Adventures in Odyssey #58: The Ties That Bind

Religious drama
from archive.org

In short: "Religious drama" from a fundamentalist Protestant group called Focus on the Family. Plays out similar to a radio show.
My friend found this set of five CDs in the one-cent disc bin at a Christian thrift store.

Here is the description of the set on the creator's (Focus on the Family) website.
"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."

Here is an excerpt of Focus on the Family's Wikipedia page (for context!):
"Focus on the Family (FOTF or FotF) is a fundamentalist Protestant organization founded in 1977 in Southern California by James Dobson, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The group is one of a number of evangelical parachurch organizations
that rose to prominence in the 1980s. As of the 2017 tax filing year,
Focus on the Family declared itself to be a church, 'primarily to
protect the confidentiality of our donors.' Traditionally, entities
considered churches have been ones that have regular worship services
and congregants.
It most prominently lobbies against LGBT rights -- including those related to marriage, adoption, and parenting -- labeling it a 'particularly evil lie of Satan. Focus on the Family has been criticized by psychiatrists, psychologists, and social scientists for misrepresenting their research in order to bolster its religious ideology and political agenda, as well as for their anti-LGBT views."
