The Dancing Toaster season 1 Bonus Episode- The Odyssey of the Mind

Hello Toasters! I hope you're getting ready for season 2 launching on January 7th. Until then, here's something to hold you over.I told you last week in the final episode of season 1 that I was going to try and have a surprise for you before Christmas and I was able to get it ready.
Very few of you know that my ministry background didn’t start with preaching but with music, hopefully it doesn’t shock too many of you what kind…
It took a major backseat after my ordination, about a decade, but recently I tried to dust off the skills and merge them with what we do here on the show, and package it together for ya.
The instrumental was produced by Trunxks, you can find him on YouTube and social media under Trunxks beatz.
The song is called “Odyssey of the Mind”It’s inspired by both Homer’s Odyssey but with splashes of Pilgrim’s progress by John Bunyan
For the honor of the Prince of Peace our hero sets out on a journey through multiple treacherous environments to slay 3 ancient monsters.
The Tentacled Beast of Lazy can be found in the Pools of Stagnation.A Demonic host of fear is uncovered in the Forest of Uncertainty.And atop the highest peak in the land is the gold armored Titan named Pride who unsurprisingly has named the mountain after himself.Only with the aid of the prince of peace will our hero overcome these obstacles.
