An audio lesson about the YouTube channel 'Good News Guys' (also known as The Good News Guys), featuring singers Amy (5) and Abigail (7). Include their background as a family, their Christian music, where they live, and their story as young performers.

The Good News Guys was founded by Vinnie Lindquist and Jordan Sovis, two individuals from Mid-Michigan who grew up in the same church and high school. Before teaming up for this musical mission, Vinnie worked as a high school teacher while Jordan ran a successful production company. In the fall of 2020, they both felt a spiritual nudge to begin creating Christian music and videos for kids, eventually leading to their massive platform today.
The Good News Guys focus on creating family-friendly Christian music for kids that parents can enjoy too. Their work is described as reviving old-school Sunday School songs with a modern vibe. To date, they have released five albums, including their latest project, 'Noah’s Ark,' which debuted in April 2026. Their content has reached a massive audience, surpassing 200 million views and attracting over 230,000 subscribers.
The journey for Vinnie Lindquist and Jordan Sovis began in the fall of 2020 when they separately felt a calling to create faith-based content for children. Despite being a few grades apart in school and not being close friends originally, they joined forces to build a platform that has grown significantly over the years. By June 2026, they have become a staple for families seeking high-quality Christian music and videos.
