What's up with David, The Bright and Morning Star? Let's follow along as Jo digs into another Bible hero and Let's find out why God asked us to get to know David for ourselves... You'll want a good snack and drink for this one...
Homophones are intentional. Jo says the English language is corrupt. The Sun is the Brightest Star in the sky and Jesus - the son- give David a similar name and called him his father. Is David God? Is Jesus a son of God that came into the daughters of men? Get your sweats and your KJV Bible. We're going in.
Jo makes a startling discovery before closing the study and promises to return with more details!! However!! Before she leaves she brings LIGHT to a light and leaves us wondering if we're even awake or alive yet!! Get your snack and your sweats and your KJV Bible. This is a good one!
Apparently, we weren't ready for Jesus the first time and if he's coming we may not be ready now... Jo digs into accountability and is revealing the expectation of Jesus, is that we know our OT (Old Testament) before we select our Lord.
The age of accountability is here.
In this Special Edition of The Book of Jo- Jo spends close to 3 hours in the KJV bible, reviewing the truth as she's come to know it. What REALLY happened in the garden and the well-laid plans of our adversary. Seems there is and has always been a way to get to God and Jesus may not be it. Ever have the Bible disprove the authority of Jesus to bring glory to God? Get some snacks. You're gonna wanna make time for this. Only thing we ask, is to let her finish and take your questions to God before you seek her out. We share not defend. Enjoy
Turns out Isaiah and Hosea received the same message from God but they both speak VERY differently..._ wanna know how it all ends and begins again? Sit with Jo as she compares the two Prophets with the same name... Salvation.
A new experience in faith has led Jo to seek the word of God via the Old Testament Prophets. In this new season, Jo will uncover what God actually said and use it as a controlled substance against all else. We start with HOSEA. The 1st of the Minor Prophets. Get your sweats and enjoy...
Jo compares the Adam and Eve tale to the test of today's Hebrews, claiming the serpent is actually predictable and is actually not even a serpent! You'll like this one. Come hang out with God and Jo and she even brought her family!
Jo gets a visit from The Creator itself and does her best to describe the encounter. Join us as we talk about dimensions and regroup for a new assignment!
We have stumbled upon a truth that is immutable! Join Jo as she combs through one of the most popular chapters of the Bible in a way unique to her. This episode is longer than other but well worth it.
Enjoy!
Jo is clear on two things... 1. God ain't finna lie. 2. God is not confusing!
God is also fair. When we stand in these things then everything He says is the controlled substance and what He didn't say is up for debate. All of it.
Let's look and see where our discovery of Gabriel as a Fallen took us... congrats on remaining a Truth Seeker. Let's kick it with Jo and The Creator!

Welcome Back and Happy New Year??
Our girl Jo has returned after almost a year off- with more Approachable Bible Study teachings! Giving all the Glory to God, we enter season 5 of this journey and we have grown so much since season one!
This season of The Book of Jo Podcast kicks off questioning how we arrived at Jesus being "The Word of God"... Is he? Let's take a closer look at John Chapter 1, together.
We promise, this season is shaping up to glorify God, with a boldness unlike ever before, for some.
So, be sure to get your King James Bible and get comfortable. Also be sure to remain open to change because God is doing New Things with Jo and we're here for the journey!
Enjoy!
All these sons and the Son of Man too... Let's make it make sense. Who are the sons of God? The sons of man? The men of God? And the SON of MAN? Let's take a look and understand who and what Jacob wrestled with!
Anything confusing really isn't God. I believe that, and I believe God is simple and easy to understand. Now, with prayer 🙏🏽 being an act of authentin worship, I think how we pray and what we say should also connect to what we believe yes? If words have power. But I would never want my appearance to be a stumbling block to potentially new believers and I know some people tune me out when they hear I don't pray in Jesus' name or say amen anymore. I can understand how hard that is to swallow. Yet, I give all glory to El Shaddai. The God of Life. YHWH the breath itself. And I can introduce you, today. Come!
Manifestation is a Prophet's Vindication, for the Glory of God!! That's what Jo is saying. While the word "manifest" is being dragged through the mud by Christians, Jo backs the term with the powerful mantle of prophecy. Using the prophetess, Miriam as an example and elaborating on her possibly being the true identity of Mary... Have a listen!
Who are Mary's parents? Was Mary a daughter of man? Was Gabriel a Son of God? What in the world is going on in Luke Chapter One? 😳 Yes we study the Old Testament but is Miriam really Mary?? Jo raises our eyebrows on this one. Things are getting clearer every episode! Bring your King James Bible and snacks. Rock your sweats with El Shaddai. This one is a doozy!
LET'S PLUG IN WHAT WE'VE LEARNED! In a timely manner we have a chapter where both LORD (all caps) and Lord (one cap) -and even lord (no caps) are all present! This mean we gotta plug in our character names to understand what is happening to Abraham and what happened to Abram! Come see what our girl Jo, found in the bible this week! Glory to God!!
