**Formerly known as The Twelve**

I'm not sure why but I felt really encouraged to read the beginning of Acts about the disciples being sent out into the world to heal and preach about Jesus. Maybe it's because I've gotten so into The Chosen, which helped bring all of them to life. It's interesting that they didn't just stick with eleven apostles. Numbers mean something to God and twelve is seen quite a bit throughout the Bible.

I speak some Spanish and years ago, when my husband and I were traveling in Colombia, we took an Uber to the airport. Our Uber driver turned out to be a Christian who was no longer attending church, but he expressed that he felt bad about having drifted away from God. We had just heard an amazing sermon on following God and being obedient, even if you don't necessarily have the WILL to do it. We may not always have the will, but what we do have is a CHOICE. We can choose to do the right thing, and then the will will follow. I explained this concept to him and the Spanish was fluently flowing out of me. I know it was God giving me that ability. It was such an unreal feeling. The driver got very emotional while we were speaking, and we prayed with him once we arrived to the airport. I praise God for that divine appointment and the gift He gave me in the moment to help that man.

We are reading Acts 1 through 4, stopping at verse 31.

The world's first murder. Is anyone else shocked at how soon this happened? I certainly am. How much grief Adam and Eve must have felt. Although the Bible doesn't go into detail, things go downhill after that, and the world becomes so wicked that God regrets having made mankind.This is an account of the events following "In the Beginning" and preceding "Noah and the Ark." We are reading Genesis 4, 5, and 6:1-7.

In recognition of the New Year, I wanted to tell a story about new beginnings. This is the story of one of the most powerful transformations in the Bible. Saul of Tarsus was born somewhere between 5 BC and 5 AD. He walked this earth the same time as Jesus, but never met him in person, and went on to become a well-known Pharisee. He mercilessly persecuted followers of Jesus, until a dramatic confrontation with God changed his life forever.We are reading Acts 8 and 9.

The long-awaited part 2 is finally here! Friends, my health kept me from being able to finish this episode earlier. Ironic, right? But God is good, and it's here. I tried to make the parts equal in length, but as you can see, I was not successful. Some of the stories in part 2 are longer. And the last story finishes it off with a bang! Jesus knows how to wow us and bring glory to God!

We are reading several passages from the Gospels.

All of the Bible stories are excellent, but I felt like we needed some JESUS in our lives. So many of us are suffering from health issues, and it can be very discouraging and lonely. Let's get some encouragement and fill our minds with some of Jesus' miraculous healings. One of my favorite healing miracles is in this episode, and I'm so excited for you to hear it! I've been focusing on it throughout my own healing journey. I'll tell you which one it is in the intro to part two.

I heard a rumor that the book of Philippians was one of the happiest books in the Bible... in spite of it being written from prison! When I heard that, I knew I had to record it next. It is full of amazing promises from God, and good reminders from Paul to forget our negative pasts and to look forward to the future. I was really blessed by this episode and hope you will be, too.We are reading the entire book of Philippians.

The book of Daniel is full of prophecy and begins with the story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednago. Is that how you learned their names, too? It's funny that we call Daniel by his original name, and we learn the Babylonian names for his friends. When I read this story, it made me really think about my faith. There will be times we will be questioned or even threatened. Will I be strong enough to stand up for God? I pray that God will give me that strength. It amazes me the faith that those three men had. Let that be our inspiration! I hope you enjoy the first story about Daniel. We are reading Daniel 1 through 3.

I've been wanting to read this story almost since I started this podcast. I'm not sure why, but maybe because there are so many little stories that make up one bigger story. We could say there are several main characters. And I thought maybe it would be one that less of you are familiar with. At any rate, I'm excited to present it now. See if you can catch how the title ties in with the story.We are reading Joshua 1 through 4, 5:1,13-15, and 6.If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like to show your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.

**Trigger warning for this episode: asthenophobia** I apologize that we don't have a good Mother's Day story tonight, but Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there! We have officially hit 50 episodes, and are returning to the book of Daniel--chapters 7 through 9--covering the first three visions. It may not be the most relaxing story... but it's definitely an important one. The books of Daniel and Revelation provide so much insight to the end of time. Let's all pray for wisdom and understanding when reading and hearing these books.

For an overdue episode, I had to make it a good one. To be honest, I kept putting off episodes about Jesus. Why? Because I don't feel worthy of reading His stories and words and bringing them to life. I wanted it to be perfect... and that's impossible. I am only human and will make mistakes. So here is my imperfect reading about the only Perfect Man to walk this earth. This is only the beginning of His story. Enjoy, and thank you for listening. We are reading from the end of Luke chapter 2, Matthew 3 and the beginning of Matthew 4, John chapter 1 starting with verse 19 and all of John 2.

I decided to continue with the story of David and King Saul. We couldn't be left with that cliffhanger. David had to flee, and King Saul is still on the hunt. There are some very sad moments in this story, but I think you'll be pleased with the ending. I love God's conversations with David. How amazing would it be to hear His voice so clearly?

Paul is once again writing to his younger brother in Christ, Timothy. He reminds Timothy to stay faithful even in the face of persecution.

I am so excited to continue the story of Joseph. In part one, we heard how Joseph was betrayed by his own brothers and, through a series of unfortunate events, ended up in Pharaoh's prison. In part two, Joseph is given the ability to interpret dreams--first for two imprisoned servants, and then for Pharaoh himself! This episode is a great reminder that even in silence and waiting, God is still working behind the scenes.

Who doesn't love stories of underdogs triumphing? The story of Joseph is one of the most incredible stories of redemption in the Bible. It may be the most famous, even having a musical made after it.

Joseph was one of the twelve sons of Jacob. He was the son of Rachel, Jacob's true love, and therefore, Joseph was the favorite son of Jacob. Because of this favoritism, his brothers became jealous and angry with Joseph. Their jealousy ran so deep that it turned into... betrayal.

Though everything seems lost, even in betrayal, temptation, and injustice, God has not abandoned Joseph. His plan is still unfolding.

Because it's such an in-depth story, it will be split into several parts.

We are reading Genesis 37 and 39:1-20.

Tonight we continue on in the books of Acts. The apostles are spreading the good news and healing the sick, but they are met with opposition. They decide to appoint seven men to assist with some other duties. Stephen is one of those men. We do not get the typical happy ending with this story. I can't imagine going through what he did. Here we are also introduced to Saul who later becomes Paul. To continue the story, go to the episode called Saul of Tarsus.

We are reading Acts 4:32 through 7.

The past few weeks I've been able to return to church--praise God! I've been watching from home for two years because of my health. The last sermon's main verse was from the book of James. It really caught my attention and I knew in that instant that I wanted the next episode to be the book of James. There is a lot of good advice here, including suggestions for healing, which I have been considering. As always, thank you for your patience!

We are reading the entire book of James.
