7 Family-Friendly Streaming Services
Are you frustrated, like me, at the amount of filth in entertainment today?
Put aside the debate for a moment about whether or not Christians should watch PG-13 and R-rated movies. Online streaming apps are putting out far worse content.
From the Netflix Christmas special in which Jesus is gay and Mary smokes weed and their other blasphemous, predatory, and pornographic content, and outright pornographic, to Disney’s lesbian character on Doc McStuffins and LGBTQ story lines in it’s films, and PBS’ gay wedding in it’s popular cartoon Arthur, there is little out there it seems for families these days.
Even Hallmark, once thought to have the corner market on family-friendly content, is including LGBTQ story lines in its films.
Thankfully, there are a few great streaming apps committed to providing good family-friendly and Christian content. And I am sharing those with you today!
7 Family-Friendly Streaming Services
For me, it isn’t enough to use services like Vid Angel that cancel out bad words or portray adult scenes, because I feel like speak with my dollars.
Choosing to pay money for Netflix, Disney +, and Hallmark Movies Now isn’t an option for me – even though each of these provide content that is agreeable to my movie-watching standards.
For me it is about principle: am I willing to financially support a company that is committed to putting out content that mocks Christ and glorifies the very sin that nailed Him to the cross.
Here are three streaming services you can safely watch with your family.
1. Great American Pureflix
Great American Pureflix is basically a Christian alternative to Netflix with several genres, including titles in Spanish, there is something for everyone!
Even kids!
They offer a good variety of great cartoons like Torchlighters, Superbook, and Franklin. They also offer classic films, musicals, and even a selection of fun Christmas movies that will be fun to watch this season.
You can find Great American Pureflix here.
2. Up Faith and Family
When I began researching family-friendly streaming apps, the one I kept finding was Up Faith and Family. I took a brief look at it and immediately signed up!
I love it because it has a very “Hallmark” feel to the content, but with the commitment to provide content that even kids can watch.
I love that!
At a very reasonable $5.99 a month – with a free two-week introductory offer, I was all in on that!
Up Faith and Family offers movies and TV series for the whole family, as well as documentaries, music – such as Gaither Homecoming series, and more.
For the $5.99 you pay, it is an amazing deal!
You can find Up Faith and Family here.

3. Angel Studios
Angel has produced some huge Christian headliners such as Sound of Freedom and The Chosen, but I wonder if you knew that they also have a streaming platform where you can watch other great family-friendly and Christian content.
You can find Angel Studios’ streaming platform here.
4. Dove
Dove is a streaming service that provides all kinds of family-friendly content ranging from classic TV shows and movies to more modern movies.
You can chose to watch Live TV through your favorite platform, including Roku, FireTV, Google TV or others, or you can stream a movie or TV show through their long list of available titles.
5. Redeem TV
To start, Redeem TV is free and user-supported. Most of the titles are completely free to view and include shows such as Vindication (my personal favorite), Robert Whitlow’s “The Trial”, Hiding Place, The Chosen, and other great Christian Titles.
You can sign up for Redeem TV here.
6. Minno
Formerly known as JellyTelly, Minno is a streaming app just for kids.
And I love it!
Minno has hours and hours of content dedicated to discipling young children, offering them great theological content on their level through Buck Denver and Friends.
There is also tons of other fun content like 3-2-1 Penguines, McGee and Me, Davey and Goliath (a flash back to childhood for some of us), and other fabulous Bible-based content for kids.
You can find Minno here
7. YippeeTV
YippeeTV, like Minno, offers fantastic titles for children, such as VeggieTales, Superbook, Maggie’s Market and more.
They offer a free trial for you to see if your kids will enjoy it. You can find Yippee TV here.
