WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE:

This episode of Jesus Stories concludes the interview we started with Dennis about a month ago (Episode #3-16 Encounter with Evil). Dennis shares how with the help of his newfound Savior, Jesus, he begins to overcome the evil which has been tormenting him. Because of the length of the interview, this episode is a bit longer than what I usually post. But, it is important to hear the whole story and understand the victory he is enjoying.

Two notes about Dennis:

What Happens In This Episode?

What happens when a man chooses to obey Jehovah God rather than man? What if the edict comes from a dictator who is trying to remain neutral in World War II against the Nazi onslaught of Europe? What if the edict means that thousands of people will be subjected to the persecution of life under Nazi rule? Today’s story tells the story – a largely untold and unknown story – of a man who made the choice. In this Jesus Story, we’ll hear how one man risked everything and lost everything.

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!
