Hey, welcome back to the prosperity with purpose podcast I'm Jessica Heffley and we're doing something different today in light of me on my journey which I've been telling you back told you about in the last episodes. Ah 1 of the 5 lessons I learned from my sabbatical and all those things I've got lots of things I want to teach you about business. About working your business about growing your business about multiplying your business and I am here to help you create peace and make more money but I'm also here to help you be obedient to the lord and so this keeps coming up for me so we're gonna do a little pivot and I am gonna teach you about the good news today. The Gospel the good news because there's no point the reason of increasing your influence as overwhelmed business owners business owners the the more that your business grows means you will be impacting in touch in connection with even more people and what is the point of all of it. If we are not helping lead people to the lord. So I had mentioned that I have been kind of binge reading the old testament like from the beginning all the way through and I got up my old study babble if you are watching me on YouTube you can see that what is like this was a really sweet gift of mind. Do you have? what's like. 1 of the oldest things that you've owned that you've had for the longest amount of time like I was going back through and looking through my closet the other day and like do I have anything from when I was in high school and I don't think that I still do but this study bible our little church I grew up in every senior that graduated high school that was like the gift from from church.Is this really nice study bible and engrave your name on it and and so it's big. So I don't carry it around on the time like I I take a smaller one to church or you know just around I have one that's just kind of like the new testament in psalms and proverbs. That's one I study and I read out of most often. But I was I was going through the old testament and got out this old bible. Now why I am so glad I did for the purpose of today is I had and I went to a Christian college and Scott Adaire was the best professor I have ever had. He was a bible teacher and I took every single class that possibly could that he. Taught and sophomore year we we there was a class called life of Christ and he taught us many wonderful things I took I took took at least 3 of his classes if not more but 1 of the things he taught us in that class or we read the case for Christ. And so if you are doubting if Jesus is real or what all this is even about or can it be proof or you're like what? no no about this that is an excellent book and it's also a movie it talks about a husband and a wife and the husband was really really skeptical and he was a journalist and so he went and. Did a bunch of research and even just the history of Jesus like even people who don't believe that Jesus is a savior of the world. There are so many things that lined up with history that it's actually documented by even Non-Christians that this man was real and that he did do miraculous things and so it was really interesting and in his research to prove Jesus wrong. He actually in his research ended up proving Jesus right? So it was really fascinating anyways, that was one of the things the books we read boy back then but he had us right in our bible I'm I'm a big writer in my bible or are you guys. Like I write notes in there or aha moments I put little side things out to the side side notes out to the side and but he had us in the book of Mark write how to lead somebody to Jesus? okay, like it's a literal bible study like flip here then I have arrows written that tells you where to go to the next. And then it questions to ask somebody as you're you're leading them to Jesus or letting them explore letting them see in the word of God for themselves. What? Ah the good book says about Jesus what he did for you how he understands you how he came to be. He was fully God and fully human and all these I'm we're gonna walk through. This we're going to teach you equip you remind you of the good news. The gospel of Jesus Christ but also I want to equip you with a tool for you to help lead somebody to know Jesus Christ so I am going to There's going to be a printout JessicaHefley.com forward slash good news 1 word good news jessicahafley.com/goodnews I will print out each one of these verses that I'm going to cover in today's episode and the questions that you can ask yourself or someone else as you're leading them through this because this is the most important thing. Don't you worry you keep listening. We're gonna talk about our business. We're gonna talk about growing it. We're gonna talk about tangible things. But there just isn't anything else more important to this and I want to be obedient the lord told me to do this so this is what we're gonna do so get your bobbles out with me. We're going to have an old school bible study. Okay, we are bringing back the bible study making bible studies cool again open up your books bibles to Mark chapter 2 this is so fast side note before we get started go ahead and be flipping to Mark one one I am so grateful that my bible professor did this. He literally made us write it in our bibles. We had to copy it on a copy machine that to prove that we did write it in our bibles. Everything that I'm gonna be telling you all the questions that I'm gonna be asking you and we had to turn it in and we got a grade like he he made sure that we did this like he wasn't be like oh this is a good idea to someday lead somebody to Jesus know like this. Thing that he did over twenty years ago that I'm now going to be sharing with you guys is going to bring people to christ like do so I I want to equip you in the same way, get your pin out. At the end of each part that I read I put a little arrow that and then I write the next chapter in verse that we're going to so. It's like okay you read that part and then it goes or arrow tells you where to flip to next? Okay I have any questions about any of this please message me but get the printout so you can follow along or um, just listen along because here we go.We're going to learn about the Good News. The best news of all time. Okay Mark 1:1 says in the the beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ the son of God that's the gospel. The good news. The story of Jesus Christ and then I have an arrow that says. Flip on over or're staying in Mark until the very end. Okay, so that' they're all going to be in the book of Mark Matthew Mark Luke John the beginning of the new new testament go to Mark chapter 4 verse 35 next. Okay, Mark 4:35 I'm going to read, and I'm going to read until it tells me to stop this is like a pretty large section here. But here's what I want you to hear. Okay Mark 4:35 that day when evening came he said to his disciples. This is Jesus saying this. Let us go over to the other side leaving the crowd behind they took him along just as he was in the boat. There was also other boats with him a furious swall came up and the waves broke over the boat. So it was nearly swamped Jesus was in the Stern okay, go let me pause for just a second like they're they're out in the middle of a boat on ah on the water and a huge storm comes like huge waves are coming. And here's what it says Jesus is doing okay I mean it's like rocking the boat I'll not yet, but we just went on a cruise ship and it was pretty There were some storms going on like I couldn't walk a straight line but this was nothing. This was not a cruise ship. This was a little tiny ship. Okay little tiny boat. Um, and here's what this says Jesus doing in verse 38. Ah, Jesus was in the stern sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him up and said to him teacher don't you care if we drown he got up rebuked the wind and said to the waves quiet be still and the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples. Why are you so afraid? do you still have no faith when they were terrified and asked each other who is this even the winds and the waves obey him? Okay, when and in an example of this story. What could man do with that storm. What did man do that with when there was the storms are waving the storms are crashing what could man do and and do nothing. Okay, what could Jesus do with the storm Jesus as the book says calm to the storm he literally calmed the storm. It is good. News that Jesus not us Jesus can calm the storms in your life. Okay I want you guys to keep reading this goes all the way through chapter 5 verse 43 talks a story about the healing of a man who was demon possessed the story of a girl. Um, a dead girl and a woman who was really sick. She had been bleeding for over twelve years like she had this constant bleed I want you guys to read these sorts. Let me just read them. we're we're here let's just do it. Why not? Okay I didn't prep for any of this I want you to know I was like I'm a little nervous. I'm no bible scholar. I am no bible teacher I have never even done what I am doing to you right now with anybody else. But I just couldn't not do it anymore. Okay, so I'm going to let the word of God do the teaching teaching in the talking. So we just realized that Jesus has power over to calm the storms now. Let me read a couple stories I'm just gonna read all the way through and then we're gonna I'm gonna ask you guys some more questions about this? Okay so they went across to across the lake to the region of gu and this seas you also don't know have to you don't know how you don't have to know how to pronounce things. Okay just ski over that. When Jesus got out of the boat a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him this man lived in the tombs and no one could bind him anymore. Not even with the chain for he had often been chained hand and foot but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones when he saw jesus from a distance. He ran and fell on his knees in front of him he shouted at the top of his voice What do you want with me Jesus Son a son of the most high God. Swear to God that you won't torture me for Jesus had come had said to him come out of this man you evil spirit then Jesus asked him what is your name. My name is legion. He replied for. We are many and he begged Jesus again and again not to send him out of the Ur area. A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside, the demons beg Jesus, "Send us among the pigs allow us to go into them." He gave them permission and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs, the herd about 2000 in number, rushed down the steep bank to the lake and were drowned. Tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and the people went out and to see what happened when they had saw when when they came to jesus they saw the man who had been possessed by a legion of demons and he was sitting there dressed and in his right mind and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon possessed man and they told them about the pigs as well. Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region as he was getting into the boat. The man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. Jesus. Did not let him but said go home to your family and tell them how much the lord has done for you and how he has had great mercy on you. So the man went away and began to tell in the diac in the Decopolis and how Jesus what Jesus had done for him and all the people were amazed. Next story when Jesus was again crossed over by a boat to the other side of the lake a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake then one by one excuse me then one of the synagogue rulers named Gyrus came there seeing Jesus he fell on his feet and pleaded earnestly with him little daughter is dying. "Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live." So Jesus went with him. Ah, okay, so this is a guy whose daughter is like sick about to die and he was like he's heard word on the street. Let me get a little bit little little bit of backstory, there's an excellent episode of The Chosen. Ah, kind of covers this as well. But read it from the word first. The word is the truth and then like then you can like see some of it visually in the chosen bit. Um, okay so he has word on the street is that Jesus is can do these miraculous things. He's a healer people are like I don't know. Don't know about this this sounds kind of crazy but he's this guy is desperate. He's like my daughter is about to live if there's excuse me about to die I heard that this man can heal people if there's any chances is but possible I've got to find him I've got you know you're desperate. It's your child and so continuing reading a large crowd followed impressed about him and a woman who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years. A separate lady, she had been bleeding for suffering with something for 12 years she had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had yet instead of getting better she got worse. When she heard about Jesus she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak because she thought her thought her faith. This is what this is what she believed if I just touch his clothes I will be healed immediately. Her bleeding stopped and she felt it in her body that she was freed from her suffering at once Jesus realized the power had gone out from him and he turned around to the crowd and asked who touched my clothes you see the people crowding against you this disciples answered and yet you ask who touched you? Okay, this was like a really crowded people were like pushing claiming. Trying to get through. There's tons of people. Lots of people were touching Jesus but this one particular woman was different but Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it then the woman knowing what had happened to her knowing she had been healed came and fell at his feet trembling with fear told them and told him the whole truth he said to her daughter. Your faith has healed you go in peace and be freed from your suffering while Jesus was still speaking. Some men came into the house of gyrus back to gyrus whose daughter was on the brink of death who your daughter it they came they fight go they find gyrus and they she she died. Okay, so they come like your daughter has died mer. Ah, they said? Okay so why bother teaching anymore and ignoring what they said Jesus told the synagogue ruler don't be afraid just believe he did not let anyone follow him except Peter James and John and the brother of James when they came to the house of the synagogue ruler Jesus saw a commotion with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them "Why all the commotion and wailing this child is not dead but asleep?" but they laughed at him because they knew she was dead but after but but he put he put them all out. He took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him and went in where the child was he took her by the hand and said to her talitha calm which means little girl I say to you get up immediately. The girl stood up and walked around she was twelve years old at this. They were completely astonished. They gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this and they told them to give her something to eat. Okay, this is the first part. We just read some stories if you need to help with some backstories the bible recap I highly recommend it helps and helps you better understand like. What was happening in the culture that day. What some of these things mean what's the backstory on you know, a synagogue ruler named Gyrus. All those things that'll help you explain that. But the gist of this right now is we just read some stories and it is good news that Jesus is it. Let me ask you. But Jesus and comma storm is that good news. We just literally read about him coming a storm Jesus has the power over disaster Jesus has the power over demons Jesus has the power over disease and Jesus has the power over death. Okay, and the beauty of walking somebody through this, you don't have to convince them of anything. They read it for themselves, the truth speaks for themselves. Okay, so over to the next part I literally have an arrow now that says an arrow that says go to 16 chapter 16 verse 1 through 6 so flip over to Mark chapter 16 through 6 so Jesus has the power over disaster demons disease and death. Oh that's pretty awesome. Okay Mark 16 1- 6 when the sabbath was over Mary Magdalene marry the mother of James in. Alone brought spices so that they might go annoint Jesus's body very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise. Okay, this is resurrection this is right after Jesus dies. Okay. They were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb. But when they looked up. They saw that the stone which was very large had been rolled away as they entered the tomb. They saw a young man dress in a white robe sitting on the right side and they were alarmed. Don't be alarmed. He said you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. He is risen say what who was crucified and he's no longer in his grave He is risen.Okay, ah, that's that's into that's it in part one? Okay now we're gonna go on to I have a start now in Mark chapter 1 verse 29 what a cliffhanger dude was dead and now He's alive!Okay, Mark 1:29 so at at Mark 1:29 my bible I have the beginning of start number 2 this is the second part of it here. We go I want you as I'm reading this because this is the good news. Jesus is the good news I want you to come to know. Who Jesus is who Jesus was so in these phrases that I'm going to read next I'm wanting you to find phrases that show that Jesus cares. Okay I want you to get to know Jesus and know that no. Find find find phrases in proof about Jesus Caring so I'm just gonna read for a little bit as soon this part is called Jesus heals mini as soon as they left the synagogue they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with the fever and they told Jesus about her so he went to her. Took her hand and helped her ah the fever left her and she began to wait on him that evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon possessed. The whole town gathered at the door and Jesus hid many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons. But. Would not let the demon speak because they knew who he was very early in the morning while it was still dark Jesus got up left the house and went to a solitary place where he prayed Simon and his companions went to look look for him and when they found him they explain everyone is looking for you. Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else to the nearby villages. So I can preach there also that is why I have come." so he traveled throughout Galilee preaching in in their synagogues and driving out demons. A man with leprosy came for him and begged him on his knees if you are willing you can make me clean, filled with compassion Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man, "I am willing." he said "Be clean.", immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured. Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning see that you don't tell this to anyone, but go show yourself to the priests and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded. Your cleansing as a testimony to them instead. He went out and freely began to talk freely spreading the news as a result Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places yet the people still came to him from everywhere. So, are some phrases you caught during that that was so that Jesus was so filled with compassion. Some backsttor is like why he's still kind of hidden is people more and more and more brave are finding out who he is and so more crowds are coming and did to like it's just a lot It's a lot of people a lot of people and there's a timing that goes with everything and so anyway you I'm not going to explain them back to the backstory right now. But. Why is Jesus so filled with compassion some phrases that I caught is and he gets up early while it is still dark to go and pray for the people. He saw that someone was really really really sick with leprosy and literally said he had compassion on him. He healed so many people that that were brought to him what are some other things that you caught, but why is Jesus so filled with compassion. Does he heal all these people because he understands we want you to see in the truth of God's word that he has compassion is compassion towards those people in need he he wants to help those people in need. Okay, so now we're going to go over er arrow to Mark chapter 6 verse 1 through 6 okay, Jesus left there. This is okay, just left there and went to his hometown hometown accomplished by his disciples when the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue and many who heard him were amazed where did this where did this man get these things they asked. What's this wisdom that he's been given him that he has done done. Miracles isn't this the carpenter's son isn't this ah Mary son and brother of James Joseph Judas and Simon aren't his sisters here too and they took and they took offense at him Jesus said to them, only in his home town among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor. You could not do any miracles there except lay hands on a few sick people and heal them and he was amazed at their lack of faith. Okay, so. Has your family ever. Misunderstood. You has your friends ever misunderstood you maybe taking this back to the context of our businesses have you ever started a business and like your closest inner circle or your friends or your family didn't get. You didn't understand you didn't understand why you're doing what you're doing. And Jesus understands that mark 6 now growing to Mark 6:30-34 the apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all that they had done and taught then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat. He said to them come with me. Ah, by ourselves to a quiet place and get some rest so they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place but many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of him so when Jesus landed the boat and saw a large crowd he had compassion on them. Because they were like sheep without a shepherd so he began teaching them many things you have been stressed out you ever had lots of people who had lots of needed needed lots of things from you. So Jesus did, too. Jesus did too. Okay, now we're going over to Mark chapter 14:32-44 and when they went to a place called Gethsemane and Jesus said to the disciples “Sit here while I pray.” he took Peter, James and John along with them and he began to. Began to be deeply distressed and troubled my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. He said to them stay here and keep watch going a little further. He fell on the ground and prayed if it is possible that this hour might pass from me Abba Father he said everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me yet. Not what I will but what you will then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping Simon said to Peter are you asleep could you not keep watch for 1 hour watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the body is weak. Once more he went away and prayed the same thing when he came back. He again, found them sleeping because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him. Okay, pause. So Jesus is about to be Crucified. He knows he's about to be arrested and crucified and he's just like okay. Yo best friends can you like stay up with me and pray I'm a little bit dis distressed right now. Okay, this is what kind of what's happening back to the ring returning the third time he said to them are you still sleeping and resting enough the hour has come look the son of man is betrayed into the hands of the sinners rise let us go. Here comes my betrayer and just as he was speaking Judas, 1 of the 12 appeared with him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs sent from the chief priests and teachers of the law and the elders and then it says go on to verse 50 then everyone deserted him. And he fled. How do you ever feel alone? Do you ever feel alone? You ever feel like everyone has left you nobody else is is gonna help you? Jesus knows what that feels like Jesus knows. Over to verse 55-56 the chief priests and the whole sanhian were looking for evidence against Jesus so they could put him to death but they did not find any many testified falsely against him but their statements did not agree. Anyone ever started rumor about you anyone ever say something that wasn't true spread a lie Jesus understands so verse 65 then some began to spit at him. They blindfolded him struck him. With their fists and they said prophesy and the guards took him and beat him. Why does he take it. Why does he do this. Why does he let this happen to him and is he identifying what it's like to be bullied, to be spat on, to be lied about.
It took a lot for me and for you on 2 are still in Mark chapter 14:66 through the end of the chapter while Peter was below in the court. 1 of the servant girls at the high priest came by when he saw Peter warming himself but by the fire she looked closely at him. You also were at. We're with that Nazarene Jesus she said but he denied it now. Peter's like 1 of his closest friendss but he denied it I don't know or understand what you're talking about he said and he went into the entryway when the servant girl saw him there she said again to those standing around that fellow is one of them again. Peter Denied it and after a little while though standing near said to Peter surely you are one of them. You are a galilean he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them all I don't know the man that you are talking about immediately. The rooster crowed the second time then Peter remembered the word God had spoken to him. Before the rooster crows twice you will disown me 3 times and he broke down and he wept have you ever had a friend not claim. You pretend to not know you pretend to not be your friend anymore. This just to Mark 15:16-20 the soldiers led Jesus away into the palace and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put a purple robe on him. They twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him and they began to call out to him “Hail! King of the Jews!” again and again. They struck him on the head with the staff and spit on him falling on their knees. They paid homage to him and when they had mocked him they took off the purple robe and put his clothes and put his own clothes on him then they let him out to crucify him. Have you ever been publicly publicly humiliated I mean you probably have but have you to this degree Jesus understands what it feels like to be publicly humiliated on to verse 30 one 32 in the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. He saved us they said but he can't save himself let this christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross that we may see and believe those crucified with him also heaped insults on him have you ever been insulted. Verse 33 and 34 at the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour and at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice Eloy Eoy Laha subbogany which means my God my God why have you forsaken me and. How can you apply that to your life have you ever felt like God was abandoning you and your darkest deepest hour of need. Did you feel like God was abandoning you? Jesus understands verse 37. And with a loud cry Jesus breathed his last and then he died now. Why did he allow this. Why did god go through all the suffering being stressed out being let down by a friend. And being feeling alone having rumors and lies talked about him. Why did he take it. Why did he's had friends not claim him. He's been publicly humiliated. He's been insulted. He's been felt abandoned by god why did he allow all of that. Let's flip over to hebrews the book of Hebrews chapter 4 14 through 16.
Therefore since we have a great high priest who has gone through the who's gone through the heavens Jesus the son of god let us hold firmly to the faith. We we profess for. We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. But we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we might receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. 1 more verse we're gonna go to do you understand what this is saying we have somebody who empathizes understands any of the hardest things we could have ever experienced in our life yet was still without sin. He didn't lose his ever love and mind and. Yeah, all each and every one of those circumstances he carried that weight he carried that burden. Yeah, it was without sin. Let's go over to Hebrews 2:14-18. This is the last one. Okay, since the children have flesh and blood. He too shared in in their humanity so that by his death. He might destroy him who holds the power of death that is the devil he endured all of this. to destroy death to destroy the devil verse 15 and free. Those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death or held in slavery by um, by the devil. For surely. It is not angels he helps but Abraham's descendants which is us for this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to god and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted. He is able to help those who are tempted he understands he endured all of it. he took on scorning the shame he took on all of it so we wouldn't have to we sinners deserve death deserve destruction but when we choose to partner with Jesus when we choose to believe that he did this for us. He died for us. That's it. You just have to believe that I believe in yours like it's that simple and and so I just wanted to walk you through this I wanted to equip you with these verses for you to go back through. You can do this more slowly. Take your time with them better see. And through the lenses of everything that Jesus did Jesus endured Jesus' ' died for you that is the good news. Don't have to complicate it I think a lot of times, especially if you've grown up as a christian and you've kind of knowned this story your whole life. It's kind of like well how do I lead somebody to Jesus? How do I share the good news. You know here's a simple way to and then if you have never accepted Jesus as your lord and savior it is as simple like you can repeat this prayer with me right now like it's just so simple. Okay, let's all you can say with me out loud dear god I know that I have sinned and I want to ask for your forgiveness I believe that Jesus Died for my sins you just have to believe that he died for you. He did all of this for you I believe that Jesus Died for my sins and I now accept your offer of eternal life I will follow Jesus as my savior and try to obey him and all I do thank you for my new life in you in the name of Jesus I pray Amen believe and accept, but Jesus has done for you and you will be saved. So if you've never done this before then I highly encourage you to plug into your local church or local mentor. Go get baptized like let there be a public declaration that you believe that Jesus Died for your sins he understood you he can relate to you. He took on the sin of the world. So whenever you're you're feeling the weight wait wait wait that was not meant for you that is for him to carry that he carried and he died and you and partner with him in dying and resurrecting a new life. That's the good news. That's the Gospel. It's all right here. In the bible verse by verse go check it out for yourself and know that the purpose of growing your business as I teach on on prosperity with purpose as I mentor people in my twelve week mentorship on how to create more peace and make more money in their business. A huge part of that is for you to change culture influence culture to bring more people to christ as you grow your business because you have something to offer. You have something that helps them tangibly yes, give the man a fish give them some bread but you also have something to offer them that will save their soul. So god bless you all. Um, thanks for a little pivot on this week's episode. Not like the traditional but probably maybe nope is the most important podcast episode I have ever done so I am so grateful for the gift of cheese I'm grateful that I got it.
Share a glimpse if you didn't know him of what he was really this is just a taste of what he's really like of what he really offers. Um I'm going to give a plug for the chosen. It's ah it's a Tv series. It's ah it's free and. And I mean you get in the scriptures and read the scriptures for yourself, but it's a beautiful way to bring Jesus to life in a tangible way that sometimes is hard for our 2 d brains to understand when we're reading words on paper but you'll understand. You'll better understand the compassion that he has for you so start from the beginning I think we're about to be on season 4 of the chosen. But and start from the beginning and get past episode 1 episode. 1 may be hard weird different making make my might might make you feel uncomfortable. But every episode after that like we watched with our children they lead on top of each other and they have always pointed me back to the word of god to read and study for myself. So don't take you don't want your faith be anybody else's and don't overcomplicate it Jesus Died for you accept that. And believe that and you'll have eternal life bless you guys.
