He’s an author of 3 kid books and has a podcast (because you simply must have a podcast if you live in America nowadays) for Focus on the Family under the brand name “The Adventure’s of Average Boy”.

He also is a massive hotel shampoo collector. The jokes come at you fast, but will always be 100% clean for you and your family to enjoy!

As parents, there is nothing more important that the training of our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, Jesus Christ. One of the most significant ways we can do this is by helping them memorize scripture… to “hide it in their heart.” And, Slugs & Bugs is such an outstanding way to accomplish this… we count it a great honor to be able to introduce Slugs & Bugs to the homeschooling moms, dads and families that attend our regional GHC homeschool conventions.

Slugs & Bugs LIVE with Randall Goodgame, 5:30 p.m.

5:00 p.m. – Doors open for Priority Seating ticket holders

5:15 p.m. – Doors open for General Seating ticket holders

Slugs & Bugs LIVE is an unforgettable concert for families. Specifically, it is a joyful, gospel-filled, life-celebrating, interactive musical experience featuring animated videos, energetic vocals, and tasty piano, guitar and mandolin solos! (And dads get silly on stage, and sometimes there’s a parade….)

Tickets are only $5/person thanks to the generous financial support of Medi-Share and The Tuttle Twins.

SLUGS & BUGS – Live! (In concert)

Faith. Family. Funny.

As parents, there is nothing more important that the training of our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, Jesus Christ. One of the most significant ways we can do this is by helping them memorize scripture… to “hide it in their heart.” And, Slugs & Bugs is such an outstanding way to accomplish this… we count it a great honor to be able to introduce Slugs & Bugs to the homeschooling moms, dads and families that attend our regional GHC homeschool conventions.

Slugs & Bugs rejects the compartmentalization of life into sacred and secular and declares with great gusto that Christ is the head of all things. He is the head of kite-flying and river-floating, ice-fishing and sky-diving, nap-taking, bike-riding, belly-laughing and taking out the trash.

Our small hope is that the joyful creativity of Slugs & Bugs music will delight your whole family.

Our grand hope is that Slugs & Bugs kids would find it natural to remember Jesus in their homework, in their friendships, and one day, in the parenting of our grandchildren.

In fact, here’s a note from Laura G. who found Slugs & Bugs music for the first time at the Midwest Homeschooling Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio:

"I have a 3 kids, ages 12, 10 and 5. The only time we really listen to music in CD version is when we are in the car. At first my husband and the tweens were not so sure and kind of groaned when I'd put "children's" CDs in, but before you know it they were all singing along and admitting they loved the music. (How could you NOT?! 😊 ) My husband specializes in doing the monster and Count Dracula voices in the 10 Commandments.

Fast forward to this week. We drove down to southwest Florida (2 eight-hour days one way) and are now on our way back. We have had difficulty finding Christian radio, so these Slugs and Bugs CDs have been played nearly continuously!! My 5 year old son is singing along with every song and has declared he LOVES Slugs and Bugs! It warms my heart to hear him memorizing God's Word, and honestly, we are too right along with him. I have your music ringing through my head all the time now."

Slugs & Bugs is the Pixar of kids music.
