    REMASTERED: #18 Delivered from the Prosperity Gospel - Sheila Booth-Alberstadt
    Jul 8 2025
    Sheila Booth-Alberstadt ignored God for the first 40 years of her life. But after being confronted by His very real existence, she proceeded to treat Him like a genie in a bottle. Yet she was constantly plagued by doubts like: Why couldn't she heal her own children when they were sick? Why couldn't she heal her own body? Why didn't financial prosperity come to her even when she had the “faith” that it should? It eventually all came to a head after she left for the woods to spend time with God seeking answers… when He delivered her from the Prosperity Gospel.

He explained how he grew up with a very verbal family. How he tried to continue the story telling tradition.
I'm so glad that there are some people still around that actually can survive without a cell phone tied to there arm, or a laptop telling them what to do and when. If you grew up and lived in the country during the 20th century then his stories are going to ring true, and you won't be able to stop laughing at all the good intentional screw ups Hank and Drover fall into over and over again.

This Explains A lot.
