Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:07.0

Today was so good.

0:15.0

Elisha the Prophet is still working miracles to display God's character and there's so much of it to see.

0:21.0

Our first story is of a Syrian military commander named

0:24.6

Naman. Before he ever comes into a relationship with God, God has his hand on his

and in a filthy river no less, he's furious.

1:34.0

He's come all this way to get a lesson on hygiene,
