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.
The Adventures in Odyssey stories take your family into the world of the fictional small town of Odyssey where its various characters experience their walk with Jesus from different vantage points.
Each episode is fully dramatized with professional voice actors, sound effects and original music production. On average each episode lasts twenty-five minutes making it perfect for car rides, bed time routines or spending quality time together as a family.
Adventures in Odyssey makes it fun for kids to learn Biblical values so that your family can thrive in Christ.
New Adventures in Odyssey episodes air every day on the radio and online. To listen online or find a radio station visit the Adventures in Odyssey radio page.
Odyssey is a small town located somewhere in the American Midwest. But there’s more to this sleepy burg than you could ever imagine!
