recommendations:
soothing scripture audio for sleeping - if you’re like me, and you need something to fall asleep to, I highly recommend trying one of the Soakstream videos linked above. They use calming female and male voices that recite scripture over the course of 3-8 hours. It’s a comforting protection over my mind while I sleep. Your subconscious is listening to your surroundings even while you sleep - I can attest to this because I am able to recite many of these scriptures they play in the video, despite ever trying to memorize them.
The Chosen Tv Show FOR FREE - This show is AMAZING. I began watching this show the day I surrendered to God, while also making sure to read the bible for myself as I watched it (you can do the same!). I am a HUGE film critic, and I am amazed at how well this was produced. It’s my favorite show to this day and I’ve re-watched it 5 times now! Lol
CGI of Noah’s Flood - This was created as a visual and informative explanation video for the biblical, world altering event that took place known as the Flood. I recommend reading through Genesis in the bible before watching!
Discoveries of Sodom & Gomorrah, Red Sea Crossing, Mt. Sinai, Noah’s Ark & Blood of Christ - This is another informative, evidence based documentary which covers archaeological, scientific evidence of SEVERAL biblical events.
Music:
As a huge music connoisseur, one thing I was surprised by when I started this journey was the extensive/diverse forms of christian music that was out there. I found lots of amazing church bands, but also modern day independent artists ranging from alternative, Lo-fi, blues/jazz, rap, and just about every other genre. So below I am linking my worship playlists with a *few* of my favs :)
