Three O’Clock Call
“Three O’Clock Call” is episode #590 of the Adventures in Odyssey audio series. It was written and directed by Bob Hoose, and originally aired on April 15, 2006.

Summary

Grady McKay learns from Whit and Jennifer how God can be his father, despite the fact Grady's real father has run out on his family.

Plot

When Jennifer, an orphan visiting Odyssey from another country, talks about God being a loving father, Grady is skeptical. Jennifer has never had a father, and Grady's experience with his own father leaves him doubtful that God could be the loving, dependable father that Whit says He is. Whit assures him that God will always show up, unlike his earthly father.

Meanwhile, Whit has asked Grady to help show Jennifer around town while she's there, since he’s closer to her age. Grady begins to question her about God and fathers. Jennifer very confidently replies that God is her good father and explains to Grady how God takes care of her by working through other people. Grady is still skeptical, but Jennifer says she'll be praying that he will be able to see a good father at work so he can better understand God.

At the McKay home, the phone rings at three o'clock, exactly the same time as the day before. However, when Grady answers it, there's no one there. Samantha thinks it's their dad, though Grady isn't so sure. He eventually becomes convinced and decides to ask his "dad" to meet him at noon in McAlister Park the next day.

Although he doesn't meet his father, Grady learns how God sometimes looks like other people in the ways that He provides for and protects his children, just like Jennifer said.

This plot section is too short and should be expanded. »
