This is Julie.
She lives in Sydney, Australia, and is a School Crossing Supervisor (but the kids know her as “The Lollipop Lady”). She started listening over a winter break and got through the first six episodes. When school resumed, she paused, but then the pandemic allowed her time to resume her study. She kept listening steadily and eventually caught up to real time. She now waits anxiously for each week’s discussion.
Despite being immersed in Bible study for over 30 years, Julie can’t count the amount of times she has learned something that blew her mind and allowed her to see Scripture in new ways. She doesn’t always agree with everything Marty and Brent say, but she feels empowered to keep what she needs and discard what she doesn’t.
After hearing Darius (Brent’s son) recite Genesis 1 at the end of an episode (205), she was inspired to start memorizing herself. She is just wrapping up the first 11 chapters of Genesis! She’s excited to move on to John’s gospel when this is complete. The podcast is such an inspiration to Julie’s walk with Jesus. Combined with these resources, her faith of almost 50 years is as vibrant as can be!
