The Days of Ash, Episode 9, The Remnant.

SPEAKER_4 (0:39)

It started with a voice on the ham, barely a whisper under static.

SPEAKER_5 (0:44)

To those walking in the light, you are not alone.

SPEAKER_4 (0:49)

No call sign, no location, just those words and then silence again. We didn't say anything about it that night, but Claire just looked up from her tea and said, It's beginning.

I didn't know what she meant until the next message came through two nights later.

SPEAKER_6 (1:03)

Sanctuary confirmed in Northern Arkansas. Thirteen families, two elders, firelight services, weekly fasts, no walls, only prayer.

SPEAKER_4 (1:16)

Then another.

SPEAKER_3 (1:17)

Safe house near Whitefish, Montana.

SPEAKER_6 (1:20)

SPEAKER_1 (1:21)

SPEAKER_4 (1:23)

Quotes Ezekiel in sleep. And then more. Too many to count.

SPEAKER_6 (1:27)

Mobile remnant caravan outside Helena, Alabama. Forest Circle in Maine. Children speak first.

Desert Refuge in New Mexico. Rain came on day thirty. Still hasn't stopped.

SPEAKER_4 (1:43)

None gave names. Only signs. And everyone ended the same way. He walks among the lampstands. Do not fear the dark.

We started marking them on the wall of our church. Not names, not dots. Flames. Each one was a flicker of light that we could feel, but we couldn't see. And as the wall filled, something changed in us. We weren't hiding anymore. We were anchored. Thomas said it best one morning by the fire. There is no such thing as a scattered flame. There is only light learning where it lives. For the first time in months, I let myself hope, not for rescue, not for restoration, but for something true to rise from what had died. Not a country, a people.

We called them The Remnant, not the strongest, not the loudest, not the most righteous, just those who did not forget. Those who still believed in covenant, in truth, in mercy, in the lamb who comes with scars and not swords. And we began to hear the stories, the miracles, the real ones. The man found in the rubble, still breathing, still praying. A field of dead crops blooming after a night of worship. A bullet fired that never landed. No cameras, no proof. Only testimonies and in this world, testimony is fire.

One night a girl no older than 10 stood up during prayer. She looked around the room, her eyes wet but clear. She said, He is not far anymore. He is walking again.

No one asked who. No one needed to. The spirit had begun to move again. Not as wind, but as recognition.

SPEAKER_1 (3:44)

Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile, the message for everyone paying big wireless way too much. Please, for the love of everything good in this world, stop. With Mint, you can get premium wireless for just $15 a month. Of course, if you enjoy overpaying, no judgments, but that's weird. Okay, one judgment.

Anyway, give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.
