The Book of Acts tells a wild story about what happened while Paul was in Corinth, and it involved a guy named Sosthenes. Later, Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth with a guy named Sosthenes .

Coincidence? Maybe.

Or maybe the writer of the Book of Acts was trying to get a message across with the story he wrote.

Based on Acts 18:1-18 and 1 Corinthian 1:1-17.

I was greatly blessed to be part of this discussion on The Word in Black and Red podcast.

In particular, discussing "Masking" with my neurodivergent (and otherwise diverse) siblings was transformative for me (Starts at 1:07:00 or so). It is always good to hear about those who have a very different life experience as we read the scriptures.

A discussion of Exodus 34:1-35:3
