Radio Episode 186: Strong, alone and the courage to say no!
One late afternoon, as the shadows stretched long and the palace began to cool, Joseph passed through the inner hallways of the house carrying scrolls. The wind blew softly through the open windows, rustling linen curtains. A voice called gently, “Joseph.” He turned, and there stood Potiphar’s wife, dressed in fine silk, her eyes fixed intently on him. “Yes, mistress?” he asked politely, lowering his gaze respectfully. Her voice was smooth like honey. “Come and lie with me.” Joseph’s heart pounded. He froze. The silence between them thickened like desert heat. He took a step back. “No, my lady. My master has placed everything in this house under my care. He trusts me completely. How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” But she didn’t give up. Today's story can be found in Genesis 39. ___________________________________ Keep in the loop by signing to our GIGI Notes DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE Hosts: Esther & Steph Mix & effects: Stephanie Giselle Purple Planet Music https://www.purple-planet.com/ email us: Write by post GIGI Teen Radio PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt QLD 4122

Radio Episode 185: From Pages High Academy: Exposed & Shamed – Ava's Story
Opening the paper in her hand, Ava felt the blood drain from her face. Her hand began to shake. She was going to be sick. This was not happening. This was not happening. This had to be a nightmare. Dropping the paper, she was ready to run off, but the two apes on either side stopped her, one of their large hands pressing down on each of her arms, pinning her in her seat. Ava trembled with anger, but it was quickly replaced with hurt and utter humiliation. She wished she were dead. Join us as we dive into the story of Ava's story - the modernised story of the adulterous woman found in John 8:1-11. ALSO We did a mic roam and asked girls your age the following questions: • Would you send a guy an inappropriate photo of yourself? • What would you tell a friend who was asked to send an inappropriate photo of herself? What did they say?

Radio Episode 184: When shame shows up: But God covers our mistakes
Before she could gather herself, they dragged her—rough hands and louder shouts. She stumbled, nearly barefoot, over broken stones and scattered straw. Her hair fell from its covering. Her eyes stung with dust and shame. “Adulteress!” one cried. “To the Teacher!” The Temple steps rose before her like a wall of judgement. The sun had risen higher now, casting sharp shadows on the white stone courtyard. People crowded in to see what the uproar was about. Yael’s heart pounded as they pushed her forward. She fell to her knees, gravel biting into her skin.... Today's story can be found in John 8:1-11. ___________________________________ Keep in the loop by signing to our GIGI Notes DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE Hosts: Esther & Steph Mix & effects: Stephanie Giselle Purple Planet Music https://www.purple-planet.com/ email us: Write by post GIGI Teen Radio PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt QLD 4122

Episode 183: From Pages High Academy: Poison on the Inside – Jayla’s story
She had arrived. Racing out the door of his home, Ashton almost tripped over himself, making sure he didn’t keep her waiting. And there she was, getting out of the black, sleek BMW sports car her parents had gifted her for graduation. Sleek and beautiful, just like her. She was everything anyone could wish for. She looked like a model straight out of a magazine, and she was here for him! The slight movement of her lips indicated she was happy he'd come out to greet her. "Jayla, so glad you could make it. Come in and meet my friends." Ashton grinned, taking her slim, smooth manicured hand in his. "It's not going to be a church thing, right?" Jayla’s tense voice asked as she slightly pulled back on his hand. "No, no," Ashton hastened to assure her. "It’s just a party with some people I go to church with, but no church stuff." Ashton promised. The slight movement of her lips showed he had answered correctly. Ashton smiled and pulled her along. ____________________________________________________ Join us as we dive into the story of Jayla and Ashton, the modern Jezebel and Ahab.

Episode 182: Tangled Thrones: Jezebel the Queen of Control
“What are you planning?” He stretched his neck, trying to decipher from where he sat what she was writing. She did not reply. He did not ask again; instead, he rubbed his beard, deep in thought. Jezebel folded the scroll, placed his seal over it, and rang the gong. Elana watched in fascination as a soldier entered from the side door and bowed. Jezebel stretched her arm with the scroll. “Take this to the elders and nobles who live in Naboth’s city, and tell them I command they do as this says.” The man took the scroll, bowed, and left the room. Jezebel rubbed her hands together. A satisfied look registered on her face, her amber eyes slanted and malicious. Ahab reached for her hand and pulled her with force onto his lap. “What did you write?” She placed her hand around his neck and leaned her embellished head onto his. “I have proclaimed a day of fasting and have requested they seat Naboth in a prominent place amongst the people so—” “Prominent?” She placed her index finger on his lips. “Shh. Once he is seated, two vagabonds will accuse him in front of everyone that he has cursed both God and the king.” An ominous smile crept over her red lips. “The town will be horrified to know Naboth has turned against you, and they will stone him to death—when that happens, you are to take possession of your vineyard!” Ahab stared at his wife with his mouth agape. He blinked a few times...... ____________________________________________________ This week we are looking at the story of evil queen Jezebel and King Ahab.

Then suddenly, she locked eyes with him! "Hey, aren't you part of those freaks?" she accused. Pete felt like he swallowed a rock. What could he say? Then, with a mind of their own, his lips parted, and he croaked out a no! "Yeah, she’s right," a member of the opposing team stated. I'm sure I've seen you at the stations with the other goodie two shoes," he smirked. Pete felt his face grown hot as more eyes turned to watch him. "I don't know them," Pete growled. "Yeah, I've seen you, plus you talk and act differently. ," someone Pete wasn't sure he'd seen agreed. Pete couldn’t take it. He felt humiliated. Suddenly, like something out of a nightmare, Pete heard words come out of his mouth. He didn't even realise he knew. He cursed and yelled, denying any affiliation with the church or Pastor Jay. ____________________________________________________ Join us as we dive into the story of Pete, the modernised Peter.

Episode 180: Faith under Pressure: When Friends Fail You
The courtyard seemed to grow quieter, the murmurs of the crowd fading into the background. Peter’s thoughts were loud in his mind, accusing and relentless. Before he could finish the thought, yet another voice called out. This time it was an older man, his face partially hidden by the shadow of his hood. “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him earlier?” he asked, his voice laced with certainty. Peter’s heart felt like it would burst out of his chest. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, and his words came out in a panicked shout. "I don’t know him! I swear, I don’t!" At that moment, a sound pierced the cold night air—a rooster crowing. Peter froze. He turned his head slightly and saw Jesus standing, watching him. Peter gasped. There was no anger in Jesus’ eyes—only deep sadness and pain. Join us as we dive into the story of Peter from the bible. His story can be found in Luke 22:54-62. Today we are going to talk about: If you have ever denied knowing a friend or a sibling? Have you ever been betrayed and hurt by a friend? Or have you ever denied Jesus?

Looking at her watch, she groaned under her breath and wished she hadn’t rostered Mia on to help her any of the nights. Makenzie stormed out of the kitchen and into the church, narrowing her eyes when she saw Mia inside just standing there listening! How irresponsible! “Why aren’t you in the kitchen helping me? She hissed, pulling her sister out the door. “Sorry, but I love when Sally and her sister sing. The whole program has been amazing. You’ve missed 3 nights already. You ready shouldn’t be stuck down there.” “Do you think people want cold food, Mia? We’re here to serve the church, not be selfish!” ____________________________________________________ Join us as we dive into the story of Makenzie, the modernised Martha.

Episode 178: Too Busy for Jesus: doing it all and totally missing out
"Martha’s chest tightened with frustration as she slammed the clay pot back onto the table. The clatter echoed through the house. She couldn’t understand it. Didn’t Mary care about their reputation? How could she sit there, doing nothing, while there was so much to prepare? Her mind buzzed with a flurry of emotions: irritation, exhaustion, and, deep down, a flicker of envy. Mary looked so peaceful, while Martha felt like a storm—wild and chaotic." Join us as we dive into the story of Martha from the bible. Her story can be found in Luke 10:38-42. Today we want to talk about one part of the story and what it means. "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” So what does this mean?

Radio Episode 176: The Masked Reality: Navigating the Pressure to Pretend
Zoe rolled her eyes at each photo she scrolled through on social media feed–she paused at the photo of a family - she felt sick looking at their faces and fake smiles. Not that anyone would know those smiles were fake. They looked so genuine and super happy. The whole family looked picture perfect. They were dressed impeccably. The twins looked like dolls with their red hair and freckled smiling faces - big dimples dances on their little cheeks. The brother looked handsome in his dark suit and polka-dot bow tie. The older girl was dressed in a pretty blue dress and Nike sneakers–she had a big grin on her face as she posed next to her mother and brother–but her green eyes held a tinge of sadness. Tears welled in Zoe’s eyes as she studied the photo - feeling angry, she tossed the phone across her bed. It rolled, then dropped to the carpeted floor with a soft thud. “Fake! Liar!” she seethed under her breath. She hated those photos of her and her family–fake and fake. It has only been three days since her parents have celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, so the events of the day were fresh in her mind. Join Esther and Steph as they talk about how hard it is to fake what's going on...Tune in to find out the rest of the story. ___________________________________ Read story on blog Visit our website: https://www.gigistorylibrary.com.au/ Keep in the loop by signing to our GIGI Notes DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE Hosts: Esther & Steph Mix & effects: Stephanie Giselle email us: Write by post GIGI Teen Radio PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt QLD 4122

Or are you going to get married tomorrow or something?” Chloe shook her head. “No. No, I’m not.” “And are you going to graduate next week? We have 2 and a half years to go. So much can happen.

Morgan waved to the new girl and motioned for her to come and sit with them at the table where the praise and worship team sat looking at a list of songs for the new year. “What are you doing?” Kelly whispered as she watched Tessa, the new girl, heading their way. Morgan frowned. “I’m inviting Tessa to sit with us.” “We know that!” Julie said with eyes wide. “But, why? I don’t really think she fits in with us.” “She’s a little different.” Nelli added. “She can find other people to sit with.” “Shh, she’s coming.” Tessa suddenly got busy with the songbook. Morgan shook her head, not believing what was coming out of her friend's mouth. A soft hello interrupted any further thoughts as Tessa sat next to her. “Hey!” Morgan grinned. “Glad you came to church today.” Tessa tucked a strand of her dark hair behind an ear. She smiled shyly, her light brown eyes sparkling. “Me too.” “Do you sing?” Nelli asked, leaning forward and staring at the new girl. Morgan’s eyes widened. How rude. She didn’t even say hello to Tessa. Today Steph and Esther are talking all about cliques in church! Do they happen or they don't because church people are too Christian?

Radio Episode 164: Confessions of a diabetic
"The first few weeks back at school became tougher than they had ever been over the holidays. Not only was I tired, I was thirsty ALL THE TIME. I couldn’t even concentrate in class. All I could think about was how thirsty I was, despite drinking over five litres of water each day. What was happening? “It’s just a hot summer,” I kept telling myself. Little did I realize that my nice, ordered world was about to be turned completely upside down. It wasn’t until one night at an orchestra rehearsal that my body decided it couldn’t go on any longer. I was ready to collapse and Mum decided we would detour via the hospital where she worked, on the way home. We didn’t go home that night."

Radio Episode 162: Dear Diary, my dad's having an affair!
"Dear diary, My dad’s having an affair! It all started a week ago when I stayed home from school. I was sick and was curled up in my bed, trying to fall asleep. A soft knock on the front door made me sit up, and I wondered who could be knocking at 10 am. Mum was home, and I tiptoed and peeked out the window. A sleek black car was parked in front of our house—a tall woman dressed in a dark trousers and a nice top stood there—she had short dark hair and her skin was nicely tanned—she looked very pretty. “Yes, can I help you?” Mum smiled. “Is Drew home?” she asked, looking at her surroundings. “Drew? As in my husband?” The woman nodded slowly. “I’m looking for him.” She said. “Sorry, he’s at work, but if you leave a message and a name I can get him to call you back?” The woman stared at mum for a few seconds. Then she mumbled something and hurried off. I stood at the window a little longer and watched her get into her car and drive off. Slowly, I made my way back to bed, totally confused about this woman. I mean, isn’t is odd that she mumbled something and didn’t tell my mother her name or why she was looking for dad?"

Radio Episode 161: The man who died for Jesus
Today on Bible archives we are looking at Stephen, who was one of the young people chosen to carry out the work of God. The first church back in the disciples' time was growing in numbers and the apostles could not keep up with preaching and caring for people, so they decided to seek help. Stephen, a young man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, consecrated in soul and spirit, began the gospel with power, and the church grew and multiplied in Jerusalem. Many obeyed the faith. But sadly, he was hated by many and was killed!

Radio Episode 160: Do I need to forgive the mean neighbour?
"Days and months passed, and we were slowly getting comfortable with our new lives. After living there about a year, this neighbour stopped ignoring us and started standing outside the gate, hands on hips, swearing at us. Every day, the same thing. We were pretty offended and annoyed, to say the least! We felt like we couldn’t step out in peace ever again. One day she even followed my sister to school, yelling rude things at her. When we returned from school, we told my mum what happened. Mum said not to worry because God would fight for us, and to leave everything in his hands. What??! Why can’t we do something to stop her?"

Radio Episode 159: The Royal Palace: Salome Seductress Princess
With each step Salome took towards the banquet hall the more determined she became. Her jewels jiggled as she came to the last step and she exhaled. Music and laughter echoes from down the hallway. She was close. Her mother had told her not to let her down and she would not. She would make Herodias proud of her. Before entering the grand hall she stopped at yet another mirror of the palace and looked at her reflection in the shimmering lights of the night. She was decorated with costly garlands and flowers, sparkling jewels, anklets and flashing bracelets. She had to admit that she was a vision of beauty and loveliness. With little covering and no modesty, every part of her body felt exposed to the public. Her crimson full lips smiled at her reflection. “Show time Salome. Make your mother proud.” She added sarcastically. With that she pranced into the room and waited for the musician to begin their low rhythmic sound of their musical instruments. A gasp erupted from around the room as the men admired her beauty. She looked up and saw Herod gulp and mouth gape at seeing her barely dressed body. She felt indecent and unscrupulous like a lady of the night and not a princess, but this is what her mother wanted of her. She was going to give her more than she had asked. The music began and she started her sultry dance. She forgot her mother. Herod. The guests and the servants watching. The music reeled at her senses and she escaped to another world. A world of pleasure and happiness. A world where her mother did not exist. Listen to the full episode. ___________________________________ He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity… Keep in the loop by signing to our GIGI Notes DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE Hosts: Esther & Steph Mix & effects: Stephanie Giselle email us: Write by post GIGI Teen Radio PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt QLD 4122
