Ice Cream with Authors: Christian Books for Kids 7-13

Thursday, January 29, 2026 - 26 minutes

In this episode of Ice Cream with Authors, we are visiting with Andrew Jackson of The Bridge, a Christian radio station. Andrew is a “GECO”: gregarious, encouraging, creative, and outgoing individual. It is these personal strengths that serve him so well as a storyteller and direct marketing expert. The Delaware native has also lived in West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington states. Andrew and his wife Jessica have two children, one dog, three cats, two horses, a chicken, and countless frogs roaming the yard. As a boy, Andrew dreamed of being an astronaut! Now, Andrew is working toward his dream of being a published author. Andrew loves to travel and serve others. He spent the Summer of 1999 working and living in Yellowstone National Park. He now helps to lead international mission trips to Malawi, Africa, with the CUPS Mission organization.
