Welcome to The Also Called Podcast! In today’s episode, we'll meet two writers from our soon-to-be-released book, The Other Disciples. Today, we’re diving into the savvy and sassy, Photini, also known as The Woman at the Well, our eleventh disciple from the book written by Andrea Bufkin, and the patient final disciple, Elizabeth Zechariah, and her answered prayer, written by Asha Junot.
Join us as we discover who they were, their remarkable experiences, Photini’s enlightening interaction with Jesus, and Elizabeth’s ache and awe, as we consider what their stories offer us today. Get ready for the journey into the heart of grateful and surrendered followers—let’s get started!
