As we step into Holy Week and prepare our hearts for Easter, I found myself thinking, this one I needed to hear again—and I hope it might touch your heart in the same way. With that thought in mind, I’m re-airing the bonus Holy Week & Easter episode from last year of Open Our Bibles Together, where I had the joy of sitting down for a conversation with Tammy Munson from Christian Podcasting Secrets. In this one, we took a meaningful walk through the events of Holy Week as if we were actually there: the cheers of Palm Sunday, the solemn weight of the Last Supper, the heartbreak of...

In today’s episode of Open Our Bibles Together, we’re opening up Deuteronomy chapters 26–28. These are chapters that often get labeled as “blessings and curses,” and if you’ve ever felt a little uneasy with that language, please know that you’re not alone (I’m definitely raising my hand over here along with you, my friends). But as we slow down and read them carefully, we start to notice something else going on. Over and over, Moses is reminding the people to look back. To remember where they came from. To remember what God has already done for them. And from that place of...

In today’s episode of Open Our Bibles Together, we’re digging into Deuteronomy chapters 23–25, and what might seem like a list of random rules at first actually comes together around one powerful theme: remembering the God who rescues. Moses keeps reminding Israel—over and over again—to look back before they move forward. In Deuteronomy 24:18, he says, “Always remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD your God redeemed you from your slavery.” God isn’t just giving instructions—He’s pointing His people back to their rescue story and saying, Let that shape...

In this episode, we dive into Deuteronomy 20–22, standing with the Israelites on the edge of the Promised Land, listening to Moses’ reminders and instructions, and seeing God as their Commander-in-Chief who goes before them and never leaves their side. We explore the battles they will face, the nations they will encounter, and the instructions God gave to protect life, uphold justice, and prepare His people to live faithfully in the land He promised to Abraham all the way back in Genesis. We also walk through the everyday instructions — caring for neighbors, protecting property,...

From Moses to the Messiah and Beyond — from the warnings and guidance of Moses to the courageous witness of Stephen, today’s episode shows us God’s faithfulness across generations. ❤️ Together, we explore Deuteronomy 17–19, taking a closer look at God’s guidance for leadership, justice, and faithful living. We see how Moses prepared his people not just for the Promised Land, but for the ultimate Prophet, Priest, and King — Jesus Christ. His words were full of care, warning, and hope, pointing forward to God’s plan for redemption. Then we follow a thread from the Old...

Open Our Bibles Together with MFahring is officially back from a holiday break with another episode release! 🎉 It’s been a little while — since the end of November, actually — that we’ve been walking through Deuteronomy together, so we start today with a quick refresher on where we’ve been before diving into chapters 14–16.

Welcome to Week 3 of the God With Us Advent re-air series on OOBT! Today’s episode, God With Us While We Wait, invites us to pause in the midst of the busy holiday season and reflect on the deeper meaning of Advent: He has come… and He is coming. In this episode, we explore how Jesus, our Emmanuel, is present with us in every part of life—the hard and the good, the joy and the pain, in the weariness and in the waiting. We dive into what it means to trust God in the “in-between” moments, to let Advent slow our hearts and minds, and to recognize that the waited time is not wasted...

Merriest almost Christmas, OOBTers! This is Week 2 of the God With Us Advent series. In today’s episode, we trace the threads of God’s rescue plan through some often-overlooked parts of the Christmas story—beginning with the dedication of the firstborn, Simeon and Anna’s encounter with Jesus in the Temple, the Wise Men’s visit, the flight to Egypt, and God’s call to return to Nazareth. Through it all, we see God as our faithful Promise Keeper—working in both the light and the darkness, weaving joy and sorrow into His beautiful plan of redemption. And just like you, I’m...

Advent is here! Today kicks off a brand-new series on OOBT: God With Us. For the next four weeks, leading right up to Christmas Eve, I’ll be re-airing past Advent episodes—and I’ll be listening right alongside you, my OOBTers! In this episode, we trace Old Testament promises and prophecies of the Rescuer who came down to the Israelites in Egypt, just as our Rescuer came down to us in the form of a baby in a manger. The gift of that baby in the manger is incredible, but even more amazing is the mystery of our Savior’s presence forever with us through the Holy Spirit. God With...
