A Millennial Learns

One after another, the kings do evil in the sight of the Lord (with a few exceptions). Judgement finally comes and Israel is in exile

Somehow I completely missed the significance and order of events of world war I. I figured it was finally time to learn. Enjoy the episode

The title says it all. Enjoy!

I have always heard this saying but never known the full history. Also, I tell the story about why I don’t ride bikes

We go over David retiring, anointing Solomon as king, and Solomon building a house for God. Great section. Helpful summary https://biblesummary.info/1-kings

Marriage is amazing! Don’t let anyone scare you out of it! Lol enjoy the top things I’ve learned

I know I’m planning ahead but here are all the schooling options! I think I’m team homeschool.

In this episode we talk a lot about David! His great battles, his great sins, and all the David vs. Saul family drama.

This is a great section of the Bible! We go through the transition between judges and kings that are ruling Israel and all the drama surrounding David and Saul. Who knew there were two Sauls?

There is a lot of controversy about sleep training. Some people think you should hold and rock your baby every time they cry, and there are some that think it's important for babies to self soothe. We go through the arguments for and against sleep training, and talk about the different sleep training methods that can be used.  Sources: https://www.todaysparent.com/baby/baby-sleep/most-popular...

If you thought Exodus was frustrating when the Israelites kept sinning against God, get ready. In this section we finish up Joshua and move into Judges, where we see a pattern of the Israelites sinning and God raising up a judge to save them. Enjoy!

In this chunk of scripture we see the Moses' death and the transition to Joseph leading the Israelites. We also go over one of my favorite stories, the battle of Jericho! 

I’ve been to Hawaii many times but not known the history. Very interesting stuff! Enjoy!

Moses is about to die and this is a book of his final words. It’s a lot of reiterating what has already happened and what God has already demanded but a very good reminder!

This week we finish up the book of Numbers. It was a tough one because of all of the names and locations the Israelites camped. We see Miriam as a prophetess in this section which makes me ponder the 'should women teach in the church' debate. And what if I end up not liking the answer?  Sources: https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/miriam-bible https://www.britannica.com/topic/Nephilim https:...
