. And if we just keep drinking the Kool-Aid, and eating the cotton candy, and stay entertained … by all this crazy stuff, it’s just going to get worse.”
