Reboots

Have you ever doubted God? Do you struggle with how to talk to a God we can’t see and don’t trust? Earl’s story is for you.

This former gang-banger wondered if he’d ever live long enough to know God. Today, Earl is a small business owner. He and his family study scripture in Hebrew.

Meet Earl. Messianic Jew. A man redeemed.

• Earl shares his story in a number of places, including The Community Rescue Mission in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

• Here’s an academic primer on the Los Angeles Crips and Bloods from Stanford University. Interestingly, gangs have been around since the 1920s. The Crips and Bloods are each territorial. To say they don’t much like each other is the proverbial understatement.

• Earl mentions Hoover Crips. Here’s a bit more info.

• Explanation of the term “Yeshua” in the Hebrew Bible.

• Sabbath - a day set aside for rest and worship.

• Hebrew - historically regarded as the language of the Israelites and their ancestors.

• Earl mentions the word “Emuna.” Here’s a more in-depth definition we found.

• Earl received word of his clemency from Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson during Passover

• Earl closed our interview with a shema - “an affirmation of God’s singularity.”

Five children, four pregnancies, three living children, two broken parents, one God.

Ada excels at math. Years after the loss of twin boys, the formula of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 still tumbles in her mind. This sequence of digits symbolizes grief, joy, a marriage that has beaten the infinitesimal odds, and the comfort of a God she couldn’t believe existed, yet raged against. In this interview, Ada shares poignant moments of hope and defeat as she fights for her premature sons and against an unfair God. She takes us through her journey toward a career that forces her to revisit grief regularly, and she explains how a broken, imperfect and leaky vessel brought her back to faith and a life of helping others find light in profound darkness.

In our very first Reboots episode, Arthur Green, artist and bassist for metal band Living Sacrifice talks about living a childhood dream as a musician on world tour. A musician so successful that a teen recognized him one night at a restaurant in his home town, and came back later with a guitar he asked Arthur to autograph. The kicker? Arthur was bussing tables when he signed that axe! He was between gigs and at a crossroads in his life. How’d he get through it? He shares his secret on this podcast.
