Who is Elijah? What even is a prophet? We discuss it all through the lens of a very popular podcast, Holy Ghost Stories. Through this one segment in 1 Kings chapter 17 we get to know a more intimate side to God who always ALWAYS provides what we need, when we need it. Listen to the referenced episode here from Holy Ghost Stories: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6QXivICVdPTf4kUHYUMi6p?si=X-OiVThFSaObCKy2bET52A Another referenced episode about Elijah's non-death: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2tJjKIbcnyLJSy5FaYQrwl?si=okJ-cTjDRQOff928w-tbpA Justin Gerhardt is a chronically curious storyteller. He is the creator of the podcast Holy Ghost Stories—an episodic, immersive telling of the stories of the Old Testament with a focus on character and craft. He also serves as the founder and president of Hazefire Studios, a nonprofit devoted to expanding the intersection of story and worship. With a degree in philosophy and Biblical studies, Justin worked for 20 years as a minister and preacher before feeling called to explore new ways to share Scripture with an increasingly irreligious world. To cut costs as he began Holy Ghost Stories in 2021, Justin and his family embarked on a 2-year-long season of global nomadism that took them to England, Croatia, Ireland, Greece, Egypt, and South Africa. Today, Justin and his wife, author JL Gerhardt, work as partners at Hazefire Studios on various projects, including live storytelling events, training for creatives, and The Storied Family—a parenting workshop designed to help families establish their identity in the context of God's story. Every other week, he publishes “The Latest,” a newsletter devoted to his newest projects and discoveries. This spring, Justin and acclaimed cellist Kendall Ramseur are taking Holy Ghost Stories on tour, bringing a multi-dimensional experience with the story of The Exodus to audiences in six U.S. cities.

Justin and J.L. Gerhardt are on the podcast today, and you will love hearing from them! There is an epic retelling of their meeting and falling in love complete with 90's Hearthrob meet cute and all. More than that, Justin and J.L. share about their journey of God leading them both into ministry with words, calling their family to travel the world, and unleashing their creativity and courage to press into new ways to encounter God and His Word. This journey has given birth to various creative outlets for the Gerhardt family, but the one we talk about the most in this episode is Justin's incredible podcast “Holy Ghost Stories.” “Holy Ghost Stories” is a unique podcast that is more like an immersive narrated experience that takes stories from the Old Testament, unpacks them, and breathes life into the grit and shadow as well as the rapture and delight of God encountering His people. Justin's heart for this podcast is to remind us that we have an inheritance of stories in scripture that we share in an immersive, but often adolescent way to children, to try and captivate them and introduce them to God. And then they grow up. And as Justin says “We stop telling the stories and stop teaching the stories. And a story taught is different than a story told.” There is absolutely fruit to be found in teaching! However, grown-ups can miss out on what these stories have always had for us when we face real suffering, real rejoicing, and everything in between unless we revisit what they really were: real events that happened with real people with a very real God. Y'all hanging out with the Gerhardts is such a delight, and I can't wait for you to get to know them a little better. If you loved this episode, or love Holy Ghost Stories you need to attend a live experience! And for my local friends, there is one coming up in Nashville in December! I really believe you will see the Old Testament in a more alive and engaging way, and it will help you prepare your heart for the coming of Christmas. I hope I see you there.
