About Us

There is nothing more priceless than to be filled with God’s joy, peace, and love! This is the abundance that Jesus wants us to have. Our mission is to make the Bible come alive through inspired, yet practical stories, books, music, and videos; so people can make little changes that impact their lives and relationship with God in a great big way!

Little Big Things is a 501c3 nonprofit founded to help bring people closer to God.  The founder, Mark Arens, pledges that 100% of all proceeds will be used to fund our mission and he will never take any money from Little Big Things.

About Mark Arens, Founder

After my wife, Julie, and I had been married for two years, (at my ripened age of 47), we were blessed to be able to adopt our son Michael, at birth.  For the first time in my life, I held a brand-new baby.  As I cradled my precious son, our Father’s love poured over us as God held both Michael and I in his arms and whispered: “I’m here.  You have nothing to worry about because I love both of you and I will love you forever.”  Eighteen months later, we were blessed again when we adopted our newborn daughter, Anica.

I will always love you” is the most important promise we will ever make in our lives.  It was from this promise that Mark created Thumbuddy books, “I’ll Always Love My Thumbuddy” and “God Says I’m Thumbuddy” to help parents sing their own love song to their kids. From there, the idea of Little Big Things was born as a platform to spread the messages inside these great books.

Our Mission and Vision

Jesus loved talking about little big things! He said, “Anyone who can be trusted in little things… can also be trusted in big things” (Luke 16:10). Another time he talked about heaven and a king who said, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over little things so I will put you in charge of bigger things!” (Matthew 25:21).

In fact, the whole Bible talks about little big things such as the little match that can set a big fire ablaze, or the little rudder that controls a big ship. (James 3). My favorites are all the times the Bible says how we, little people, can trust in our big God.

Our goal is to make little things come alive for you – all to make a big difference in your life.

Our Big Goals

Free One Million People From The Cancer of Unforgiveness!

Unforgiveness and offense are two of our biggest hurdles to living the abundant life Jesus wants us to have. The problem is how forgiving, forgetting, reconciling, justice and hurt feelings can intertwine and paralyze us. We often find ourselves angry or hurt and Satan wants us to think this is normal.

With this background in mind, our big goal is to help one million people discover freedom of forgiveness in their lives. We don’t want to simply treat the symptoms of unforgiveness – but instead, we want to cure the cancer of unforgiveness once and for all – to help you be free. Our free videos, audios, music and books will help you discover the freedom that Jesus wants for you!

Help One Million Kids Discover That They Are God’s Children!

Identity theft is one of Satan’s favorite plays, and he likes to start with kids. He wants our little children to grow up without having any relationship with God. When kids grow up without God, Satan gets the opportunity to put all kinds of false god’s in front of the child and how will they know the truth? The truth will become relative – in a whatever you think world.

Our children need to know that God loves them. They need to know they were created in his image. They need to know their identity – that they are precious to God. That they are always loved by God and they can count on God’s truth. We want to help parents lay down this foundation – this truth – this promise with our free videos, books and music.

Why do so many of us Christians believe that anger, offense, broken relationships, and fear are normal? Why is it that so many of us wake up moaning, “Oh God, it’s morning” instead of singing, “Praise God for a new day!”

If we want more happiness, peace, and contentment, we need to stop the thief from getting into our lives. Jesus even said, “If you knew when the thief was coming….” Oh, if only you knew. We want to help you to know so you can live the abundant life that Jesus wants for you! There is no reason to wait.
