Stories and Films for Your Family
We connect people to purpose. One conversation at a time.
Three Voice Up places were made for kids and families. Each one holds films you can watch together, stories you can read, and simple things you can do at home. This page puts all three in one place, with the films first.
Explore Purpose
Explore Purpose is the home of the Purpose Fellowship. Eight friends from eight places around the world each carry a gift: Precision, Caring, Belonging, Peace, Wisdom, Connection, Kindness, and Community. Kids meet each friend, learn the gifts, and start to name their own.
On the site, your family can meet each character and read their story. A new Character Profiles section shows each friend with pictures to print and coloring pages to enjoy.
Watch together: Episode 1, The Purpose That Powers You. Eight friends set out on one quest, and your child is invited.
Voice of a Miracle
Voice of a Miracle helps children talk about fear, health, and hope in words they can use. In Miracle Has a Monster, a child names the hard thing she faces, her monster, and learns she does not face it alone. Families are stronger when they face hard things together.
The series gives your family simple tools: name the fear, breathe slowly, and hold on to faith and love. The site holds the book, the films, and lesson plans you can use at home or in a classroom.
Watch together: Miracle Has a Monster, the main film. A story by Emily Metheny, a Voice Up intern.
Little Mel and Friends
Little Mel and Friends tells the stories of Mel and his four friends: Bird, Tinker, Dot, and Sage. They grow up on Kenwood Street in Hammond, Indiana. The friends live by four pillars: Respectful, Professional, Fair, and Service.
The films are short and warm, made for families to watch together. Each one gives your family clear words to practice at home, at school, and with friends. The heart of every story is simple: service leads to purpose.
Watch together: Little Mel & Friends. Meet Mel, his friends, and the street where they grow up.
One Door for Your Family
These three places belong together. One helps your child name their gifts. One helps your child talk about fear and health. One shows your child how to serve and belong. Watch one film this week. Talk about it together. That is how purpose grows at home.

This is how Voice Up has achieved what it has to date.
The Five Principles of Voice Up
Everything Voice Up has achieved to date — every module, every fellowship, every real-world product — is built on five principles. They are not slogans. They are the daily habits that make purpose real, make collaboration work, and make impact last.
Collaboration
All are Welcome. The journey towards purpose begins with others that allow you to be the true you.
Humility
We all have much to learn. We can learn and become better with each conversation.
Precision
All the Details Matter. The steps we overlook may be the ones that make us great. There is power in consistency in a collaborative community.
Patience
We All Need Forgiveness. We all make mistakes. The key is to learn from each and become better.
Empathy
We Must Understand Your Why. We help you set a goal to talk to new people every week and share the lessons you learn.
Why These Matter
These five principles are the reason Voice Up's 8-week intervention works. They are practiced in every conversation, every module, and every product. They are the foundation — and the proof is in what people build.
