SO WHY READ THE BIBLE???
2026/08/07
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???? Let's talk Baddies and Bible!! lol Please like, comment, subscribe for more!!Love you guys very much!!
Following Jesus Cost More Than I Expected
2026/07/11
What happens when following Jesus costs you something you never wanted to lose? In Luke 18, Jesus challenges the rich young ruler with a question that still confronts us today: What are you unwilling to surrender? In this episode, we’re talking about the real cost of discipleship. I’ll share the story of my brother walking away from the faith because he felt it demanded too much and I’ll open up about one of the hardest seasons of my own life…God calling me to step away from leading worship, something I wrestled with for over a year girl If you’ve ever wondered whether obedience is worth it, struggled to let go of something you loved, or felt like God was asking too much of you, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the only way through what God asks of us… is with God Himself. So grab your bibles, some tea and idk maybe tissues? As always my DMs are open!! Please like, comment, subscribe!💕 love you guys!!
Gideon: The Cowardly Judge?
2026/06/26
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 OG Girlboss: Deborah, Paul & Can Women Lead?
2026/06/12
Welcome back girlies!!!!!💕 Today we’re in Judges 4 and Israel is going THROUGH IT 😭 Enter: Deborah — prophet, judge, leader, and actually THE MOMENT. and she waaaasssss that girl. But of course… if we’re talking about Deborah... then we have to talk about Paul 👀 Because what do we do with verses like 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2? Was Paul against women leading? Was something specific happening? And if Deborah could lead Israel… what exactly are we supposed to do with all of this? No fighting in the comments pls lol I WAS NOT THERE. We’re opening the Bible, asking questions, and trying to understand the text together. 📖 Today’s main text: Judges 4 With mentions of: 1 Corinthians 14 & 1 Timothy 2 Grab your snack, Bible, and opinions… because girl today? We’re going there.
Israel’s Left handed Assasin: INTRO TO JUDGES
2026/06/05
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!!!❤️ Chapters covered: Judges 1–3 Don’t forget to go read it for yourself girl!!!
Catfish: The Gibeonite Scam..
2026/04/17
Israel gets catfished… and I’m not kidding girl In this episode, we break down the Gibeonite scam, what it means to move without prayer, and how some consequences are kinda avoidable Then Joshua 10 flips everything and now we're praying bold, impossible prayers and God ANSWERED So why don’t we pray like that? And why do we wait until things fall apart to seek Him? The answer is still TBD lol If you’ve ever trusted your own judgment, skipped prayer, or only talked to God in crisis… samesies girl🥲 but we’re gonna live and learn We're in Joshua 9-10. LOVE YOUUUU!!!
SHAME SHAME, I KNOW YOUR NAME: Israel’s Comeback Era
2026/03/28
THIS TIME WE LISTEN TO GOD.....BUT THIS IS A COMEBACK STORY GIRL so buckle up In this episode, we’re talking about second chances, doing things differently, and what changes when you actually listen to God. If you’ve ever had to learn something the hard way, consider this your gentle (or not so gentle 👀) reminder. DONT FORGET TO SEND YOUR TESTIMONY https://forms.gle/96y1njJwWmYcmrqW9 LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU dont forget to like, comment (for Jennie's testimony lol) and subscribe!!
Another wall bites the dust ( THE WALLS OF JERICHO)
2026/03/14
HEY GIRLLLLLL!! first things’ first… THE TESTIMONY LINK https://forms.gle/vLjv87psE22HtABW9 I can’t WAIT to read what ya’ll have to share!! THERE IS NOTHING TOO CRAZY OR TOO SMALL!! Now today’s story..Joshua 6–7 is honestly a wild emotional rollercoaster. One minute the walls of Jericho are falling after Israel literally marches around the city like it’s a worship parade… and the next minute Israel loses a battle they absolutely should have won. So what happened? In this episode we talk about obedience that doesn’t make sense, Jericho as an act of worship, and the uncomfortable reality that hidden sin doesn’t stay hidden for long. I pray, through talking about today's story, you feel encouraged to read it!! In Jesus name. LOVE YOU GUYS!!
MAMA WE MADE IT....over the Jordan
2026/03/07
Israel has been wandering in the wilderness for 40 years… and now the moment has finally come. In this episode, we’re talking about Joshua 3–5, where God literally stops the Jordan River so Israel can walk straight into the Promised Land. But this story isn’t just about crossing a river — it’s about God picking the story back up right where He left off. We’re talking flood, period cramps/butt zaps/restoration and even spiritual fatigue. Basically… after forty years of wandering, Israel can finally look around and say: “Mama… we made it.” But did they????? LIKE, COMMENT SUBSCRIBE!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!💗💗
Pretty Woman: Canaan Edition
2026/02/13
Hey girlies 🤍 This episode we’re getting into Joshua 1 and 2 — new leadership, big responsibility, and God repeating “be strong and courageous” like He knows we’re going to need to hear it more than once. AND THEN ONE OF MY FAVE TOPICS MISS RAHAB THE PROSTITUTE!!! We also briefly touch on James 2 and that whole “faith without works is dead” conversation. Not in a heavy, theological way — but in a real way. What does it actually look like for your faith to move? I’m so excited about today’s episode!!! I love you guys!! We’re in Joshua 1 and 2 James 2 Revelation 3 ALSO there’s a playlist for this season called “I WONT BE AFRAID” DM ME FOR THE LINK OR JOIN THE CHANNEL ON INSTA!
Deuteronomy: A Villain Origin Story?
2026/02/06
Before the Israelites ever step into the Promised Land, Moses hits pause and gives one long, heartfelt reminder: don’t forget God. In this episode, we zoom out and talk about Deuteronomy as a whole—not as a list of rules, but as a moment of deep spiritual tension. A people on the edge of promise, a leader who won’t be going with them, and a God who knows how easy it is for faith to turn into habit… and then into performance. We unpack why Deuteronomy sounds repetitive, why God keeps saying remember, and how this book quietly sets the stage for future faith crises—including the rise of the Pharisees. What happens when remembering God turns into managing Him? When obedience replaces intimacy? When faith becomes more about control than trust? This is a conversation about memory, fear, love, and what it looks like to carry God with you into a new season—without losing your heart along the way. If you’ve ever felt like your faith got complicated, heavy, or overly rule-focused… this one’s for you.
Imma hold your hand when I say this
2025/12/30
As we close out the book of Numbers (chapters 32 through the end), we arrive at a powerful and sobering moment for Israel — the wilderness is almost over, but not everyone is ready to cross over. In this episode, we walk through the final chapters of Numbers, where some tribes choose to settle just short of the promise, satisfied with good land instead of God’s full inheritance. It’s a warning we still need today: don’t get weary at the edge of breakthrough, and don’t stay behind when God is calling you forward. If you’ve been tired, discouraged, or tempted to settle because the journey has been long, this episode is for you. We talk about finishing well, staying obedient even when it’s uncomfortable, and why the end of the wilderness requires just as much faith as the beginning. As we reflect on Israel’s final steps before the Jordan, we’re reminded that our true rest isn’t found in settling — it’s found in remaining in Jesus. Stay encouraged in this season. The promise is closer than you think. Don’t stop short. Don’t stay behind. Cross over.
Pride and Prejudice: an unromantic wilderness tale
2025/12/19
Two stories of sisters, anger, honor and family drama—one daughter’s heartbreak sparks chaos, while another group’s bold appeal changes the law. No romance here, just revenge, justice, and a whole lot of tension in the wildnerness (even years later). but WHAT IS THE COMMON THREAD?? GIRLIES WE ARE IN NUMBERS 27 AND GENESIS 34!!!! and honestly... no comment...yet please please please share your thoughts with me!! I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS!! I love you guys!! like, comment, subscribe for more Bible stories!!
Love Island: The Wilderness Edition
2025/12/06
We have a SCANDAL ON OUR HANDS, YA’LL!!!! Israel is minding their business at camp—until a Moabite/Midianite situationship turns into full-blown idolatry drama. There’s flirting, feasting, a plague, and one shocking “absolutely not” moment that Phinehas shuts down faster than I’ve pulled my friend away from her ex 😭 it’s messy. It’s intense. And it’s one of the wildest stories in Numbers!! (We’re in Numbers 25 & 31) I pray that talking about this story, STIRS UP THE INTEREST TO AND READ IT!!! May we all fall deeper in love with the Word of God and in that, find ourselves closer to Him than ever before!!! In Jesus name!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!💗 Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe for more Bible Stories!!! Also let’s chat about the stories!! DM ME!!!
