How did Ephesians Prysock get his name?
The origin story of Prysock's name doesn't appear to be on the Internet, so hopefully someone asks him after the draft.
But it seems like it has to be based on the book of the Bible, Ephesians.
What is the Bible book of Ephesians?
Ephesians is actually a letter, written by the apostle Paul to the people of Ephesus in the early days of the Christian church.
It's the 10th book of the New Testament.
The most famous verse is a popular one in Protestant teaching -- Ephesians 2:8-9 -- "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
