    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 life-changing story of a very little-known woman, Susanna, the fifth disciple from the book written by Sabeth Kapahu, and Mary of Nazareth, our sixth follower, written by Katrina Carson.  Join us as we discover who they were, their remarkable experiences, and Susanna’s generous response to her healing by Jesus, and a new way of considering Mary’s “Yes!” to God’s ask. We’ll explore the lessons from their lives, ministries, and deep love for Jesus, and consider what their stories offer us today.
