Show Notes
(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!

More from In The Beginning: A Bible Story for the Girlies
HOLA HERMOSAS PRECIOSAS!!! this week we have a short episode and we are just getting down to the basics. At the end of the day, this podcast has one goal - that we would READ THE BIBLE. But literally why????
What happens when following Jesus costs you something you never wanted to lose?
This week we’re talking about one of the most relatable people in the Bible: Gideon. Before he ever led 300 men into battle, he was hiding, doubting, and questioning whether God had really chosen him. We unpack who Baal was, why Israel kept turning away from God, and what happened when Gideon’s obedience completely changed his relationship with his own family. We also talk about the reality that following Jesus can sometimes create tension in our closest relationships and why that’s not always a sign you’re doing something wrong. As always, we’ll laugh, learn, and see what this story has to say to us today. 💛📖
The Israelites finally made it to the Promised Land… so how have things already gone left??!?!?!?! We have a little bit of backstory and catching up to do before we can even meet our assasin and the man he pays a visit to. Today we’re diving into Judges 1–3 where Israel starts compromising AND forgetting God. We talk about: ✨ when partial obedience is still disobedience ✨ The dangerous cycle of drifting from God ✨ Why struggle isn’t always a bad thing ✨ The story of Ehud (my lil the left-handed assassin cutie patootie ) ✨ and what modern Christians can maybe learn from Israel’s mess If you’ve ever wondered why we keep repeating the same mistakes, feel spiritually stuck, or feel like compromise “isn’t that deep” , get your tea cup and grab a seat séñorita!!!❤️
