In this episode we share our baptism stories, why and when we made the decision to get baptized in the name of Jesus! We talk about what baptism truly means, why it is the best decision you can ever make, and how it represents a powerful rebirth that only God can offer us. We also explore the connection between this spiritual rebirth and birthdays as we know them. Here are the scriptures that guided us in this conversation: Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3–4, and Galatians 2:20.

We discuss Galatians 5:22–23, reflecting on the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We talk about what each of these means and how they apply to the Christian walk today.

In the first episode of Christians Off Script, we (Ashley and Jonah) share why we wanted to start this podcast. We discuss our backstory, how Jesus has done significant work in our lives, and how the Lord inspired us to begin this journey. We also talk about future ideas for the podcast and reflect on the verse Micah 6:8. Thank you to everyone who listens to this first episode, and we look forward to sharing more content in the future.
