What if you could see your circumstances the way God sees them — from above the battle, not beneath it? Graham Cooke continues the anatomy of a good fight with the story of Elisha at Dothan, where one man saw an army and another saw horses and chariots of fire. Discover why living in the presence of God is the first aspect of warfare, why the kingdom's odds make this not a fair fight, and what it means to develop a mindset centered on majesty.Key Scriptures:+ 2 Kings 6:16-17. "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them... And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."+ 1 John 4:4. "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."+ 1 John 5:4-5. "Whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith."+ 1 John 4:17. "As He is, so also are we in this world."+ Ephesians 2:6. "And raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."Want to explore more?

The crew digs into the lore behind some of the most charged objects in paranormal circulation: the infamous Demon Toaster, rocks taken from Bell Witch Cave, worn items from the Moffat Family haunting, a Ouija board made from Bobby Mackey's original sign, and a rare doll from the Warren Museum collection. JC also unveils the Omega Helmet, an electromagnetic light-sequencing device built on the foundation of the legendary God Helmet, and explains why even Jeremy Leonard swore he would never wear one again. The conversation gets into the philosophy of paranormal investigation: why older equipment often outperforms newer tech, how fear sharpens perception, and why the prettiest thing in the room might be the most dangerous. Plus, catch details on an upcoming live investigation at Willard Public Library and your chance to own a piece of Warren Museum history.

Tiny Expeditions - A Podcast about Genetics, DNA and Inheritance
Welcome to a brand-new season of the Tiny Expeditions! This season, we're heading to the heart of the Wiregrass region in Alabama to explore a groundbreaking initiative: HudsonAlpha WIREGRASS Peanut Project. Dothan, Alabama, is known as the "Peanut Capital of the World," but the industry faces modern challenges like drought and disease. Enter biotechnology. We're going behind the scenes to see how HudsonAlpha is using genome-directed breeding to create a more resilient peanut, and they aren't doing it alone. In this season, you'll meet the local high school students who are stepping out of the classroom and into the lab. Through the WIREGRASS Peanut Project, these student scientists are performing 31-step DNA extractions and analyzing genomic data to help breeders select the crops of the future. In this season, we explore: The Science: How genomics is "future-proofing" our food supply. The Education: How local schools are becoming hubs for biotech innovation. The Future: How the new Wiregrass Innovation Center is attracting biotech companies and high-wage jobs to the region.

This is a very special edition of Regional Rasslin' as Guest Co-Host Aaron Gartlan has made a special Patreon request and joins Ray Russell to discuss an era and territory that is very near and dear to his heart... Aaron has selected to discuss the transformation of his native Alabama's Southeastern Championship Wrestling over to Continental Wrestling in 1985. Gartlan goes back in time to talk childhood memories with friends, attending events at the old Houston County Farm Center in Dothan, growing up on Gulf Coast, Southeastern and eventually Continental. From there, they discuss the 1985 roster, the title belts, how promoter Ron Fuller was able to make the best of his talent, and of course the storylines leading into the "big change". Storylines range from Championship battles to blackmail to racial tension, and everything in between. Talent featured... Ron Fuller, The Flame (Jody Hamilton), Lord Humongous, "Bullet" Bob Armstrong, Boomer H. Lynch, Pork Chop Cash, Nightmares, RAT Patrol, Bill Ash, and more stars of the territory! Finally, the duo recap the very first episode of CCW from June 15, 1985, as we say so long to Charlie Platt (for now) and welcome Gordon Solie to add to the "big league" feel of the new program from Birmingham's Boutwell Auditorium.

Sunday Morning WorshipA Life Worthy of the King - Colossians 1:9-14Dr. Paul ThompsonApril 19, 2026Notes | https://calvarydothan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026_04_19_1.pdf
Elder Mike Matthews delivers a message on providence in the life of Joseph.
Todaywe are continuing in Philippians 1and we will be looking at verses 12–18 overthe next few days. Here in verse 12 we are talking about when life does notgo as planned—when your plans fall apart and it seems like nothing ishappening the way you dreamed or thought God intended for your life. You mayfind yourself wondering, “What is this all about?” TheApostle Paul could have asked that same question, but he looked at it in adifferent light. He begins talking about his circumstances here in verse 12. “But I want you to know, brethren, that thethings which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of thegospel" Thinkabout it—Paul is in prison. He is in chains. He is restricted. His plans havebeen interrupted. If I remember correctly, he had even planned to go on toSpain, but now he is in a prison in Rome. He is writing to his beloved friendsthere at Philippi. Yet he says that what has happened to him, as he sits in aRoman prison, has actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel. It hashelped move the gospel forward. Youknow, my friend, life does not always go as we plan it. The truth is, God isstill on the throne. God is still at work. Even in our setbacks, even in ourdisappointments, even in situations we would never choose for ourselves, Godcan use it all. What looks like a detour to us is often part of God's designand God's plan. Oneof the best stories in the Bible that illustrates this is the story of Joseph.God had a plan for Joseph to save his family. Even as a child, he began to havevisions and dreams of how God was going to use him in a special way. One day,he went to check on his ten brothers. What he saw was not good. He returned andgave his father, Jacob, an honest report about them, but it was not a good one.As a result, his brothers—already envious of him because he seemed to be theirfather's favorite—grew to hate him. Later,when they had the opportunity at Dothan, they threw him into a pit. At first,they even considered killing him, but instead they sold him into slavery andmade money on him. Joseph ended up in Egypt. Now obviously things were notgoing according to Joseph's plans. He had seen visions and dreams ofgreatness—of the stars and even his family bowing before him. Yet now he was aslave in Potiphar's house. Fora time, things went well. But then Potiphar's wife tried to seduce him. Herefused, and she falsely accused him. As a result, he was thrown into prison.Again, things did not seem to be going well. Yet even there, the hand of theLord was with him, and he made the best of his situation. Eventually, as youknow, he was brought before Pharaoh. He interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and waselevated to a position of authority—second only to Pharaoh in all of Egypt. Yearslater—about twenty-two years later—his brothers came to Egypt to buy foodduring the famine. Joseph recognized them, and instead of seeking revenge, hehelped them. He provided for them and eventually brought his entire family toEgypt. After their father Jacob died, his brothers feared that Joseph mightfinally take revenge. They came to him and pleaded for forgiveness. But Josephsaid, “No, no. You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.”(Genesis 50:19-20) Myfriend, when your plans fall apart and life does not go as expected, rememberthis: God still has a plan. God is still at work. He can use you right whereyou are, no matter what your circumstances may be. As you think about thesethings today, be encouraged—God is still on the throne. Godbless and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

In 2 Kings 6:8–17, what is happening in both the visible (Aramean army) and invisible (heavenly army) realms? What does this reveal about God's power and activity? 2. The kings of Israel at this time are described as doing “evil in the eyes of the Lord,” yet God is still actively protecting Israel through Elisha; what does this tell us about how God works through His prophets even when leaders and nations are spiritually off track? Grow in Christlikeness (Heart – loving God and aligning our desires) 1. The servant is overwhelmed with fear until God opens his eyes; where in your life do you feel surrounded or afraid right now, and how might God want to reshape your perspective? 2. Elisha's story includes chariots of fire both when Elijah is taken up (2 Kings 2) and when the heavenly army surrounds Dothan (2 Kings 6); what might God be showing about His power and presence through these repeated images? 3. We often internalize our fears, but the servant speaks out (“What shall we do?”); how might sharing your fears with a mature believer (an “Elisha” figure) change your experience of those fears? Show Christ to the world (Hands – living on mission) 1. Who is an “Elisha” in your life—someone who can encourage you with truth and pray for you—and what is one step you can take this week to intentionally connect with them, or begin becoming that kind of person for someone else?

3-24-26 Tonight we're talking with Melody and Kyle Stout, the new owners of Spacetime Mead and Cider in Dunmore, PA. They bought and took over Spacetime from owner and mead-maker Dan Schreffler has retired to take time for, well, whatever he decides to do on any given day. They are the next generation for Space Time! Melody began homebrewing in fall 2021, and really got into it, like it does for so many. She continued and got her BCJP Mead Judge certification in spring 2024. Her meads have done well in competition, including at Valhalla, the Mead Stampede and Your Honey or Your Life. Medaled in multiple competitions including Valhalla; Mead Stampede, and Your Honey or Your Life In late 2025, Melody and Kyle bought Spacetime from Dan, and Melody and Kyle will be working closely with Dan to fully transition the winery into their care over the next few years. Kyle isn't a mead maker, but he is handling the marketing side of the meadery. “We make high-quality craft mead and cider with high-quality ingredients and local ingredients as much as possible. And we typically make sci-fi and fantasy-themed meads and ciders, along with some others. We're very focused on providing the highest quality and the most excellent product that we can provide,” said Stout. Stout said Space Time's offerings are locally inspired, and she shares some of the fan-favorite selections. “One of the things that sets us apart is that we are a PA Preferred Winery, which means that about 75% of our product is made using local ingredients. That's not very common in this area. There's not a lot of PA Preferred Winery, and we're very proud of receiving that designation. So, it's really important to us to maintain that designation and have products that are high-quality and locally inspired,” said Stout.

The Alabama Mural Trail beckons visitors to enjoy a walking tour of outdoor art! Today, Kara Campbell begins our In Focus series in Dothan, home to more than twenty murals about Wiregrass history and culture.
In this episode, Kyle sits down with Coach Jimmie Tyson, the new Defensive Coordinator at Dothan High School in Alabama. Coach Tyson brings over 20 years of coaching experience, including six years at Florida A&M University and nearly a decade as Defensive Coordinator at Lincoln High School in Tallahassee, one of the top programs in the state of Florida.Coach Tyson walks through how a post-practice conversation with his offensive coordinator changed the way he called defense, how studying Mike McDonald's work at Baltimore and Seattle led to building a coverage matrix, and how his staff developed a one-word call system that lets them run the same blitz path with completely different coverages week to week.Topics covered include non-traditional Tampa 2 with the nickel as the hole runner, dropping ends as hook players, disguising zero coverage while dropping into Tampa, changing assignments based on opponent tendencies, stem work, cadence reads, player buy-in through ownership of pressures, and why every player on the defense needs to understand every role.Coach Tyson also closes the show with two of the most unique things he has seen done at the program level, including a staff development system he brought from college and a team competition model at Dothan that produced 95 percent summer attendance last year.If you coach defense at any level, this one is worth your time.For more content, visit us at www.boarddrill.com.

2-24-26 Tonight at 9PM ET, we're talking with Ryan Kretchmer, owner of Barbarian Mead, a meadery in planning in the Philadelphia area. Like many people, Ryan has lived a quiet, normal life growing up in the suburbs of Chicago — quietly wrestling tigers in the Roman Colosseum, serving as a United States Senator, accepting a beauty pageant crown, conducting questionable laboratory experiments, and occasionally floating through low Earth orbit as an astronaut. Unfortunately, a demanding schedule of international diplomacy, space travel, and tiger hand-to-hand combat made it difficult to maintain a work-life balance, so he reluctantly retired from his many prestigious careers. The official story is “career exploration.” The real story is that the tigers unionized and HR got involved. In reality, Ryan is married to amazing and beautiful woman named Mary, who has given him more patience then he usually deserves...and a house full of dogs. He spent many years working as a general contractor and carpenter, building and renovating homes. After a serious health scare forced him to reassess life and priorities, he stepped away from the physically demanding side of construction and transitioned into working as a quality inspector, where he now evaluates new homes for several national builders. While he no longer swings a hammer all day, the attention to detail and problem-solving mindset followed him into his next unexpected chapter. That chapter began one morning slightly hungover when he checked his email and discovered he had apparently purchased a mead-making kit the night before. Instead of canceling the order, he decided to see what would happen — and promptly fell down a very deep rabbit hole. What started as curiosity turned into an obsession. To date he has made more than 180 batches of mead. He plans to eventually operate **Barbarian Meadery**, where creativity, experimentation, and a refusal to take himself too seriously are part of the process. There are many more batches — and probably a few more questionable late-night purchases — still to come. Cheers.

Founded in 2018, they have experienced rapid growth in the early years of operation and disappointment in the post COVID years. After right-sizing the operation and focusing on small batch production, as they did when founded, they've added a new fan base and are reshaping the way mead is perceived and enjoyed. W A Meadwerks will be celebrating its 8th anniversary this year with a focus on barrel aged meads. The celebration starts on Mead Day, Aug 1st and ends on their anniversary Sept 8th.

2-3-26 We're doing a pre-recorded episode today! We are talking with Krzysztof Jarek and Mateusz "maTEJ" Błaszczyk, meadmakers and founders of the Mead Madness Cup and the European Mead Makers Association. Kings of Mead represent the powerhouse duo of Krzysztof Jarek and Mateusz "maTEJ" Błaszczyk, two recognizable mead authorities in Europe. Hailing from Poland—the global heart of mead tradition—both have been crafting mead for over 15 years, blending deep-rooted heritage with modern innovation. As cornerstones of the global mead community, they launched their YouTube channel over 8 years ago, becoming pioneers in digital mead education and inspiring a generation of makers worldwide. As Master MJP (Mead Judging Programme) judges, they have trained the vast majority of European mead judges, conducting certification courses across the UK, South Korea, Belgium, Poland, Lithuania, Spain, Norway, Italy, and Mexico. Their leadership is fundamental to the industry: Mateusz "maTEJ" Błaszczyk is the visionary initiator of both the European Mead Makers Conference (EMMcon) and the Mead Madness Cup. He is also a published author of books on mead making. Krzysztof Jarek has served as the Director of the Mead Madness Cup since 2019, overseeing its growth into one of largest and most prestigious competitions. In a landmark move for the industry, Kings of Mead are coming to the USA this year to conduct the first-ever MJP (Mead Judge Programme) training in the United States. This historic event marks a bridge between the ancient traditions of Europe and the vibrant, growing American mead scene.

Sunday Morning WorshipLoving God When Life Finally Works - 2 Samuel 2:1–4; 5:1–5 Psalm 20:6-9; Psalm 21Dr. Paul ThompsonFebruary 1, 2026Notes | https://calvarydothan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026_02_01_1.pdf
1-27-26 Tonight we're talking with Ryan Carlson again. He had a lot of information, and we just ran out of time last time! Ryan is a Colorado mead maker who has been making mead for quite a while. Those of you who have listened to the early GML episodes may remember him. He has been quiet publicly for a few years, dealing with personal things, but during that quiet time, he's also been doing a lot of learning and experimentation to deepen his mead making expertise. I'll just let Ryan tell you himself: Hi, my name is Ryan. Some of you will know me from the mead world going back a long way. Some of you won't know me at all — and that's just fine. I was very active in mead for many years, right up until around 2020. Then life hit hard. Multiple things at once. Survival mode. For about five years I was mostly just circling the drain and trying to stay upright. Things are finally closer to normal now, and I guess you could say I'm back in the saddle. I've been a successful meadmaker for a long time. I'm a certified judge. I've taught hundreds of people — maybe more — how to make good mead. I love teaching, but I'm picky about it. I only teach what I've lived. I only teach what I can prove. If someone wants receipts, I can bury Mount Rushmore with them. I also teach mead in a way most people have never experienced. From here forward, I'll be approaching things a little differently. We're going to “get small.” We're going to pretend we're a single-celled yeast and jump down inside Mead City. We'll look at fermentation from the inside of the vessel outward and change our perspective completely. Mead is going to do what mead does. Yeast is going to do what yeast does. When we actually understand the science and biology, our job isn't control — it's assistance. We learn when the window opens, and when it does, we can hand the yeast exactly what they need so they can do the job they were already built to do. Most of the time, when people don't understand what's happening, they get in the way. They step on the yeast without realizing it. They try to force outcomes that biology simply doesn't allow, and they miss the chance to co-create. My goal is to help raise everyone's bar by changing perspective first, then layering in real science and real biology — not folklore, not wives' tales, and not parroted bad science. If you want to understand mead well enough that you don't have to beg for recipes anymore — recipes that often produce mediocre results at best — then this is a good place to sit down with us and learn the craft the way it's actually lived.

JAN. 13, 2026Be sensitive to God's presence."Lord...open his eyes that he may see." 2Ki 6:17 NKJVOne morning in a city called Dothan, a servant of the prophet Elisha awoke and was terrified because an enemy army surrounded him and his boss. "What shall we do?" he cried.Elisha told him to chill out, for "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Then Elisha prayed for him: "Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw that they were surrounded by horses and chariots of fire-the power of God and protection of God (see vv. 15-17 NKJV). As a result, their enemies were neutralized. What if this became your prayer as well? What if every time you were challenged or burdened, God opened your spiritual eyes to see that you too were surrounded by His power and protection? It happened to two followers of Jesus who were walking on the road to Emmaus after the crucifixion. A third man joined them. It was Jesus, walking and talking with them—but they didn't recognize Him until He began to pray. And then they knew. Then they said, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?" (Lk 24:32 NKJV). What if you were on the road to Emmaus, commuting into work, school, or home-and Jesus was right there beside you? What if you could join the "fellowship of the burning heart" and actually experience His presence? You can. Just reach for Him, recognize Him, and respond to Him.Be sensitive to God's presence Reach for Him, recognize Him, and respond to Him.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

In this episode, we're sitting down with someone who embodies honesty, resilience, and a whole lot of Jesus — Stephanie Horton. Stephanie has been married to her college sweetheart, Joshua, for sixteen years, and together they've served in ministry just as long. They live in Dothan, Alabama, where Joshua pastors Timbers Drive Church. Stephanie homeschools their three kids, teaches English online, and is fueled by good coffee, real conversations, and the belief that everyone carries a story worth telling. One of her favorite quotes comes from Katie Davis Majors: “If one person sees the love of Christ in me, it's worth every minute.” — and after hearing her today, you'll see just how deeply she lives that out.Stephanie opens up about her journey as a pastor's wife — including the raw truth of walking through a toxic, spiritually abusive church environment. She shares how it all started on day one, how the slow wear of ministry politics took a toll, and ultimately how stepping away brought unexpected freedom, healing, and hope. Through community support, prayer, and a deep trust that God was teaching them every step of the way, Stephanie and her family found their footing again.This is a vulnerable conversation — full of wisdom, humor (yes, she admits she needs some spending cash and will absolutely buy you coffee), and the kind of honesty that reminds every pastor's wife: you're human, your story matters, and there is always hope on the other side.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

This a Messianic Torah reflection on Genesis 37:1-36, focusing on the life and story of Yosef (Joseph), son of Ya'achov (Jacob), and its prophetic and spiritual significance. It explores the patriarchal sojourning in the promised land, the familial dynamics, and the parallels between Yosef's experiences and the life and ministry of Yahoshua Messiah (Jesus). Patriarchal Sojourners in the Promised Land Ya'achov settles in the land of Canaan, the land promised by Yehovah, continuing the pattern of the patriarchs sojourning in the promised land without fully possessing it, as noted in Hebrews 11:8-10. Ya'achov returns to Hebron, the home of his father Yitschaq, who never left this place . The Story of Yosef as the Story of Ya'achov The narrative shifts from Ya'achov to his son Yosef, whose story is central to the continuation of the covenant promises. Yosef is portrayed as a vessel chosen by Yehovah to preserve Yisra'el, despite rejection and persecution by his brothers. His life is seen as a prophetic shadow of Yahoshua Messiah . Family Dynamics and Yosef's Role Yosef, at 17 years old, is shepherding his brothers' flocks and assumed to be the "Son of the Covenant." His favored status by Ya'achov and his unique character set him apart. The Hebrew term for "tended" implies Yosef shepherded his brothers, especially those of Bilhah and Zilpah's sons. Reuben, the eldest, though complicit in Yosef's near enslavement, intervenes to save his life, unknowingly cooperating with Yah's plan . Ya'achov's Love and the Birthright Question Ya'achov's love for Yosef, his son of old age and Rachel's firstborn, causes jealousy among the brothers. Yosef receives a special garment, the "ketonet passim," often interpreted as a long-sleeved or multi-colored tunic symbolizing his favored status and possibly his appointment as clan leader, replacing Reuben due to his transgression . Brothers' Hatred and Rejection of Yosef The brothers' hatred stems from Ya'achov's love for Yosef and Yosef's role as a family tattler. Their rejection of Yosef reflects a rejection of their father and Yehovah. This familial rejection parallels how Yeshua was rejected by Judah for being beloved by His Father . Yosef's Prophetic Dreams and Their Impact Yosef shares two prophetic dreams symbolizing his future authority over his brothers. The first involves sheaves of grain bowing to his sheaf, and the second depicts the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowing to him, representing his family. These dreams intensify the brothers' hatred, though Ya'achov ponders their meaning carefully. These dreams foreshadow Yosef's exaltation in Egypt and reflect a common ancient Near Eastern motif of paired dreams . Preparation for Yosef's Trials and Glorification Yosef's journey toward exaltation involves trials and refining, much like the future glorification of Yeshua Messiah, who foretold the hardships His disciples would endure. Yosef's obedience to his father's mission parallels Yeshua's obedience to His Heavenly Father's will . Yosef's Mission to Find His Brothers Ya'achov sends Yosef to check on his brothers pasturing in Shechem, a dangerous area with a troubled family history. Yosef's persistence in seeking his brothers despite challenges parallels Yeshua's mission to seek and save the lost. A mysterious man redirects Yosef to Dothan, possibly an angelic figure, highlighting divine guidance in fulfilling Yah's plan . The Brothers' Conspiracy and Reuben's Intervention The brothers plot to kill Yosef but Reuben intervenes, forbidding bloodshed and planning to rescue Yosef later. Reuben's actions reflect a complex family dynamic and his attempt to restore his firstborn responsibilities despite past failings . Yosef's Humiliation and Sale into Slavery Upon meeting Yosef, the brothers strip him of his special robe, symbolically removing his dignity, mirroring how Yeshua was stripped before crucifixion. They cast Yosef into a cistern and later sell him to Ishmaelite merchants for twenty pieces of silver. This act, intended to destroy Yosef, ultimately fulfills Yah's plan for salvation . The Brothers' Deception and Ya'achov's Grief The brothers deceive Ya'achov by presenting Yosef's bloodied robe, claiming he was killed by a wild animal. Ya'achov mourns deeply, rending his clothes and refusing to be comforted, expressing his profound loss and grief . Yosef's Journey in Egypt Yosef is sold to Potiphar, an Egyptian official, marking the beginning of his rise in Egypt and the unfolding of Yah's providential plan . Spiritual Reflections on Dreams and Prophecy The document reflects on the significance of dreams as divine communication in Hebrew tradition, noting that prophets often received messages through dreams. Yosef is seen as a prophet whose dreams reveal Yah's Will. The symbolism in Yosef's dreams connects to broader prophetic imagery, including the woman clothed with the sun in Revelation 12, representing Yisra'el . Messianic Parallels Between Yosef and Yeshua The narrative draws extensive parallels between Yosef and Yeshua Messiah: Both are beloved sons of their fathers. Both are appointed to shepherd Yisra'el. Both face rejection and hatred from their brethren. Both suffer humiliation and are ultimately exalted. Both serve as instruments of salvation for Yisra'el and the nations. Both experiences demonstrate how divine plans prevail despite human evil . The teaching concludes by emphasizing that Torah readings like this one serve as shadows of greater spiritual realities to come and encourages readers to find further Messianic insights within the text .
This episode, we take a trip south to Dothan, AL, on the Alabama/Florida border. Mike struck gold when he found Knight Vigil Comics. Embedded in an antique mall, this shop has a humble presence, but what it lacks in size and flashiness it more than makes up for in style and old-fashioned comic goodness. The owner, Tim, is a consummate gentleman, has a deep love for comics, and he has a remarkable story. The shop is wall to wall back issue comics and sports some great art all around. Tim also has a significant presence on eBay. So, get ready for Tim and his super story about Knight Vigil Comics! Then, Mike is joined by longtime podcaster podcast editor extraordinaire, Steeven Orr of the Steeven Or Else Network! Steeven has to be one of the most creative people in podcasting. He not only uses his sound editing skills to make every episode of the Roadshow sound as good as it can, but he is also the brain and the voice behind the promos for Roadshow AND the Campus Comics Cast.

In this Bible Story, we learn of Naaman's new found love for God and desire to bless the people of God. However, Elisha's servant Gehazi's heart changes for the worse, as he descends into a cycle of greed and treachery. This story is inspired by 2 Kings 5:15-27. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Kings 5:27 from the King James Version.Episode 134: Israel was at war once again, this time against the King of Aram. However, the God of Israel, who knows all, would inform Elisha of what the King of Aram was planning and Elisha would, in turn, inform his King. This constant outmaneuvering irritated the King of Aram and he sent soldiers to hunt for Elisha. When the army of Aram arrived at Dothan they surrounded Elisha and his servant. But Elisha was unafraid because He could see the armies of heaven surrounding the armies of Aram. So he prayed and God delivered the men of Aram into Samaria, the land of their enemy. But instead of bloodshed, they were given a feast, and God's mercy was revealed to the nations.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.
