If you are a Godly wife and mom in the middle of a hard transition, 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 real and able!

Hey sister!

Welcome to in case i forget - a podcast that 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

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 ...

    ep. 14 - Hebrews 1:1-2 | Who Wrote Hebrews, Why It Matters, and What God Is Saying to You Right Now
    2026/06/05
    A Study Through the Book of Hebrews | Episode 1 EPISODE OVERVIEW We are officially diving into the book of Hebrews together and y'all, I am so excited about this series. In this first episode we're laying the groundwork — who wrote Hebrews, who it was written to, when it was written, and why it matters for us today. Then we jump right into Hebrews 1:1-2 and start unpacking what it means that God has spoken to us through His Son. Whether you're knee deep in laundry or cooking dinner, pull up a chair — this one is for you. BACKGROUND: WHO WROTE THE BOOK OF HEBREWS? Here's the honest answer: we don't know — and we probably won't know until we get to heaven. The author never identified themselves in the text, which makes Hebrews unique among the New Testament letters. Traditionally, many people (myself included, up until recently) have assumed Paul wrote it. But scholars have found some interesting clues that complicate that assumption. According to commentary by Dr. Malcolm B. Yarnell III of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary: The author was a second-generation Christian — meaning he received the gospel from those who heard Jesus directly, not from Jesus Himself. Paul, on the other hand, claimed his gospel was revealed to him directly by the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:8; Galatians 1:12), which makes it unlikely Paul was the author.The author refers to Timothy as "our brother" (Hebrews 13:23) rather than "a true son in the faith" — which is how Paul consistently referred to Timothy (1 Timothy 1:2). Other possible authors scholars have suggested include Luke, Apollos, and Barnabas. At the end of the day, what matters most is that the early church accepted Hebrews as divinely inspired Word of God — and when you walk through it, you'll see why. WHO WAS IT WRITTEN TO? The recipients are addressed as "brethren" and "beloved" — language used for fellow believers in Christ. Scholars have proposed a few different theories about the specific audience: A breakaway house church that had separated from the main congregationFormer Jewish priests who had converted to Christianity and were considering returning to certain Jewish practices to avoid persecutionA mixed group of Jewish and Gentile Christians who all revered the Old Testament as Scripture WHEN WAS IT WRITTEN? The book was likely written between 64–68 AD — before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Here's why that timing matters: the destruction of the temple in 70 AD was something Jesus Himself had prophesied (Matthew 24), and it marked the definitive end of the old covenant system of sacrifices. The fact that Hebrews doesn't mention this event as having already happened suggests it was written before it occurred. This also lines up with the reign of Nero, who was actively persecuting the church during this period. THE PURPOSE OF HEBREWS Hebrews was written to anchor believers in sound doctrine so they wouldn't be tossed around by every wind of teaching. Specifically it addresses: Jesus is God — His deity, His nature, and why that changes everythingThe old covenant was not sufficient — it was always pointing to Jesus as its fulfillmentWhat it truly means to be a ChristianWhat biblical faith actually looks like — not a feeling, but a foundation THE PASSAGE Hebrews 1:1-2 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." UNPACKING THE PASSAGE "Long ago, at many times and in many ways..." For the original audience reading this in the mid-60s AD, long ago was literally long ago. God had spoken through the prophets for thousands of years — and then went silent for 400 years between Malachi and the birth of Jesus. No major or minor prophet. No national word from God to Israel. Just silence. And yet even in that silence, the prophets had already done their work. From the very first messianic prophecy in Genesis 3:15 — where God tells the serpent that the offspring of the woman will crush his head — all the way through Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, Daniel, and every prophet in between, God was painting a picture of the One who was coming. That's how the Jewish people knew to look for a Messiah at all. A few examples of how God spoke "at many times and in many ways": Daniel — prophesying to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon, outside of Israel entirelyJonah — sent to Nineveh, where the people repented, put on sackcloth and ashes, and turned to God "But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son..." We've been living in the last days since Jesus ascended to heaven. This isn't a reference to a specific future moment — it's a reference to this entire age we're currently in, the age of the church, before Jesus returns. God is outside of time entirely. A day is like a thousand years to Him (2 Peter 3:8). So "these last days" really means this last age — and in it...
