Adventures in Odyssey Club Trial
We believe storytelling is the most effective way for kids to grow their faith, learn Biblical principles, and know Jesus in a fun, engaging way.
That’s why we created Adventures in Odyssey, an audio entertainment series for kids to engage their imagination with faith-filled stories full of wonder and discovery. Each audio episode is fully dramatized with professional voice actors, sound effects and original music production.
