Gary recorded this shortly after he was told he only had weeks to live. Gary's faith in Jesus is unwavering. And when you hear how he came to that faith, you will understand why. BTW, the doctor was wrong.

"Ten horse is not fast enough for going, 22 foot long wooden boat", Sam said as he recalled the moments after his side had been laid open by a shotgun blast. When your injury is grave and your situation is dire, inadequate power is not what you need.

"I born Cup'ik, real Eskimo. I didn't born in the spring but I born at grass. No, no spring brat. Sod house, and my blanket is all those grasses put together, and those are my mattress."

Have you ever been so close to death that only the hand of someone else could save you? That's what happened to Fred. In a drunken state, he stumbled off a boat and fell into the water. Had his friend not tried to grab hold of him one last time Fred's story would have ended there. It didn't.

The Storyteller - Week of May 12, 2025

Life at home was not what Charlotte wanted. The alcohol made it difficult for her to be there. So she ran away looking for something better. She hoped that in doing so the authorities would place her in a foster home. They didn't. She eventually met a guy named Fred who then introduced her to what she really needed... and it was better than she could have imagined.

"He said to me, 'You're running away from something... I didn't have the ability to tell him to quit talking to me because he was a good friend of mine. He handed me over a Bible and told me that Jesus could help me."

The medicine man told Lawrence that someone had witched him. Someone wanted him to leave his wife and family, and eventually kill himself. He had turned to the medicine man for help because of how things were going, but what Lawrence needed was something that this man could not provide.

Lawrence was raised on the Navajo reservation in Tuba City, Arizona. He has seen a lot of changes over the years, from dirt roads to paved roads... from horse-drawn wagons to the automobile. He married a Christian gal and his boy believed too. When he hit hard times, God used Lawrence's young son to speak truth to him... but he wasn't ready to listen just yet.

The death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection from the dead three days later are the most important events in human history. Many cultures have different traditions surrounding the time when Christians commemorate these events. Byron shares about Easter pudding, a tradition among his people. He also shares about the significance of Jesus' death and resurrection, both personally, and for whoever will believe.

When Richard finally decided not to worry about what others thought, he publicly put his trust in Jesus. His life changed. Drugs and alcohol were left behind and God restored his marriage.
