Episode notes

Ananias: I wasn't picked on in high school or anything, but there was this one kid who was a little bit rough around the edges. It was hard later on accepting him in church callings and seeing him serve to not remember the kid he was in high school. But part of the lesson here too is if someone genuinely repents, they've genuinely changed. The people that known them have to accept the change too. You can grow and change and take your life in a different direction. You might shock those around you.

Dr. Casey Griffiths continues to explore the Book of Acts and the power of the Holy Ghost in the lives of the disciples of Jesus Christ.
