Can a man change? He may not be able to; but Jesus can change him. Today’s Jesus Stories episode features a man known for successful dirty political tricks; tricks which will elect a politician to office. But, when the tricks are found and the pressure is on, an encounter with Jesus changes this man’s attitude, behavior, and life. Now his entire life is centered on Jesus – even while in jail. He creates a ministry that still operates today after his death. Come meet this extraordinary man.

And she challenged society to follow Jesus when society would rather not! Listen to find out who this woman is!

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?

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.
