The Ties That Bind, Clues and Cues

For the past two days, I have been listening to The Ties That Bind for the second time. Yeah, the second time. I listened to it first when it came out on the OAC, then I listened to other episodes. Sooo... almost a year later, I listened to it again, and came away with some interesting conclusions about the future of AIO. 

The Ties that Update, 5

FREE EPISODE: “The Ties That Bind, Part 1″ (the first episode of album 58)

June 25th, 2014

In this first adventure of the upcoming Adventures in Odyssey release, it’s a time of surprises as Wooton becomes the celebrity guest at Comic-Connellsville and Whit finds himself in conflict over the upcoming “Let’s Get Together Festival” in Odyssey. Plus, hear an interview with writer-director Paul McCusker about the entire 14-part series.

Album 58: The Ties That Bind

Who knew that a comic-book convention, a poster, and a pastoral visit could cause so much drama in Odyssey? Wooton’s got his hands full with a notorious blogger after announcing the creation of a new comic book idea-—and he has to deal with a wayward cousin. Whit refuses to join in a local festival and finds himself in a citywide tug-of-war between conviction and compromise. And the unexpected return of various relatives and former adversaries triggers complications for Connie, Eugene, and the rest of the Odyssey gang. It’s the perfect blend of excitement, comedy, and important life-lessons in this special 14-episode collection!

Parents: Learn more about The Family Project

This album was inspired by Focus on the Family’s The Family Project, a 12-session small group experience that explores the theological, philosophical, and cultural underpinnings of the traditional family, and combines that information with inspiring stories and practical tools to help 21st-century families thrive. You don’t have to take that course to begin your children on an adventure in understanding God’s design for the family. An included discussion guide will help turn these shows into a springboard for meaningful conversation.

 

The Ties that Bind

Album 58

"Comic-Connellsville! The "Let’s Get Together" Festival! Who knew that two events could trigger so much drama in Odyssey? Wooton’s announcement about a family of detectives leads to suspicion and intrigue. Whit’s challenge of some popular ideas causes a difficult tug-of-war between conviction and compromise. And the surprise arrival of a few friends and former adversaries creates the perfect blend of excitement, comedy, and important life lessons for everyone. 

"The Ties That Bind contains 14 all-new episodes exploring questions about God’s design for marriage and family, loyalty, redemption, commitment, and love. It’s a collection for your whole family to enjoy and talk about."

This 14 episode collection, is going to be great. One of the oddest things about this upcoming album is that is will be just one 14-part episode! Stay tuned for more info!
