Episode 13 – The Muse
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28 ESV)

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest." (Psalms 22:1–2 ESV)

Episode 8 – The Thorn
"So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations,a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited." (2 Corinthians 12:7 ESV)
