What Happens in this Episode
Welcome to Season Four of Jesus Stories. We are going back to the scriptures – to the beginning of Jesus Stories – to retell and to explain more deeply the life of Jesus. Still working from a chronological viewpoint, we’ll tell the story from the scriptures as we have done in the past, and then, in the next episode, expand on the story with more insights and teachings.
We start in this new season at the same place the gospels begin – prior to the birth of Jesus. We’ll hear the stories of Elizabeth and Mary and the babies which God gives to each of them.

What Happens In This Episode?
This episode’s Jesus Story is a personal one. I share the story of my own faith journey with you. It’s not as dramatic as some of our previous stories. It shows how a Jesus Story is written in one ordinary life. There are lessons to take away from the happenings.

What Happens In This Episode?
A man of faith is chosen by another man of faith to put his faith to the test. Can he keep his cool when he is being verbally insulted due to his race? Can he not fight back when racism keeps him out of restaurants and hotels and decent travel accommodations? Can he work with white players and fans and not lash out when they abuse him? He could. And he did! And he paved the way for a new world not only in sports, but also in the world. In doing so, he told his own Jesus Story. (You’ll also get to hear the hit song, Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball? by Count Basie’s band.)

A woman of faith puts her belief into action in Nazi occupied Holland. She and her family hide Jews who are being hunted and imprisoned by the Nazi’s – just because of their heritage. She is caught and imprisoned herself. She learns the power of forgiveness in a Nazi concentration camp and uses that lesson to forge the rest of her life – telling the story of Jesus to the world.
