Our Favorite Bible Stories

Welcome to OFBS Ep 12! As this episode comes out in March, which is Women's History Month, we are focusing on our good girl Deb Deb (the only female judge of the Israelites!!!) I know we love a Proverbs 31 woman, but Deborah is an iconic role model. She was strong, wise, creative, and confident. She stood on what she said and made sure the people around her stood on it too! This story is just one of the many narratives that center ...

Hi hi! Welcome back to OFBS ep 11; I am so glad that you decided to tune in! In my opinion, this episode is very timely. There is a lot of fear and uncertainty in our world; this story speaks to those emotions and reminds us that God has us. Even when we do not see it or feel it, He's there (and a big hallelujah for that!) In this episode, we talk miracles (Elisha loved him some raw materials. He just threw stuff at a problem and i...

Happy New Year loves!! Welcome back to Our Favorite Bible Stories! As it is a new year, it is only fitting that we discuss the new things God did in the Bible! So today, we are talking about Samuel, or more specifically Hannah, his mother. Hannah was facing opposition from all sides: her husband has another wife, she's barren, and oh yeah, that other wife HATES her! Hannah just can't catch a break so she brings her pain to the Lord...

Merry Christmas!!!!!!! Welcome to OFBS ep 9, the Birth of our Lord and Savior.....Jesus the Christ! This is a classic, and many people know the basics, But, in this episode, we dive a little deeper, and truly breakdown the significance of this event. So, if you are making the roasted ham, piling on the sides, driving to the family's house, or are simply chilling, this episode will be a great reminder of the reason for the season (C...

It's Christmas, y'all! Glory to the newborn King!!! This is OFBS Ep 8 and we thank God that this is coming out a few days after it was recorded! Today's epsiode is technically about John the Baptist, but his mama and papa are taking center stage. Zechariah (and technically Elizabeth, but mostly Z) were not ready for his birth (I mean, can you blame them? They were like 80), but when God moves, He moves. This story shows us that no ...

Welcome to OFBS Ep 7! Remember when I said I was going to be consistent (*laughs in unbelief*). Anyway, today's episode is centered on Elijah and his showdown with the prophets of Baal. Highkey, you don't want Elijah as an enemy; he has all the smoke and then some (his trash talking skills! 5 stars) Despite the drama, this story displays the power of our God (Amen and Amen). He does not take disrespect lightly and showed up and out...

Welcome to OFBS Ep 6! This one was a WILD ride because I did not know where God was going to take me. I thought this podcast would be about Elijah, our favorite grumpy grandfather, but God took the wheel, did a K-turn in the MIDDLE of the road, and took me down a different path. And, I'm not mad at it! This podcast brought up such an important question: Who do you believe? There is so much stress (and sin) that can come when we try...

Hello! It's OFBS ep 5! We thank God that we've made it this far (who would've thought? not me) Anyway, let me warn you...this episode is not for the people that have it all together. If that's you, kindly exit stage left (jk, but also cue Perfect People by the Walls Group). No, this episode is about fear, anxiety, low self-confidence and doubt. But, here's the best thing about God: He doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the ca...

Welcome to OFBS Ep 4! Today, we are talking about Ruth and Boaz, the ultimate Christian couple. People everywhere have been praying for their Boaz. But, it's more than the romance and the feels. This story is a narrative about immense loss, loyalty, the weight of character, and God's divine provision. It reminds me of Ephesians 2:10 (For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance...

Welcome to OFBS Ep 3 (which is really just a continuation of the last episode; love a part 2). In this episode, we finish up the story of Joseph. While things weren't looking too great (and people weren't keeping their promise- looking at you, butler!), in a split second, we see how God can change a situation and elevate in a supernatural way (Amen? Amen!) We see how God works all things for our good and His glory, for when He's 4 ...

Welcome to OFBS Ep 2 (which should have come out in December, oops). In this episode, I am joined by a special guest (spoiler alert: my sister) and we tackle the story of Joseph! Joseph was one of God's strongest warriors cause people were LYING on his name but he still stayed faithful (Amen and amen)! But, what does it look like when our world is turned upside down by no fault of our own? And what do we do with our frustration dur...

Welcome to the first episode of Our Favorite Bible Stories Podcast! This is OFBS 101! I start with a quick intro to me and my motivation for doing the podcast (surprise, surprise, it was God). Then, I tackle the story of Noah. It’s more than the 40 days and 40 nights, y'all. This is a story about obedience, waiting on the Lord, and fulfillment of promises! I’ll also ask the tough questions (like which animal gave Noah the most stre...
