Episodes

Float like a baby, talk like a bush 27.06.2025

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 relatio...

Joseph: The Reunion Tour 26.04.2025

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 m...

The Bold & the Biblical: Tamar's baby-daddy drama 11.04.2025

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&#39...

Joseph: From Pit to Palace 28.03.2025

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...

JACOB WRESTLED WITH WHO??!! 29.01.2025

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 wh...

ISAAC & HIS HAIRY, HEEL-GRABBING KIDS 11.01.2025

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...

ABRAHAM & LOT: The movie 09.12.2024

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...

EP 2. THE WICKED & THE FLOOD (Cain to Noah) 25.11.2024

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.

EP 1. ADAM AND EVE 18.11.2024

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.

INTRO - WELCOME TO IN THE BEGINNING!!! 16.11.2024

(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...
