Hey Odyssey fans, I'm Jesse, editor of Focus on the Family Clubhouse Magazine.

And I'm Bob, senior editor with Plugged In.

Welcome to the official Adventures in Odyssey Podcast.

Coming up in the podcast, we'll hear from David Griffin, the voice of Jimmy Barkley.

David made his first appearance as Jimmy Barkley in 1988 in the episode Family Vacation,

and he's appeared in more than 70 episodes.

But before we hear from him, here's the latest news.

The Act's contest is in full swing.

Jesse, as you know, this is the contest where kids around the country can get out,

and can serve their family, their community, even their world.

You know, we've heard from kids that they can serve their family and their community,

but serving their world sounds more difficult.

Sure does.

So to help with that, we've teamed up with Operation Christmas Child

to send stuffed animals, lambs, in fact, to kids around the world.

And lambs are fun, but it's not just a toy.

Gospel message is presented to every child who receives one.

Our goal is to send out 500 lambs to kids all around the world, and you can help.

There's a suggested donation of $5, and you can donate at witsend.org slash lamb.

That's not a bad idea, Bob.

I kind of like that.

Well, now let's get over to David Griffin.
