If you are a woman in the middle of a hard transition, running on empty, managing the chaos of being a wife and mom, struggling to remember what God has done, or seeking to go a little deeper in your understanding of biblical theology, here is a digital ebenezer that YHWH (God) is faithful and good. He sees you and knows you!

Hey sister!

Welcome to in case i forget - a space where we trade the noise of the day for the depth of God's presence. This podcast was born out of my repentance (again) for forgetting what God has brought me through and for letting my doubt and uncertainty bring me to a place of control and fear.

I was reading through Exodus, and of course, I couldn't understand how the Israelites could be so forgetful!

  • He sent 10 plagues for their freedom.
  • God literally just took them through two walls of ocean.
  • He fed them manna . . . from heaven!

And yet, they complained as though God had done nothing.

It was during this thought process that the Holy Spirit convicted me. . .

Miki, you literally do the same.

See I was in the middle of a very hard transition - one that was soooo full of God, and yet, my problems felt bigger than the God who so clearly carried us through so many things.

Here, we talk theology and testimonies because we "overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony" (Revelation 12:11), and "until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood,[a] to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13 ESV).

Turn this on while you catch up on dishes and let's remember together.

Love,

Miki

P.S. I have been convicted by the Holy Spirit about the use of AI, so this is my pledge to you to speak and teach by Holy Spirit's leading and using only Logos software to help me find resources as we cover theological conversations. I will, however, use AI to write my show notes directly from each episode's transcripts, carefully and prayerfully reading through them.

    ep 17 - Hebrews 2:1-3 | Don't Drift - How to Stay Anchored When Life Is Pulling You Away
    2026/07/31
    EPISODE TITLE: Hebrews 2:1-3 | Don't Drift — How to Stay Anchored When Life Is Pulling You Away Series: A Study Through the Book of Hebrews | Episode 4 We are back in Hebrews and picking up in chapter 2, and y'all, this passage hit different after the last few weeks. Life has been hard and honestly this study came at exactly the right time. We are only covering verses 1 through 3 today, but there is so much in just these three verses that we cannot rush past it. We are talking about one of the most quietly dangerous things that can happen to a Christian woman in a full season: drifting. Not rebellion. Not walking away on purpose. Just . . . drifting. Subtly. Accidentally. Until you look up and you are miles from where you were supposed to be. If that resonates at all à this one is for you. BEFORE WE JUMP IN — TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS The Seven Letters Club is coming. I have been working on a pen pal, snail mail club — seven letters, three women, over 14 weeks. You will get writing prompts, a journaling pen, and everything you need to write with intention. This is how we take the in case i forget community beyond the digital world and into something real and tangible. All the details enrollment dates, what is included, how to join are at theologyandtestimony.com/the-7-letters-club. Spots are limited for this first session so do not wait. A note on the show notes: My pledge before God is to build these studies without AI. Everything you hear taught on this podcast is Spirit-led and Word-grounded, studied through meditative time spent in the Word, using Logos Software and trusted commentaries. But when it comes to the show notes, I do use AI to help draft them directly from each episodes’ transcripts, and then I read through and edit them to make sure they reflect me and this community. I just want you to know that. Transparency matters here. QUICK RECAP FROM HEBREWS CHAPTER 1 (Episodes 14, 15, and the previous episode in this series) Before we can understand the word therefore that opens chapter 2, we have to remember what came before it. Hebrews chapter 1 established: In the past God spoke through the prophets, but now He speaks through His SonJesus is the radiance of God's glory and the exact imprint of His natureHe upholds the universe by the word of His powerHe made purification for sins and sat down at the right hand of the Father because the work is finishedHe is much superior to the angels. He is not an angel, He is GodHe is the begotten Son of God sharing the exact same nature as the FatherHe is the heir of all things and the firstborn of many brothers and sisters All of that is what the word therefore in chapter 2 verse 1 is pointing back to. THE PASSAGE Hebrews 2:1-3 ESV "Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will." UNPACKING THE PASSAGE The Word "Therefore" Hebrews is not a collection of standalone chapters. It is a continuous letter, one flowing argument from beginning to end. We have divided it into chapters and verses to make it accessible, but the original readers experienced it as one uninterrupted piece of writing. So when chapter 2 opens with therefore, that word is a hinge. Everything said in chapter 1 is being gathered up and carried forward into a new point. The author is essentially saying: given everything I just told you about who Jesus is, here is what that means for how you live. And what does it mean? Pay much closer attention. "We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard lest we drift away from it." Hebrews 2:1 That word drift is the word we have to sit with. In the ancient Greek, the word used here carries the idea of slipping away, παραρρέω (pararrheo), the way something slides out of your hand, or the way a boat that was docked begins to move away from the shore. Not because someone pushed it. Not because there was a storm. Just because nothing was holding it in place and the natural movement of the water did what water does. According to the commentary by David Guzik of Enduring Word (written in 1996), this drifting is something that happens without us realizing it. That is what makes it so dangerous. Drifting is the opposite of intention. It does not happen on purpose. It does not announce itself. It happens in the in-between. . . when you are taking care of your kids and running your home . . . showing up at work and managing your marriage. By the time you come up for air you realize that somewhere in all of that the Word got quiet and God felt far and you cannot quite ...

QUICK RECAP (New here? Go back to Episodes 14 & 15 first!) The author of Hebrews is unknown but accepted as divinely inspired by the early churchWritten before the destruction of the temple in 70 ADWritten to fellow believers — addressed as brethren and belovedHebrews 1:1-5 established that Jesus is the radiance of God's glory, the exact imprint of His nature, superior to angels, and the begotten Son of God THE PASSAGE Hebrews 1:1-14 ESV "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, 'You are my Son, today I have begotten you'? Or again, 'I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son'? And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, 'Let all God's angels worship him.' Of the angels he says, 'He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.' But of the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.' And, 'You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.' And to which of the angels has he ever said, 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet'? Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?" UNPACKING THE PASSAGE Verse 6 — "Let all God's angels worship him." Every time in Scripture that someone attempts to worship an angel, the angel immediately redirects that worship back to God. We see this clearly in Revelation 19:10, where John falls at an angel's feet to worship and the angel says: "You must not do that. I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." Now hold that thought — because what Jesus does is the direct opposite. In Luke 19, during the triumphal entry, the people are crying out, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!" The Pharisees tell Jesus to rebuke His disciples. And Jesus responds: "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out" (Luke 19:40). He doesn't reject the worship. He receives it. And that matters more than we might initially realize. God is jealous for His glory. He does not share His worship. So for God to command the angels to worship His firstborn, and for Jesus to receive that worship without redirecting it — that tells us everything we need to know about who Jesus is. A Note on Jesus Never Saying "I Am God" Jesus never explicitly says word for word "I am God" in Scripture — and a lot of people use that as an argument against His deity. But what He does is actually so much more meaningful. He uses very specific language that the Jewish people — culturally rooted in the Torah, the synagogue, and centuries of prophetic expectation — would have understood immediately as a claim to be the Messiah, the Son of God. When Jesus is in the synagogue in Nazareth and reads from Isaiah 61:1-3 — "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor..." — and then tells the congregation "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing" (Luke 4:16-21), He is making an unmistakable claim. Not the kind of claim that Roman emperors made when they called themselves gods. Something far more specific. Something that could only mean one thing to that particular people in that particular moment. And their reaction — "Is this not Joseph's son?" — tells us they understood exactly what He was saying. Verse 7 — "He makes his angels winds and his ...

    ep. 15 - Hebrews 1:3-5 | The Radiance of God and Why Jesus Is Not an Angel
    2026/06/12
    EPISODE OVERVIEW We're back in Hebrews and picking up right where we left off. This week we're in verses 3 through 5 — and y'all, there is so much gold packed into just these three verses. We're talking about what it means that Jesus is the radiance of God's glory, how His sacrifice made purification for our sins, why it matters that He sat down at the right hand of the Father, and why Jesus is absolutely not an angel. If anyone has ever tried to tell you otherwise, this episode is your answer. Grab your Bible and let's get into it. QUICK RECAP FROM EPISODE 1 (New here? Go back and listen to Episode 14 first!) We don't know who wrote Hebrews, but the early church accepted it as divinely inspired Word of GodIt was written before the destruction of the temple in 70 ADIt was written to fellow believers — addressed as brethren and belovedThe purpose: to give believers a solid doctrinal foundation so we're not tossed around by every wind of teaching THE PASSAGE Hebrews 1:1-5 ESV "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, 'You are my Son, today I have begotten you'? Or again, 'I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son'?" UNPACKING THE PASSAGE "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature." — Hebrews 1:3 Think about the sun for a second. We can't look directly at it without it hurting our eyes. We can't get close enough to touch it without being consumed by it. And yet because of the light it gives off, we can see everything. The Bible calls God a consuming fire — holy, unapproachable in His fullness. In the same way we can't look directly at the sun, we can't look directly at God. But He gave us His radiance. Jesus is the radiance of God's glory — the light that allows us to see the Father. And when one of His disciples asked Jesus to show them the Father, Jesus responded: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9). He is the exact imprint of God's nature. Not a copy, not a lesser version — the exact imprint. The sun parallel also gives us a beautiful picture of the Trinity: The sun itself — God the Father, holy and unapproachable in His fullnessThe light the sun gives off — Jesus, the radiance of God's glory, by whom we see everything clearlyThe heat and warmth — the Holy Spirit, doing what only He can do: causing growth, bringing renewal, providing warmth, walking us through seasons And speaking of seasons — spring brings new growth, summer things flourish, fall the dead things fall away (old theology, old habits, old ways of thinking God needs to uproot), and winter brings that holy stillness where God quiets everything down so He can get our attention. Every season has purpose. "He upholds the universe by the word of his power." — Hebrews 1:3 This is echoed directly in Colossians 1:15-17 — all things were created through Him and for Him, and in Him all things hold together. And here's something that just wrecked me when I first learned it: There is a protein called the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) — part of an interlocking structural network called the extracellular matrix — that literally holds cells together. When you look at a picture of it, it is shaped like a cross. Y'all. The very thing that holds creation together at a cellular level is shaped like a cross. That is the intentionality of God woven into creation itself. Creation points back to its Creator. "After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." — Hebrews 1:3 Think about how olive oil is made. Olives are stacked in layers in wide circular baskets and pressed down by levers until the pure oil is squeezed out. The impurities can't pass through — only the pure oil makes it. Extra virgin. Refined. Unstained. Jesus was pressed down for us. He went through that process so that when the Father looks at us, He doesn't see our sin — He sees us through the purification that His Son made. As Psalm 64 (Isaiah 64:6) reminds us, our best is like filthy rags before a holy God. We could never do enough on our own. But Christ did what we couldn't. And then — He sat down. You sit down when the work is finished. The right hand has always been a position of honor, status, and authority. Even the disciples understood this — James and John tried to quietly secure the seats at Jesus' right and left hand in the kingdom (Mark 10:35-37). Jesus told them they didn't know what they were asking. But ...
