A Vulnerable Guide to Love
Welcome Back to Our Favorite Bible Stories Podcast! This episode is all about LOVE (cue Keyshia Cole). It is also centered on one of the most controversial and skipped chapters of the Bible- Song of Songs. Listen, I get it! I used to be that person too. But, my lovely guest has turned me into a believer. Song of Songs uses poetic imagery to describe a genuine aspirational love; it's not perfect, b
The Road to Revelation
Welcome to Our Favorite Bible Stories, Episode 3! Today, we are talking about a post-resurrection Jesus Who was a whole vibe! In this story, He's sneaking up on some random new friends and changing their whole perspective, bringing hope and light where despair and sadness had settled. And the beautiful thing: He didn't use huge miracles to do it (and don't get me wrong, we love those moments!). In
Joseph and the Path to Destiny
Welcome back to OFBS S2, Episode 2! We thank God for consistency! And that is exactly what can be said for this week's main character: Joseph. Joseph was fighting for his life with opps on every side. Despite the chaos, flat out injustice, and despair, Joseph kept his eyes to the sky to his Helper. He lived under the awareness of God inspite of less than favorable circumstances. As our lovely gues
The Extraordinary in the Mundane: Moses and The Burning Bush
Welcome to Season 2 of the Our Favorite Bible Stories Podcast!!! Has it been 7 months? Yes. Does that matter? No, because I come bearing gifts! This season will be featuring guests who will discuss their favorite Bible stories!We are starting this season off with a banger as I sat down with my hilarious and insightful friend, Florence! In this first episode, we discussed Moses and the Burning Bush
Our Favorite Bible Stories: 2025 Recap
Hello and welcome back to Our Favorite Bible Stories! Can you believe this is the last time I am writing this for 2025? Time does not feel real anymore.While I normally talk over a classic Bible story, today, I decided to do a recap of 2025, looking back through the stories I covered and discuss some of the new things that were introduced this year! It was fun going down memory lane and rememberin
Stories from Jesus: Parables for our Modern World
Welcome back to OFBS! In this podcast, we are delving in to some parables from the Lord Himself. One thing about my Jesus, He gonna tell a story with a lesson (AMEN)! From gratitude, to persistence to stewardship, these stories cover the difficult topics that the people during the Bible times were wrestling with. And surprise surprise, we still struggle with these things in our modern world. Thank
The Absolutely Confusing but Comforting Story of Abraham
Hello and welcome to OFBS Ep 15! When I tell you this episode was so close to not coming out on time, but we serve a God who keeps His word! And that is exactly what we see in the story of Abraham. Abraham had to be the father of faith cause he was living on a prayer: no land, no home, and no child. All he had was a promise from God . Yet, that was all he needed. While Abraham was by no means perf
Beautiful Serendipity (The Story of Esther)
Hey Y'all! Welcome back to OFBS! Today, we are talking about QUEEN Esther (put some respect on her name). While Esther is one of only two books named after a woman (shoutout Ruth), God's name is no where to be found in this book. But don't get it twisted; His hand is all over this story. Esther reminds us that there are no coincidences with God. He has planned out every path, every trail, and ever
Gifted Does Not Equal Invincibility (The Cautionary Tale of Sampson)
Welcome to OFBS ep 13! I took an unintended 2 month break, but we're back! Thank God! Today's episode is about the original heavyweight champion, Sampson. God set Sampson apart from the womb to pepper His enemies. Unfortunately, Sampson got a little too comfortable with his strength and forgot Who gave it to him. Spoiler alert, his story does not have the happiest of endings. But, we can learn fro
Defying the Odds, Defining the Culture (The Story of Deborah)
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
Surrounded but Safe (Elisha and the Aramean Army)
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
Ushering in a New Beginning (The Story of Samuel)
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
Unexpected but Needed: The Birth of Jesus
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 remin
The Signs of a Miracle: The Birth of John the Baptist
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
OFBS Ep 7: Elijah vs the Prophets of Baal (and highkey everyone else)
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 disre
Where does your confidence lie: The Story of Elijah (Or the OT Kings)
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
Being Chosen Ain't Easy: A Case Study in Grace and Faith (The Story of Gideon)
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
Those who Sow in Tears, Will Reap in Joy (The Story of Ruth & Boaz)
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 w
When He's 4 Days Late, He's Still on Time (The Story of Joseph Pt 2)
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 g
When the Weapons Feel Like They're Prospering (The Story of Joseph Pt 1)
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 wha
Don't Ask for the Fine Print When it Comes to God's promises (The Ark of Noah's Life)
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 w
