Welcome to my world of stories about people who met Jesus. 
I found these in the gospel accounts of Jesus life.
There Jesus met people from all walks of life and He turned their lives around.
I took a long, slow, close up look at these meetings at a low period in my own life.
What I found was life transforming for me and a very different picture of Jesus than what I had known before.
You can read the detail of the process I went through to write these stories
in the text here. Introduction to Stories
Summary list of stories and scriptures used Text storysummary
You can read these stories in the “Text” or watch the video. But a small group discussion is the place you will get the most benefit. There are questions at the end of the text of each story to use in these discussions. Change begins to happen when you get real about your own situation in the company of others you can trust.
I discuss these small groups in a video here.
