The Odyssey Trivia Quiz

Answer: Lucy Schultz

Lucy was doing a lot of work during the week, and that included Sundays. Whit noticed that Lucy had missed church on Sunday mornings for a long time, because of her work. Lucy told Whit that someone has to do the work for God, and Whit sent her on a personal odyssey to Bethany to learn that doing things for God, isn't the same as being with him. Lazarus' sister Martha said the same thing while trying to prepare a meal for Jesus, and the guests at her house.

She was mad that her sister Mary wasn't helping her, and was just sitting listening to Jesus. Jesus rebuked Martha for her behavior, telling her that Mary chose the right thing.

This story is found in Luke chapter 10, verses 38-42. This episode is a two part episode titled "An Adventure in Bethany."

Answer: Jimmy Barclay

Jimmy wanted to spend his birthday with his father in the Imagination Station, but believed that his father would be too busy to come with him. Because of this, Jimmy entered the Imagination Station alone. His father George, came to Whit's End to get Jimmy, so they could at least have a quick lunch, before George returned to work.

He asked Whit to get Jimmy out of the Imagination Station, but Whit refused. Whit told George to go get Jimmy himself if he wanted him out. George went in and was unable to pull Jimmy away from his adventure, but did eventually remember how important spending time with his son actually was.

He was reminded of it after Jimmy was taken by the Egyptians, and they were separated during the Passover. Their odyssey is linked to the Biblical account found in Exodus, starting in chapter 10, and ending in chapter 14.

This is also a two part episode, and is titled "Moses: The Passover."

Answer: John Avery Whitaker

After a conversation with Connie about death, Whit decided to make an Imagination Station adventure on the subject. Whit told Connie that because of Jesus, death for a Christian, is nothing to fear. Unfortunately for Whit, he did too well in making the death adventure, and he ended up in a coma in the hospital. Connie attempted the adventure first, but because she was young and didn't have any life experience with death, the program didn't work.

When Whit activated the program, he encountered his late wife, Jenny, and their son Jerry, who was killed in the Vietnam War. Because of those encounters, and his extended life experiences, Whit was too enthralled in his adventure, and he didn't want to leave it, and slipped into a coma. Fortunately for him, Tom Riley was there to get him to the hospital, where he made a full recovery.

This is also a two part episode, and it is titled "The Mortal Coil."
