    DEATH OF A SOUL

    Here is where it all starts to click, FINALLY! DEATH OF A SOUL is the first podcast of a new season for The Book of Jo Podcast Listener. It's the episode where hard questions are answered and truth really is plainly stated. THANK GOD! Finally, a faith we can truly follow in confidence and without fear! Yes. It's a little long, but in a great way, because it leaves the spiritual listener feeling validated, the content is complete, answering lots of questions we naturally have had as believers. Even the religious listener is presented with so much new clarity. YOU WANT TO MAKE TIME FOR THIS ONE; IF YOU'VEALWAYS FELT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THEY'RE NOT SAYING IN THE PULPIT! Jo. came to take out so much gray. Get your snacks, and KJV Bible. Be ready to pause and flip and read along. This one is so good. __________ OH, AND HERE'S SOME TIME MARKERS, IN CASE YOU LOSE YOUR PLACE: 0:00 - The Opening - "It all starts to click" Jo. promises that this is the episode that roots us in all we have learned together and that it refreshes in a way that everything becomes so clear. 13:45 - The Book of Jo Theme song - All Around the World [Shame] - Streaming Now on Spotify 14:45 - A Prayer for the Listener 16:50 - Today's Scriptures 17:30 - Free Will of the Soul - Where our Free Will exists and what it truly is. 25:06 - Alignment - What it means to be in alignment with God's will for you 31:11 - The Heart for Christ - an examination of righteousness and the heart posture of a Christian 36:00 - The Heart for God- an examination of the kind of heart The Almighty God would approve 43:45 - Ni Neno Imara - A swahili interlude by THE BLACKLOVESMITHS meaning God's word is final, strong and true. 45:00 - DEUTERONOMY 30 - REBIRTH + CHOOSING LIFE - A strong case for reincarnation and a call for the re-examination of Jesus's slaughter as the will of Moses' God. 1:18 - Brought Me Out - An ode to Exodus 20:1 by THE BLACKLOVESMITHS [unreleased] 01:19:43 - DEUTERONOMY 30 [Continued] - CHOOSE LIFE ACCORDING TO MOSES - Moses makes a clear distinction between life and death.

    GOOD + SCARY: What it Truly means to FEAR a Good God

    In this episode, Jo. addresses how "fear" changes form, the closer we get to knowing how GOOD God is. While most of us are scared of God's wrath, many of us have no idea how fearing the LORD actually looks, on a day to day basis. How do we "fear God", when we believe God to be GOOD, honest and clear? What does it look like to love Him and be terrified, when He is good and fear is bad? Seriously. Let's get into it! You'll really want your snacks and sweats for this one. It just might be the day, you and The Creator see eye to eye... That would be so dope.

    MENTAL BLINDESS

    If you can't hear the word of the book, Jo teaches that the outcome will be blindness. Everyone knows Christianity often produces a strong defense in faith, but no one was more defensive than Jo when she was a follower of Christ. Still here we are in sweats, learning from the bible that has all the truth, IF we allow ourselves to hear with the ears God made us. Get your sweats. This one is for those still open to understanding

    THE DREAM TRANSPARENCY [SPEND THAT]

    With the chatter around Spend That... Jo. was led to remind us of what it means to have choices in music to soundtrack life, but the main focus is choosing the walk of a true Hebrew, which means we live under the gaze of God, willingly. It's not so easy to do when you plan to scam and boost your way to wealth. Still, it's all good if we keep God in it cause he'll stop those thoughts and redirect you. Go get some snacks and sweats, this one is good!

    THE RAM IN THE BUSH- REVISITED

    Most of us know the Genesis 22 story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son. But when Jo. shares with a friend her views on Human Sacrifice and its misalignment with God, this story may need to be reviewed. Grab your snacks and your sweats, because this week, we need to know if God would ever ask us to do something that He would never want to see done.
