Adventures In Odyssey Easter Special – It’s radio drama for the whole family!  Tom visits Whit to talk to him about a student in Tom's Sunday school class--Digger Digwillow. Digger doesn't show any interest in learning about Scripture and thinks the Bible is boring. So Whit decides to work on an invention that may raise Digger's interest. When Digger visits, Whit introduces him to the Imagination Station. Whit explains that it's an invention which, through the imagination, helps people to experience the Bible and history. 

Digger doesn't think it will work on him, but he climbs in, pushes the red button, and soars back to first-century Jerusalem. There, Digger lives through the last week of Jesus' earthly life-from the Triumphal Entry to the Last Supper; to the trial, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. Digger also personally encounters the Savior. In the process, Digger gets nearly trampled by a crowd, arrested by Roman soldiers, thrown into prison, and learns to believe.   Click here for more info on the web – 50:00

One Holy Lamb - A Musical for Easter .   The picture of Jesus Christ as the “Lamb of God” is one of the most compelling in all of scripture. Sweet, gentle and pure, lambs were offered as a sacrifice on the altar before God. And then, God offered his own lamb as a sacrifice for us. Over and over scripture references the Lamb, even when Jesus began His public ministry, the first words out of the mouth of John the Baptist were these: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” 

David Guthrie and Lari Goss crafted “One Holy Lamb” with scripture-based narration and Easter arrangements from the gifted creative team of Mike Speck, Lari Goss and Danny Zaloudik. Weaving together the themes of love, sacrificial atonement, victory over death, and eternal life, this powerful yet simple Easter musical invites us to come face to face with the Lamb of God.
