The story of Sodom and Gomorrah may not have a very happy ending, but it has several important lessons. I mention one during the episode introduction. Another lesson was pointed out by my pastor this week. Once you choose Jesus... don't look back. "Remember Lot's wife" is a warning in Luke 17:32.We are reading from Genesis 13, 18, and 19.In order to remain eligible for the ads program, I need to use at least one ad in one episode.

We finish up Galatians with chapter 4 through 6! Paul continues encouraging the people of Galatia to rely on faith in Jesus for their salvation instead of the law of Moses. He reminds them that they are children of Abraham and heirs to God's kingdom. He also lists out the desires of sinful nature, contrasted by the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

We have had several requests for the book of Galatians! There will be two parts to cover the entire book. Paul visited Galatia when he traveled, sharing about Jesus. Now he is writing to the church there about several topics, including circumcision and the true source of salvation--faith in the Messiah.
We are reading Galatians 1 through 3.

Friends, I'm excited about this episode. It's a gripping one. You never win when you try to go against God! The Philistines learned this the hard way when they stole the Ark of the Covenant. This is also when Samuel becomes Israel's judge.
We are reading 1 Samuel 4 through 7.

The past few weeks I've been able to return to church--praise God! I've been watching from home for two years because of my health. The last sermon's main verse was from the book of James. It really caught my attention and I knew in that instant that I wanted the next episode to be the book of James. There is a lot of good advice here, including suggestions for healing, which I have been considering. As always, thank you for your patience!
We are reading the entire book of James.

Tonight we continue on in the books of Acts. The apostles are spreading the good news and healing the sick, but they are met with opposition. They decide to appoint seven men to assist with some other duties. Stephen is one of those men. We do not get the typical happy ending with this story. I can't imagine going through what he did. Here we are also introduced to Saul who later becomes Paul. To continue the story, go to the episode called Saul of Tarsus.
We are reading Acts 4:32 through 7.

**Formerly known as The Twelve**
I'm not sure why but I felt really encouraged to read the beginning of Acts about the disciples being sent out into the world to heal and preach about Jesus. Maybe it's because I've gotten so into The Chosen, which helped bring all of them to life. It's interesting that they didn't just stick with eleven apostles. Numbers mean something to God and twelve is seen quite a bit throughout the Bible.
I speak some Spanish and years ago, when my husband and I were traveling in Colombia, we took an Uber to the airport. Our Uber driver turned out to be a Christian who was no longer attending church, but he expressed that he felt bad about having drifted away from God. We had just heard an amazing sermon on following God and being obedient, even if you don't necessarily have the WILL to do it. We may not always have the will, but what we do have is a CHOICE. We can choose to do the right thing, and then the will will follow. I explained this concept to him and the Spanish was fluently flowing out of me. I know it was God giving me that ability. It was such an unreal feeling. The driver got very emotional while we were speaking, and we prayed with him once we arrived to the airport. I praise God for that divine appointment and the gift He gave me in the moment to help that man.
We are reading Acts 1 through 4, stopping at verse 31.

**Trigger warning for this episode: asthenophobia**I apologize that we don't have a good Mother's Day story tonight, but Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there! We have officially hit 50 episodes, and are returning to the book of Daniel--chapters 7 through 9--covering the first three visions. It may not be the most relaxing story... but it's definitely an important one. The books of Daniel and Revelation provide so much insight to the end of time. Let's all pray for wisdom and understanding when reading and hearing these books.ClevrBlends Sleeptime Latte: https://www.clevrblends.com/discount/BLONDE15?rfsn=6713548.9b6046fIf you have been blessed by this podcast and would like to show your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bedtimebiblestoriesadults/support

We have a very special episode tonight. It's one of my favorite weekends of the year. We get to focus on and remember the incredible sacrifice that our Savior made for us. What a mixture of emotions. Intense sadness for the pain and agony he went through. It's really tough on my heart to hear that part. But imagine the JOY on Sunday. He is RISEN!We are reading from the New Living Translation:Luke 22:1-6Matthew 26:17-29Luke 22:31-71Luke 23Luke 24:1-12Matthew 28:11-15Luke 24:13-49Mark 16:19-20John 21:25If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like to show your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bedtimebiblestoriesadults/support

We continue the story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Thank you to my mother for suggesting this story! There is a big celebration. The Israelites are confessing their sins and promising to follow the Laws of Moses and of God. They are feasting and singing. But then, Nehemiah leaves, and it seems like everything crumbles. Listen to what happens when he returns.If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like to show your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bedtimebiblestoriesadults/support

Nehemiah was known for his strong faith in God and his devotion to his Jewish heritage. When he heard of the damage in Jerusalem, he was very concerned about the Jewish people and the city itself. He received God's calling to oversee the rebuilding of the city walls. This story shows us the incredible impact that one person can have.We are reading Nehemiah chapters 1 through 6.CozyEarth.com - limited time code HEATHER3946.If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like to show your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bedtimebiblestoriesadults/support

Becoming king at the young age of 25, Hezekiah did what was good and right before the Lord. He was quite the opposite of his wicked father, King Ahaz.

Can you imagine giving away your child to serve in the temple forever? Hannah wanted one so desperately that she was willing to make that promise to God. And thank goodness she did!

The world's first murder. Is anyone else shocked at how soon this happened? I certainly am. How much grief Adam and Eve must have felt. Although the Bible doesn't go into detail, things go downhill after that, and the world becomes so wicked that God regrets having made mankind.This is an account of the events following "In the Beginning" and preceding "Noah and the Ark."

In recognition of the New Year, I wanted to tell a story about new beginnings. This is the story of one of the most powerful transformations in the Bible. Saul of Tarsus was born somewhere between 5 BC and 5 AD. He walked this earth the same time as Jesus, but never met him in person, and went on to become a well-known Pharisee. He mercilessly persecuted followers of Jesus, until a dramatic confrontation with God changed his life forever.We are reading Acts 8 and 9.If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like to show your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.

If you heard the Fiery Furnace episode, now we are reading the next three chapters of Daniel--4, 5, and 6. They are really three separate stories in one, with three separate kings. Two involve interpretation and the last one, a huge test of faith. It's incredible, the faith that Daniel had.If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like to show your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bedtimebiblestoriesadults/support

The long-awaited part 2 is finally here! Friends, my health kept me from being able to finish this episode earlier. Ironic, right? But God is good, and it's here. I tried to make the parts equal in length, but as you can see, I was not successful. Some of the stories in part 2 are longer. And the last story finishes it off with a bang! Jesus knows how to wow us and bring glory to God!We are reading several passages from the Gospels.If you have been blessed by this podcast and would like to show your support with a $1 donation, please go to paypal.me/hcharltoncrespin.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bedtimebiblestoriesadults/support
