In this episode of The Holy Chit-Chat, we start off strong in ADHD land with a few little stories but we quickly dive into Genesis. This week, we're chattin' about Genesis 30:25 through chapter 31. and—let’s be honest—things get a little wild. Jacob starts building his own wealth, tensions with Laban hit a boiling point, and Rachel straight-up steals her dad’s household gods like it’s no big deal. 🤯

And, as always, we take a few unexpected detours along the way—some lighthearted, some thought-provoking, and some that’ll have you laughing out loud. 🐑💭

Whether you're here for the Bible chat or the tangents, we’ve got something for you. Hit play and let's unpack the blessings, the betrayals, and everything in between.

✨ Don’t forget—we’ve got a giveaway coming soon, so stay tuned and make sure you’re following us on socials!

In this episode, we dive into one of the wildest family dynamics in Scripture—Jacob, Leah, Rachel, and the complicated, messy story of love, jealousy, and legacy.

We read through Genesis 29–30:24 and unpack the heartbreak of being chosen last, the danger of comparison, and how God still moves in broken families and fractured relationships. Leah's longing, Rachel’s rivalry, and Jacob’s dysfunction are all on full display—but so is God's faithfulness.

📖 “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” – Genesis 28:16

In this episode of The Holy Chit-Chat, we’re unpacking Genesis 28:6–22—where Jacob, fleeing his family and sleeping under the stars, has a powerful dream from God. It’s a turning point for him spiritually, a reminder that even in the middle of nowhere, God sees us, speaks to us, and has a plan for us. But what stands out just as much is what Jacob doesn’t have in this moment: full commitment (... he uses that little "if" word 🤔).

But we’re not just talking about Jacob’s encounter—we’re digging into something we all need to hear: the importance of having the right people around us. We talk about how crucial it is to be surrounded by friends and mentors who will lift you up, encourage you in your walk with Jesus, and hold you accountable when you need it most.

🌱 We’ll explore questions like:

Whether you're building your faith or rebuilding from rock bottom, this episode is a reminder that we were never meant to do life alone.

🙌 Tune in, take a breath, and let’s chit-chat about growing in faith together.

Hey hey, Chit-Chatters! 👋

In this week’s episode of The Holy Chit-Chat, we’re diving headfirst into Genesis 27, where things get real messy, real fast in the house of Isaac and Rebekah. 🎭

We’re talking about the ultimate sibling rivalry as Jacob—coached by his mom—tricks his aging father into giving him the blessing meant for Esau. From disguises and goatskins to whispered schemes and family fallout, this chapter has it all: deceit, drama, and divine direction. (... it'd make a pretty great movie if you ask us.)

Join us as we unpack:

Why Rebekah may have felt justified in helping Jacob deceive Isaac

What this story says about favoritism, trust, and God's sovereignty

The long-term impact this moment had on Jacob, Esau, and their descendants

Plus, we throw in a few laughs (because you know we can't help ourselves), and challenge you with some questions to reflect on your own family dynamics and trust in God's plan—even when it feels upside down.

OH! After Episode 20 goes live, we're doing a giveaway!!! 🥳 Make sure you follow our socials so you have all the details!

📖 Scripture: Genesis 27

Hey hey, chit-chatters! This week we’re digging (literally and spiritually) into Genesis 26, where Isaac is retracing his father Abraham’s footsteps—and not always in a good way.

First up, can we talk about the wild déjà vu moment when Isaac tells Abimelek that Rebekah is his sister instead of his wife? Sound familiar? That’s because it’s the exact same stunt his dad Abraham pulled with the same king!

After the king discovers the truth, he send Isaac away and he starts digging some serious roots—and also re-digging some wells. But it’s not just about ancient water rights. This chapter gets us thinking:

As Isaac faces conflict, rejection, and tension over and over again, we explore how his peaceful responses challenge us today. From moving on instead of fighting to trusting God for provision, there’s a lot of wisdom in this dusty old chapter.

We also share some real talk about what it looks like when you’re trying to give someone good advice or point them toward truth—and they just… won’t take it. Whether it's a family member, a friend, or someone you're mentoring, we talk about how to stay gracious, not get bitter, and keep digging the wells God has for you.

In this episode:

So grab your coffee (or your camel water jug), and let’s get into it.

📖 Scripture Focus: Genesis 26

Hey hey, Chit-Chatters! We’ve got a special treat for you this week—guest host alert! Joining us is none other than one of the Josh's from Good Morning Josh (aka your favorite morning duo with a caffeine addiction and a gift for hilarity).

That’s right—we’re tag-teaming Genesis 25 with a fresh voice in the mix, bringing extra insight, laughs, and maybe a controversial take on lentil stew.

This chapter is PACKED. We say goodbye to Abraham (cue the montage), meet Ishmael’s boy-band-sized family tree, and then dive into the ultimate sibling smackdown: Jacob and Esau, fighting from inside the womb all the way to a stew-soaked birthright betrayal.

We chit about:

With one of the Joshs from Good Morning Josh on the mic, you know it’s gonna be a good time. Expect laughs, perspective, and probably a snack craving by the end.

Hey hey, chit-chatters! Grab your travel snacks and your best servant heart because we’re heading out on a matchmaking mission in Genesis 24! This chapter is basically the OG rom-com: a faithful servant, a long journey, a well-side meet-cute, and—wait for it—camel hydration as a love language.

In this episode, we chit about:

This chapter isn’t just about finding “the one”—it’s about listening to God, acting in faith, and remembering that it’s okay to be a little picky when it comes to your people. If Rebekah can check all the boxes and water 10 camels, we can raise the bar a bit too, right?

So press play and let’s chit-chat about the God who orchestrates every detail—even the romantic ones.

Genesis 23

Hey hey, chit-chatters! We’re back with Episode 14, and today we’re heading into Genesis 23—aka the one where Sarah passes away (cue the sad violin) and Abraham becomes a first-time landowner. Yep, there’s grief, there’s real estate, and there’s a surprisingly heartfelt lesson in buying a burial plot.

It might not sound like the most exciting chapter, but trust us—this one’s got layers. Like, ancient-Middle-Eastern-customs-meet-God’s-promises kind of layers.

Sarah dies 😢 (but don’t worry—we’re handling it with love and maybe a few light jokes)

Abraham negotiates like a boss for a cave in Hebron

Why this land deal is actually a huge faith move

And how to hold onto hope, even when you’re holding a funeral

🪦 Grief (it’s real, but we don’t have to be weird about it)

Abraham’s buying a tomb, but really, he’s making a statement: God’s promises are still on the table. Even in death, there’s faith. Even in loss, there’s legacy. And also—he probably overpaid for that cave. (But hey, it’s for Sarah.)

Grab a snack, pull up a chair, and let’s chit-chat.

Welcome to The Holy Chit-Chat, where we talk theology with a little sass and a lot of snacks (yes... we have so many snacks 😅).

In Episode 13, we're diving into one of the Bible’s biggest “WAIT, HOLD UP” moments — Genesis 22, a.k.a. that time God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and Abraham... actually went for it?!

😳 Yeah, that chapter.

We talk tests of faith, divine drama, and what it means to really trust God when the stakes are literally your child’s life (no pressure, Abe). Plus, we ask the big questions:

Why did God ask Abraham to do something so extreme?

Was Isaac just chill with this whole thing? (... did he get therapy after this?)

What’s up with the ram in the bushes — coincidence or God’s divine DoorDash?

And how in the world does this story point straight to Jesus?

It’s serious stuff, but you know we’re keeping it real, wrestling with the hard parts, and probably making a few too many sarcastic comments along the way. Classic Holy Chit-Chat vibes.

Hey peeps! We’re back with Episode 12 of The Holy Chit-Chat, and this week we're unpacking Genesis 20 and 21—aka that time Abraham repeated the same lie and God still came through big time. 😅

Here’s the gist:

In Genesis 20, Abraham pulls the ol’ “She’s my sister” move again (seriously, Abe?), and somehow ends up looking like the less righteous guy in the room. We get into how fear messes with faith—and how God steps in anyway.

Then in Genesis 21, it finally happens: Isaac is born! Cue the laughter, joy, and… some serious family drama. We talk about Sarah’s side-eyes, Hagar’s heartbreak, and how God sees everyone—even when they’re cast out.

We chat about:

Why does Abraham keep lying about Sarah? 

The weirdly gracious way God shows up for people who don’t deserve it (lookin’ at you, Abe).

What Sarah’s laughter tells us about waiting, disbelief, and finally seeing God’s promise.

The raw, gut-punch moment Hagar and Ishmael are sent away—and how God meets them right in the wilderness.

What this whole messy family situation says about God’s bigger plan—and His heart for the outsiders.

Major vibes this episode:

God is faithful, even when we repeat dumb mistakes.

Laughter and pain can coexist.

Nobody is forgotten—not even in the wilderness.
