About this episode

Gerek, a Yodiz, learns about different kinds of strength beyond physical prowess and mystical abilities.

As a Yodiz, Gerek has long stood in the shadow of his more naturally talented peers. Some of them have even taunted his supposed lower station. However, not everyone sees Gerek in that way, as he learns of more kinds of strength than just physical prowess, or mystical abilities. Note: while this show uses the Holy Scriptures as inspiration for its stories and characters, it is not intended to be used as a replacement for a genuine Bible study. (My knowledge of scripture is after all, limited.) I recommend that in order to better understand the truths contained in the Bible, you visit a church in your area that focuses on studying the Holy Scriptures and teaching its principles. One such church is Journey Baptist Church @ The Junction in St. Joseph, MO. If you live in that area, please come and visit!
