Q: How can parents leverage media to build a solid Christian worldview in their children? Through the audio dramas, imagination is brought to life for kids within the theatre of the mind. The Odyssey Adventure Club also provides activities and devotions meant to be done as a family, encouraging that important interaction. Kids can listen to episodes while doing other activities, like coloring, playing with their toys or outside, riding in the car or exercising. While the Odyssey Adventure Club is consumed through a computer or mobile device, it doesn’t require a child to sit and stare at a screen. We believe kids should be using their imagination and interacting with their family and friends.

Every year, volunteers from thousands of churches nationwide deliver Christmas gifts and a personal message to children on behalf of incarcerated parents.
