What happens in this episode?

We start telling the stories of the lives of people – both living and dead – which are changed because of the life of Jesus. Because Jesus still lives (He was resurrected!), he still changes lives.

  • We meet a teenager – The Maid – who is a passionate follower of Jesus
  • She is given a mission by Jehovah God
  • While the powers-that-be seek to dissuade her efforts, she ultimately prevails and is given what she needs to begin to execute her mission
  • She succeeds but is put on trial for supposed heresy
  • She is found guilty and executed by burning at the stake
  • Do you know who “The Maid” is? Listen for the revelation of her name!
