Hi GIGI girls,

Welcome to our monthly Q&A with Esther and Steph. Today we have 3 questions:

1. Why do we have to close our eyes when we pray?
2. Why do we need to do Communion?
3. Does going to church make a difference to my faith?

3 great questions! Let's answer them in this episode!

Nicodemus stepped through the narrow streets, his sandals brushing against the cool stones. The scent of burning wood drifted from nearby homes. His heart pounded faster with each step.

Finally, he reached the place where Jesus was staying. A soft light flickered inside — maybe from a small oil lamp. Nicodemus hesitated, then knocked lightly.

Jesus looked up as the door opened. His eyes, calm and kind, met Nicodemus's. It was as if He already knew why he had come.

"Rabbi," Nicodemus began, his voice trembling slightly, "we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. No one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him."

Jesus smiled gently. "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."

Nicodemus blinked. The words hit him like a rush of wind. Born again? His mind raced.

This week we dive into the story of Nicodemus' secret visit to see Jesus - you can find the story in your Bibles in John 3:1–21.

Nicodemus is mentioned in the Bible a few times - check the Bible references below.

• John 3:1-21: Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews, secretly meets with Jesus at night, leading to their famous conversation about the need to be born again to see the kingdom of God.
• John 7:50-51: Nicodemus interjects during a council meeting, reminding the other Pharisees that the law requires a person to be heard before being condemned, defending Jesus from their hasty judgment.
• John 19:39-42: After Jesus' crucifixion, Nicodemus joins Joseph of Arimathea to care for Jesus' body. He brings a large amount of myrrh and aloes for the anointing and burial, which is a public act of reverence.

That night, Mia tossed and turned in bed. She scrolled through old photos—worship team pics, youth camps, moments where she felt seen and important.

Now she felt… invisible. Replaced.

She closed her eyes, trying to pray—but all she could hear was her own voice from earlier.

"Why her?"

"I deserve to be noticed."

"I'm better than her."

Suddenly, Mia felt a strange heaviness. Not on her chest, but deep in her heart.

Like something had gone numb.

Her chest tightened. She couldn't cry. She couldn't even pray properly. Her heart felt… cold. As if something inside had been covered in ice.

Join us as we dive into the story of Mia - the modernised story of Miriam found in Numbers 12:1-16

ALSO

We did a mic roam and asked girls your age about racism or feeling left out.

What did they say?

Tune in to find out.

Miriam collapsed to the ground. Her skin… was white. Snow white.

It was like watching life being drained from her. Leprosy.

Her hands were cracked, her face pale and covered in white blotches.

She gasped. "What's happening to me?!"

Aaron's face turned ghostly. "Miriam…" he choked, falling to his knees. "Dear God, no."

He turned to Moses, who had just come running. "Please, brother! Don't hold our foolishness against us! We were wrong—we sinned! Please, pray for her!"

This week we dive into the story of Miriam and her leprosy - you can find it in your Bibles in Numbers 12: 1-16.

"Ayyy, Jordan!"

He turned.

He turned. It was Paris—19, popular, confident, and the daughter of the gym's owner. She came in often, usually just to scroll on her phone at the juice bar or flirt with the trainers. Jordan had always been polite to her but kept things light. He could sense she liked attention, and he didn't want drama.

"You're still here," she said, leaning on the doorframe. "It's basically just us."

Jordan smiled politely. "Yeah—closing shift. Just about done."

Paris stepped inside slowly, letting the door swing shut behind her. Her eyes lingered on him.

"You work hard," she said, walking closer. "Too hard. Don't you ever... get bored of being the good guy?"

Jordan chuckled nervously. "Not really. Someone's gotta be."

She moved closer, lowering her voice. "Come on, Jordan. You're always so serious. You could relax a little... just this once." Her hand touched his arm.

His heart jumped.

He stepped back gently. "Paris, I don't think this is a good idea."

"Why not?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "No one's here. I won't tell."

He paused. Everything in the room suddenly felt heavy. Quiet. Still.

Join us as we dive into the story of Jordan and Paris - the modernised story of Joseph and Mrs. Potiphar found in Genesis 39.

ALSO

We did a mic roam and asked girls and guys your age about facing temptation.

What did they say?

Tune in to find out.

One late afternoon, as the shadows stretched long and the palace began to cool, Joseph passed through the inner hallways of the house carrying scrolls. The wind blew softly through the open windows, rustling linen curtains.

A voice called gently, "Joseph."

He turned, and there stood Potiphar's wife, dressed in fine silk, her eyes fixed intently on him.

"Yes, mistress?" he asked politely, lowering his gaze respectfully.

Her voice was smooth like honey. "Come and lie with me."

Joseph's heart pounded. He froze. The silence between them thickened like desert heat.

He took a step back. "No, my lady. My master has placed everything in this house under my care. He trusts me completely. How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?"

But she didn't give up.

Today's story can be found in Genesis 39.
