Maybe you've noticed the little letters in your Bible pointing to additional verses in the margin, maybe you haven't! These are cross references, and we think they are one of the most important tools for studying Scripture! These notations help guide you to verses with similar words, theme, or context for the verse you are studying. Scripture interprets Scripture, and this is a key skill to understanding that. Join Autumn and Annabel as they walk through WHY these are important and how to use them! 

Does it matter who wrote the Bible? Does it matter who the Bible was written to? Someone's background, education, and life experiences change the way we perceive what they say. Who we are, what we believe, or where we live all determines how we receive new information and how we may feel about it. When studying Scripture, knowing the author & audience of a particular book or chapter helps us gain insight into what they are saying. Join us as we talk through this essential study tool on this week's episode!  Check out the entire Chicago Statement on Biblical Hermeuntics!  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!  

In this episode, Autumn and Annabel talk through Bible translations. To study the Bible, a very important step is having a Bible, but you go into a Christian book store and there are five million options. Which should you pick?! We're talking about the different types of translations and how to incorporate them as you study. You may use one Bible for reference and one for readability! Check the episode out to deepen your study and understand why you have the Bible you have!

You sit down and open up your Bible...but now what?! Do you know how to study Scripture? How do you choose a study? How do you chose a church with a pastor that teaches the Bible? It is so important to renew your mind with the knowledge of Scripture. Being consistent in your study takes discipline but it is worth it!  Annabel and Autumn talk through their journeys learning to study and their "why" for doing so.  Print our Bible study guide!

We are BACK with Season 17 of the Oh Hey Truth podcast! School is in session and we are ready to learn more about the STUDY of God's Word. How do you find motivation to read Scripture when you don't have the discpline or motivation? Should your church leadership teach and model how to study the Bible? Do you have the tools you need to study God's Word effectively? Join Annabel and Autumn as they talk through updates to our team, our new release schedule, and how we are continuing our Year of the Bible! 

Summer reading season! Reading through the Bible, you may notice there are so many different types of books and writing styles in Scripture. These are separated into Biblical literature types or genres, and knowing the type you are reading helps understand the context. Reading poetry differs from reading letters between friends; reading historical narrative differs from reading prophecy! Join Autumn and Annabel as they explain these different genres in the conclusion of season 16 of the Oh Hey Truth podcast!  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth & donate to our ministry or join our Psalms Bible study on Patreon!

We're back with the second half of our New Testament Culture episodes! So much to cover and dive into about the early church in first century Jerusalem and across the Roman empire. We're chatting head coverings, crucifixion, Roman soldiers, and God's perfect timing for bringing His Son into the world. We believe understanding the context of Scripture helps us comprehend it at a deeper level, so join us as we discuss the audience of Paul's letters and their cultural norms!  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!

How did the history and military conquests leading up to the New Testament affect the culture? How did the Jewish nation deal with pagan ruler after pagan ruler? How did the Roman Empire impact Jesus' life? If you have ever asked any of these questions, this episode is for you! We dive into the culture of first century Palestine and how Jewish lives were impacted by the Hellenistic culture around them. Knowing this context helps us better understand the Gospels and Christ's life and message. Join Autumn and Annabel on this historical roller coaster!

Have you ever thought about what day to day life was like in the Old Testament? In the thousands of years it spans, Israelite culture grew and development as civilization itself did. In this episode, we help break down important aspects, fun facts, and our favorite parts of what culture looked like in the ancient Near East for God's people. From food to entertainment to family life, we want to equip you to understand God's Word better by understanding the lives lived in Scripture!  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!

Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek: the languages of the original text of Scripture are RICH with meaning and help us understand God's Word even better. While you don't need to be a Biblical language scholar or take a class on Ancient Hebrew to be able to read the Bible, we find that looking up words in their original form can be so meaningful in studying Scripture. We talk about the basics of these languages and why we believe it is so helpful to have a basic grasp on Biblical languages. Join Autumn and Annabel in this week's episode!  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!

Maybe you didn't choose geography as your favorite subject in high school...BUT if we want to deepen our knowledge of Scripture, we've got to understand the geography of the Bible.  Without an understanding of geography, we cannot fully comprehend Biblical history. When we know the names, locations, and topography of biblical places, it gives us visualization and comprehension that we wouldn't have otherwise. Join us for this episode as we discuss WHY this is a topic worth your time! 

Is Jesus present in only one half of the Bible? Just because Jesus' birth starts the New Testament doesn't mean that He is not woven throughout the Old Testament as well! Jesus is the main character in all of Scripture, and His Gospel is showcased over and over again. "Christ is patterned, promised, and present" throughout the Old Testament! Join us to learn about theophanies, Christophany, and other references that lead us to the Son!  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!

A melodic line is a succession of notes forming a distinctive sequence. While there are a lot of different notes and sounds that make up a song, the melody is described as a “distinctive sequence.” You can hear it and recognize it above all the other notes. One could say the melody is the THEME of a song. So is there a melodic line in Scripture? Yes! Jesus is the “melodic line.” Jesus is that central theme. All of it points us back to Jesus. In this episode, we are digging into how Scripture clearly predicts, prepares for, reflects or results from the person and work of Jesus.

There is a New Testament because of Jesus. Without His coming to earth, we could still be in the years of silence, waiting for Christ to return and save us from our sins. The fact there is a NEW testament from God means that He has already fulfilled something HUGE He promised! Join us as we break down this half of the Bible and what it contains!  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!

There are 400 years between the Old and New Testament. Why did God stop speaking to His people during this time? How did the time change the Israelite people for the coming Messiah? Where the Old Testament leaves off makes it feel very separate from the New, and understanding these 400 years makes the different cultural and political scene make more sense.  Join us as we discuss this time between testaments!  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!

If you've been intimidated by the Old Testament, this is the episode for you!

This is a condensed version, but there is SO much to learn about God and His character through this section of His Word.  Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!

Jill and Grizz chat about the importance of Bible literacy: what it is, when it became important to them personally, and ways you can grow in it! This episode is a must for anyone wondering, “What's the point in knowing the Bible??” Join us on Instagram @ohheytruth Donate to our ministry on Patreon!

The Bible is made up of many books by many different authors, but did you know that Bible is ONE BIG STORY from beginning to end?! It is so important that we approach scripture as ONE BIG STORY as we read it and study it. Why?! Well, join Jill and Grizz as they talk through the different elements of this story and why it matters for us!!

Last week, we talked about how we know Scripture is infallible and inerrant, and why that matters! We talked about how to explain the apologetics of the Bible. This week we are talking about how trusting scripture affects the way you read and understand it! Join us to talk about if scripture is still relevant today, if it's okay to pick and choose what scripture we obey, and about the power that scripture has in our lives. 

Is the Bible something that I can trust as Truth? We claim that it is the absolute Word of God. That He spoke to us through His Word. That we can know Him through the words written in Scripture. Tune in to the first part of how we know we can trust the Bible so that you can be confident to stand on the Word of God!

Since the beginning of Oh Hey Truth we have wanted to equip women to know God more by teaching them to rightly handle the Word of God; how to read it in context, how to study the bible, how to be confident in the Word. But how we do that over a podcast has always been the big question and a BIG thing to tackle. But this year we are taking it on!

"Joy to the world! The Lord is come- Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing."  We sing these lines every Christmas but what do they mean? How did Christ bring joy to the world? How did a baby, born in a manger, change everything? How are you receiving Jesus as King of your life this season? Jill and Annabel get together to discuss joy and what this fruit of the Spirit means in our lives as believers!  Follow us on Instagram @ohheytruth  Consider supporting us and gaining exclusive content on our Patreon!

One of the hallmarks of the Christmas story is when the angels appear to the shepherds and proclaim, “Peace on Earth,” in Luke 2:14. By coming to the earth, Jesus took on our conflict so that we could have peace. A world of total peace is a world without sickness, shame, where relationships are stable, where there is no war, death, or conflict. It is what we will receive in heaven. Let us praise Jesus for the GOOD that He is and trust Him with everything! God has made the peace we long for available through Christ. A gift.

The hope of the people of God is not merely a desire or wish. It is a confidence rooted in God's promise and God's faithfulness. It is a trust that is rooted in Christ's trustworthiness and the certainty of His wonderful plan for us. Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I'm going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am” John 14:1-3.

Identity. Who you are. Our identity is in something. All of us. It says a lot about who we are and what our priorities are and what we do with our time and talents.

Anxiety. Sometimes it isn't an easy topic to talk about, and sometimes people talk about it casually without really understanding it. How does the world define it? How does Scripture define it?

"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." Titus 2:3-5

Are you willing to be bold to stand up for what is TRUE even if it costs you greatly!? Grizz and Jill finish up our Beatitudes study talking about verses 10-12! What a great summer studying the words of Jesus!

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. The first thing we learn from this beatitude is that Jesus is concerned with our heart. It is not enough to clean up our act on the outside. We must have a change of heart. What does that look like and how do we do that? Join Jill, Annabel, and Grizz on this weeks episode to talk about the pure in heart!

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. What does it mean to be merciful?
