Jo Raphael Smith
Join Jo Smith (better known as Rain Raphael- the singer, author and inspiration), recently married to P. Smith Jr. of TenHundrefold, LLP. Listen, as she captures her authentic walk with God.
After years of conflicting religious lessons being taught about the Bible, Jo ran from church. Instead she takes a realistic approach to The Word of God, and has begun to share her faith in logical and informative ways, while still remaining rooted in humility and a genuine love for God's People.
She's like a sit down lunch, in the park with your shoes off, every episode. It's You, Jo, and God. Enjoy!
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?

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

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!Glory to El Shaddai!

Anything confusing really isn't God. I believe that, and I believe God is simple and easy to understand. Now, with prayer 馃檹馃徑 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! --- This episode is sponsored by 路 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
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!

Happy Sabbath! In this episode, Jo takes on the Pharisaical mindset and challenges religion.

Whoa. Jo comes back, quickly, to the #BookOfJoPodcast to remind those who call themselves Christians, that the actions of Christianity are not rooted in God's ways. As always, the controversial message of faith that Jo shares is done in love, but the questions posed are enough to make one think long and hard about whom they truly serve. The enemy is a deceptive one, and we lose so much when we break the covenant of the Ten Commandments with our Heavenly Father. But, do we love God enough, to make a change? Join Jo as she explains the disobedience in Sun Day worship, and how much risk we take- when we make it our day of rest and not the seventh day, that was hallowed in God's name. Enjoy!

After a long hiatus, Joanna "Jo" Smith returns with another timely but super approachable #BibleStudy.
This time, Jo delves into the importance of the 10th Commandment in regards to how coveting is a tool for how the enemy gets us to break the covenant with God, weekly. In a time where people seek "fun" and escape from the latest plague, God's people are under major attack. The metaverse is sure to take advantage of our weaknesses and Jo's down to earth warning seems to be spot on.

Wherefore we gotta have thous, arts and thees ANYWAY? Lol. The KJV makes many people run for a different translation. But many believe it is the closest to the original texts that would be in Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek... So, those of us who wanna get it as right as we can, are left to sort through the translation. Yet, it is not spoken on enough, that the ITALICS are NOT the original text! Granted it's tough to translate and we're grateful that the scholars of the KJV at least had enough integrity to admit to what they added... BUT did they HAVE TO?? Let's take a look and see! Jo makes some good points that may have you skipping a few choice words in the Good Book!

This is not a podcast episode...I just needed somewhere to put the feeling... It's tough to justify your tears for someone you technically aren't "close to". But we are complex beings, and hearing of Shell's death (as my sister's other sister) -the mother of a 10 year old boy, born months before my son... I just am utterly heartbroken... Truly.
This quick double hitter message is about faithful sacrifice and love, as God's mode of transportation when commuting. A clever metaphor but effective on the memory, Jo is offering a way to see miracles in modern day. Check it out!

Who delivers from Obadiah, anymore? In all my visits to church, the book hardly comes up! Yet, Jo gives us a perspective on it that could easily make it one of my favorite short stories, about the fate of Esau- the fraternal Twin of Jacob who is the House of Israel. The episode starts with a quick snack, referencing redundant prayer as potentially a lack of activated faith and then the rest is enlightenment at it's best. Jo gives God all the glory and after this final episode of 2020, WE are left with plenty of reasons to praise God! Enjoy and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We don't talk about the other side of salvation enough. That part that enlists you in supporting the murder of a man who loves you like no other for personal gain... We don't talk about those of us who want the salvation but love Yeshua and simply wish He didn't have to DIE for US.... Jo paints a picture of God's love we can truly find peace in. Enjoy

Jo raises some biblically supported points that may have us all cleansing in a new way... Have a listen.

Jo has a message for the men who struggle with their rightful place as Kings. Apparently, God has an answer to the question "How can I be a man?" And He wants His fellas to know, where your father in flesh has failed, your Father in spirit will provide. Perhaps, you are the Son of David...

As a follow up to her declaration of Light Salt it seems Jo is receiving confirmation in the spirit, that a humble approach to a courageous call on one's life, is the perfect approach! Listen, as she identifies the People of God as those from the lowest of places and the highest of callings as the way of Yeshua. This is sure to encourage someone feeling small with a big cross to bare. Use your low rank in the sight of man as your springboard for the use of God! And to Him be all the Glory!!

The transition from private worship to a beacon for God is difficult for many. Jo is no exception. This episode is more like a personal breakthrough moment for our host, who explains that her confidence isn't necessarily overflowing in this new endeavor called The Book of Jo Podcast. But, after a fervent prayer and a spiritual attack on her soul, she delivers a message of encouragement to anyone struggling with accepting their call or gift from God. She understands and she's with you on it. So, listen to how God is assisting her along the way and the answer He offered her hesitation. It's a prayer that you'd be inspired to be LIGHT SALT for whatever you're served. Amen.

As the debut episode of The Book of Jo, it is clear. Jo Raphael Smith did not come to honor the traditional views of God but rather, offers her authentic and logic-based studies of His Word... She does this, with a considerable amount of information and Biblical text that supports Sunday Worship as a misinterpretation of God's word and an attack against his people by His adversary. Without condemning, Jo explains The True Sabbath, The Mark of the Beast, the number 666 and the character of God in a 90min jam-packed talk, for the women's group, Helpers One of Another (H1oA). Having no Biblical training nor having grown up in the church, Jo teaches from a humble, realistic and approachable base, showing us her drafts and erasures by giving us the information necessary to research for ourselves. But a word to the wise, you'll want a pen for this one. Our prayer is that you leave this talk considering its truths, in order to conclude for yourself. Enjoy!
