Stay Connected“For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”
-Romans 15:4
Maybe you’re here because you’re trying to find some encouragement to start reading the Bible; maybe you’re just curious; maybe you just wanted background noise. Either way, I’m so glad you’re here.

Hey giiiirrrll!!!!!
This week we’re diving into the wilderness with the Israelites as God takes them through some serious tests. From hunger pangs to water springing out of rocks,—these chapters are packed with miracles and complaints…
What is God trying to teach them? And why does it all seem so random??
We’re in Exodus 15-18!💗💗
And Also Matthew 5
In this week’s episode, we are diving into THEEEEEE showdown: Moses vs. Pharaoh, God vs. Egypt’s “gods,” and there’s a whole lotta frogs and flies and changed minds🤭
We’re talking the plagues, God’s power and why the Red Sea said “parting is such sweet sorrow”🤭
Even through all the chaos, we see God’s heart for His people and His unstoppable plan to set them free.
Spoiler alert: He ALWAYS wins.
So grab your tea ☕, your Bible 📖, and SEVERAL seats, girl. Lemme tell you about the God who delivers💖
we are in EXODUS 4-15
And also Romans 6 !!!!!!
WELCOME BACK FAMILY!!!
Before the seas were parted and the commandments were dropped, there was a baby in a basket with a speech impediment and some relatable insecurities.
In this episode, we’re diving into Exodus 1–4!!
Expect murder, staff-to-snake action and a surprise circumcision.. 🤷🏾♀️
I pray that us talking about these stories ignites an interest and further develops our love and relationship with reading the Word. May each of our walks with God be strengthened as a result. In Jesus' mighty name!
The drama is high, the emotions are higher, and yes—This one is a tear-jerker. In this episode, we’re diving into the wild reunion between Joseph and his long-lost brothers.
Joseph is going through it guys. Join me as we unpack the awkwardness, the healing, and the reconciliation—because if Joseph can forgive the people who sold him into slavery, maybe we can forgive the friend who still owes us money.

I don’t know if y’all can feel how excited I am about today’s story, but I have been counting down the minutes to spill this one. The drama of it ALL!!
Sometimes I think my family has issues… and then I take a look at Jesus’ family tree and remember—oh, it could be so much messier.
So grab your Bible and a mug, and meet me at the table—I’ve got some piping hot TEA straight out of Genesis
Today's story is from Genesis 38
(with reference to Matthew 1 and Matthew 13)
Hey fam!!! WE'RE BACK, and today we're diving into the wild world of Jacob's kids. Yep, we're talking about their deceitful, murderous, backstabbing, lust-driven, and occasionally well-meaning (and sometimes forgetful?) moments.
I’m beyond excited to unpack these stories and pray they spark a fire in you to read them for yourselves and get more disciplined in our walk with God. Let's get into it!
(Today we're in Genesis 35 - 41. This is part 1 of Joseph's story technically. We will also circle back to talk about the scandalous story of Judah and Tamar)
HAPPY NEW YEAAAAARRR!!!!
& what better place to start us off than with a new cast for the Real Housewives of Genesis??? Our heel-grabbing brother, Jacob, is on the run and he has run a mighty long way.
This story is one of those humble reminders that we truly can NEVER know who God will move through. No one is too far gone; no one is too stubborn; no one has messed up that bad. The same God who could truly put a stop to our stubbornness and unwillingness with JUST A TOUCH, is the same God who loves us enough to still gently lets us go through the wrestling match if we need it.
I can't tell you how much i LOVE this story. PLEASE READ IT. The chapters feel like they fly by because there's not a single uneventful section.
I pray that those who hear this story, will read the story, and in reading the story, grow in their walks with Christ. in Jesus name AMEN.
I actually feel like the title really sums up today's episode... But before we get there, we have unfinished business with the Real Housewives of Genesis!!
This episode is one of the more perplexing to me, but even in the things I don't understand, one thing remains true - God keeps his promises.!!! I also found it interesting that sometimes God will bless even your 'detour' path for His LOVE FOR YOU.
Our last episode of 2024!! I pray this podcast has blessed you all as much as it has me, I pray that this is about more than a funny story but rather that an interest stirs inside that brings the walls blocking you from reading the Word down, and brings us all closer to Jesus. In Jesus name we pray!!
Love you family!! See you in 2025!!
WELCOME BACK FAMILY!!!
Today's story is literally what soap operas are made of and I never get tired of studying it. I pray that the love and I have for this story is infectious and ignites a fire in all of us to go and READ the stories in the Bible for ourselves and allow it to minister to us.
(quick note: God renames Abram & Sarai to Abraham & Sarah by the end but sometimes i mistakenly just go back and forth between the names but they are the same person. Abram is Abraham. Sarai is Sarah)
WELCOME BACK FAMILY!!!
I am so excited to talk about this because studying it left me speechless and HONESTLY nervous to relay the information lol.
Adam and Eve welcome children of their own!! What could possibly go wrong??????
I pray this story really gets us to think and sparks up an unextinguishable interest to go and read the WORD and gain understanding for ourselves!! In Jesus name!! Amen.
WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE!!! I love this story and I'm praying that hearing it might give us a new perspective, better understanding, fresh interest and a hunger to get into the WORD.
We pray these in Jesus name. Amen.
(This is NOT the first episode lol)
I'm so excited to go on this journey with you guys! Apart from the beautiful and careful linguistic work that makes up the Bible, the stories within don't shy away from the MESS that is humanity. I'm hoping that the love and joy I've developed while studying is infectious and encourages you to open the WRITTEN WORD of God for yourself because "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4).
I've been praying over all of us, that hearing the stories would rouse an interest to read it; and draw us all closer to God in our different walks; that God would give us more wisdom, more understanding and more of HIM.
Thank you guys for being here!! Love you!
