Fun Bible Study for Kids
Adventures in Odyssey was created in 1987 by Focus on the Family as a family-friendly audio drama designed to entertain and teach biblical values in an engaging way.
The idea came about because Focus on the Family wanted a creative way to help kids build a Christian worldview and connect with timeless moral lessons. It was meant to counteract secular media influences and offer parents a trusted resource for faith-building content.
The show is set in the fictional small town of Odyssey and revolves around Whit’s End, an ice cream shop and discovery emporium run by John Avery Whitaker “Whit”, a wise inventor and mentor figure. It combines humor, adventure, mystery, and heartwarming moments to draw kids in while addressing spiritual and ethical topics.
This type of storytelling teaches bible lessons without the pressure.
It even helps children talk about their faith and helps parents spark conversations about faith with their children.
It makes Bible study fun for kids.
Building Real Faith in Kids!
Making scripture part of your daily routine can help your children walk with Jesus when they grow up.
This isn’t always easy. If your children roll their eyes and see family devotions as a chore, they could end up a statistic walking away from their faith when they grow up.
You can’t bore a kid into loving scripture. When Bible study is perceived as boring, it reinforces the child’s perception that Christianity is boring.
Adventures in Odyssey makes it fun to build faith and teach children about Jesus.
Kids will want to listen everyday, which means they’ll be learning about Jesus everyday. It’s like having Sunday school lessons everyday.
