  • Paul's Sister

    The Apostle Paul is one of the main players in the New Testament. His life is documented and his writings are recorded. But there's this small, often forgotten, interaction between him and his sister's son in Acts 23 that we are going to explore today. Imagine with me, what it might have been like to be the sister of Saul turned Paul.

      • Forgiven Woman
        Sneak into the scene today: a dinner party of epic proportions. Take a seat where you can see Jesus; this is gonna be a show you don't want to miss. Enter scandalous woman stage left. What will she do? 
        The guest author and recorder today is Rebecca Jones who says, “As a beloved daughter, cherished and protected by my Heavenly and earthly Fathers, I didn’t really understand how much our identity is shaped just by what we are told and who loves us, until I sat in rooms with women who had been used, abused and neglected and have such a hard time believing Jesus could really love them. This story is for them.”

        Rebecca Jones (episode author & performer) is a writer, teacher and leader from Western Nebraska. She spends her time chasing Jesus and her three boys in all their adventures, and squeezing creative pursuits into the margins.  As former teen parents, she and her husband are passionate about loving women and families in the midst of unplanned pregnancy, and introducing them to the tenderness of Jesus. She leads a local branch of a ministry called Embrace Grace, which equips the church to do just that. She’s in the midst of writing a book, and today’s podcast is an excerpt. You can find her writing and excessive photos of Nebraska sunsets at rebeccajonesweb.wordpress.com and on Instagram at @write_on_rebecca.

      • Samaritan Woman

        In this episode, we step into the story of the Samaritan Woman who speaks with Jesus at Jacob's Well near the town of Sychar. She has a thirst, a desire for 'more,' and encounters the One who can fill both of those deep needs in her life. This one is for anyone with questions, anyone whose mouth often gets ahead of them, and anyone who desires more from this life.

              • Adulterous Woman

                The shame of sin is in all of us. We have all made choices in the shadows of our own lives. None of us want to face the consequences of the wrongs we’ve done or the wrongs done to us but what if those consequences were met with the extension of grace and brought into the Light?

                Step into the story of the Adulterous Woman...

              • Wife of Joseph Barsabbas (Justus)
                In this episode, we step into the story of a woman not mentioned in the Bible-- the wife of Justus, the almost-disciple-that-replaced-Judas. We see the ‘casting of lots’ scene in the first chapter of Acts but what if we imagined the rest of the story?
                Today’s episode is for anyone who has ever felt passed over, unchosen, not picked, or left out, reckoning what life should be with what God has sovereignly ordained to be. It’s for anyone who has faithfully served Jesus and His church, wondering if it’s even making a difference. It’s for anyone who has wrestled with feelings of comparison or jealousy, sacrificing peace for a chip on the shoulder.
