Episode 66 kicks off our Advent series and we’re diving headfirst into Week One of Awakening Wonder. Tonight we light the hope candle, chase through some mind-blowing prophecies, talk about tiny Bethlehem, wander through the wilderness with pillars of fire, and even meet Hagar in her “I’m done with life” moment. This week’s Scriptures paint a powerful picture of a Savior who doesn’t stay distant — He comes close, leads us, sees us, and shines light right into the places we try to hide. It’s Advent Bible Thumpers style: lots of Scripture, plenty of rabbit trails, a few squirrel moments, and of course the four of us laughing, learning, and letting the Word do what it does best. Grab your coffee and join us — Christmas starts right here.

Tonight we opened our Bibles to Acts chapters eighteen through twenty, and even though we were missing our girl April, it still became a rich conversation full of Scripture, humor, and deep reflection. We followed Paul into Corinth, watched the beauty of his friendship with Aquila and Priscilla, and witnessed how God strengthened him when discouragement pressed in. From there we stepped into Ephesus, where the gospel shook an entire city, magic scrolls burned, demons trembled, and the Word of the Lord prevailed with unstoppable power. Then we traveled into Troas and held our breath as Eutychus fell from the window, only to be raised back to life through the power of God. It reminded us that even ordinary moments can become holy when God is present.

Acts chapter twenty pulled us into a tender farewell scene with the Ephesian elders, marked by tears, humility, courage, and a heart of true shepherding. We heard Paul speak with conviction, warn of wolves, urge bravery, and commit them to the Word of God that is strong enough to sustain them. It was a full study, a long journey, and a meaningful night at the table. We missed April deeply and felt her absence, but we carried on, opened the Word, and let Scripture speak with authority and comfort. Grab your Bible, settle in, and walk with us through these three powerful chapters. The room may have been missing one chair, but the presence of God filled the space completely.

Episode sixty four of the Bible Thumpers takes us deep into Acts chapters sixteen and seventeen and it turns out to be one of the funniest and most unpredictable episodes yet. Between the wild rabbit holes, the joyful chaos of our conversations, and the amount of time we somehow spent talking about circumcision, this one kept us laughing from start to finish. We walk through Paul and Silas worshiping in prison, the dramatic conversion of the Philippian jailer, the brilliance of the Bereans, and Paul’s bold message in Athens. Every moment is packed with teaching, excitement, and the kind of humor that can only happen when the four of us gather around the table with our Bibles, our iced coffee, and our squirrel moments.

This episode is full of heart, Scripture, and the kind of friendship that makes Bible study feel like sitting at the kitchen table with people who truly love Jesus. We dive into the power of worship in suffering, the importance of knowing the Word like the Bereans, and the boldness it takes to stand in front of a crowd and proclaim truth the way Paul did. If you need laughter, encouragement, Bible knowledge, and a whole lot of real life honesty, you do not want to miss this one. Grab your coffee, settle in, and join us for another unforgettable talk through the book of Acts.

Episode #63 of The Bible Thumpers Podcast dives headfirst into Acts chapters 13–15, and let’s just say… this one was full of laughter, conviction, and a few wild rabbit holes that even Luke himself couldn’t have charted! From Paul and Barnabas’ missionary adventures to the fiery debates in the early church, this episode blends humor with deep biblical truth as the Thumpers unpack what it means to be bold for Christ while navigating opposition, miracles, and ministry growing pains.

You’ll hear us bounce from serious study moments to downright hilarious detours, but every tangent circles back to one truth — the unstoppable power of the gospel. So grab your coffee, open your Bible, and join us as we thump through these action-packed chapters with open hearts, big laughs, and plenty of “did that really just happen?” moments. This episode will leave you inspired, encouraged, and maybe just a little bit convicted in the best way possible.

The Bible Thumpers are back around the table for part six of our deep dive through the book of Acts, covering chapters 10 through 12. This episode is packed with laughter, lessons, and a few fainting goats thanks to April’s unforgettable parable that you will not want to miss. We trace Peter’s journey from rooftop vision to miraculous prison escape, watching the gospel explode beyond boundaries and transform hearts. Marie and Cassandra bring fire, April brings stories, and I bring a handful of random facts that somehow tie it all together as the Holy Spirit moves through every verse.

It is a conversation that will leave you inspired, challenged, and maybe laughing until you cry. You will hear what faith looks like when it walks into impossible situations and what peace looks like when Peter sleeps soundly on the night before his execution. Grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and join us for another real, raw, and joy filled study that reminds us that God’s Word is alive, unstoppable, and always a little unpredictable.

In episode 61 of the Bible Thumpers podcast, we dive deep into Acts chapters 8 and 9 where the gospel begins to spread beyond Jerusalem and into the world. From Philip’s powerful encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch to Saul’s dramatic transformation on the road to Damascus, these chapters remind us that God’s Word cannot be stopped. Every persecution, every hardship, and every unexpected moment becomes a doorway for the gospel to move forward. Miracles unfold, lives are changed, and the message of Jesus begins breaking through cultural and spiritual barriers that once seemed impossible.

Grab your coffee and join the Bible Thumpers as we unpack the unstoppable power of God’s Word. Together we look at how Philip’s obedience and Saul’s redemption reveal the heart of a God who pursues us no matter where we are. This episode is full of encouragement, insight, and a reminder that when God moves, nothing can stand in His way. Whether you are new to the book of Acts or studying it for the hundredth time, this conversation will stir your faith and remind you that the same Spirit working through the early church is still working in us today.

This episode of The Bible Thumpers takes us deep into the drama and fire of Acts chapters 5 through 7. From Ananias and Sapphira’s not-so-honest offering to Stephen’s fearless sermon that shook the Sanhedrin, we dove straight into what happens when the Holy Spirit meets human pride. Between Cassandra trying to keep us on topic (and failing only slightly), April comparing hypocrisy to her chickens pretending to lay eggs, and Marie reminding us that holiness isn’t optional, there were plenty of laughs mixed with some holy conviction.

We unpacked the courage it takes to live truthfully, the cost of obedience, and the unstoppable power of the gospel even in persecution. Brooke—of course—brought the theology heat, Cassandra brought the fire, April brought the farm stories, and Marie brought the calm. It’s raw, real, funny, and deeply moving. Whether you need a reminder that God’s truth still stands or just a good laugh with four women who love Jesus fiercely, this episode hits every note.

In this week’s episode of the Bible Thumpers podcast, we dive into Acts chapters 3 and 4 where the power of God moves through ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Peter and John heal a man who had been lame since birth, and the miracle opens the door for Peter to boldly preach the gospel. The early church begins to take shape as lives are transformed, faith is tested, and courage rises in the face of opposition.

We also unpack what it means to stand firm in truth when the world tells you to be quiet. Acts 4 reminds us that the same Holy Spirit that empowered Peter and John still empowers us today. If you need encouragement to speak up, hold steady, and live out your faith with boldness, this episode is for you. Tune in and be reminded that God still works through ordinary people who are willing to say yes.

Episode 58 takes us into Acts chapter 2 where the Holy Spirit rushes in and the early church is born. We dig into Pentecost, the bold transformation of Peter, and what true repentance really means. It’s powerful, funny, and packed with truth as the girls connect Scripture to real life and a few modern-day “aha” moments.

There’s plenty of laughter, honest conviction, and even a side story about sourdough that somehow fits right into the lesson. By the end, listeners are reminded that faith isn’t passive—it’s alive, fiery, and unforgettable, just like the early church itself.

Episode 57 is here, and we are diving headfirst into the book of Acts — and let’s just say, it grabbed us right from the start. We only made it through the introduction and chapter 1, but don’t let that fool you. Acts is packed so full of fire, boldness, miracles, and the power of the Spirit that we could camp out here for weeks (and we will). This book doesn’t just tell stories; it shows us what happens when ordinary people are filled with an extraordinary God.

We’re planning to spend 5–8 weeks walking through Acts together, and honestly, that might not even be enough. There’s too much good stuff to rush, and you know us — we’re going to laugh, rabbit trail, and probably step on some toes along the way. But we’re here for it all. If you’re ready to see how the early church flipped the world upside down, grab your Bible and come thump along with us.
