Mr. Truman joins Tiny Theologians for Day 3 of the Jesse Tree to tell one of the Bible's most unforgettable stories—Noah and the flood. With the olive-branch ornament in hand, he walks through Genesis 6–9 and shows how, even as sin filled the world, God preserved one man who walked with Him. God protected Noah and his family inside the ark during the great storm, and when the waters began to recede, a dove returned with a fresh olive branch—signaling new life and a new beginning. God then made a covenant never again to destroy the earth with a flood, setting a rainbow in the sky as a sign of His promise. The ark points us to Jesus—the true and better ark—who rescues us from judgment and brings us safely through the waters of sin and death. And the olive branch reminds us that Jesus gives us lasting peace with God.All season long, we're walking through the Jesse Tree—25 days of tracing the big story of the Bible from Creation to the birth of Jesus. Each day, we'll look at a new “Christ type” in Scripture, hang a new ornament, and see how every part of God's Word points us to Jesus.

Tory and TJ continue the Advent journey by looking at one of the saddest moments in God's big story—the Fall. With the apple ornament in hand, they explore Genesis 3 and learn how sin first entered the world when Adam and Eve chose their own way instead of God's way. But even in the middle of their disobedience, God made a promise: Someone would come to defeat the serpent and rescue His people. That Someone is Jesus—the true and better Adam—who would obey perfectly, resist temptation, and bring life where Adam brought death. The Fall isn't the end of the story; it's the beginning of God's great rescue plan.All season long, we're walking through the Jesse Tree—25 days of tracing the big story of the Bible from Creation to the birth of Jesus.

Tory and TJ kick off the Advent season by starting at the very beginning of God's big story—the creation of the world! With the moon-and-stars ornament in hand, they explore Genesis 1 and discover how everything God made points us to Jesus — the true Light of the world and the very Word of God. Jesus was present at Creation and would one day step into His own creation to rescue us.All season long, we're walking through the Jesse Tree—25 days of tracing the big story of the Bible from Creation to the birth of Jesus.

From the Fields to the Throne - David's story is a powerful reminder that even though he became Israel's greatest king, he was never meant to be the ultimate King. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, David defeated the EVIL WITHOUT—standing boldly before Goliath and the Philistines. But years later, on a quiet rooftop in Jerusalem, he was confronted by the EVIL WITHIN—the internal enemies of pride, lust, and self-reliance. As “a man after God's own heart,” David's victories and failures reveal three truths we desperately need today: 1. When David relied on the Holy Spirit, he could defeat both the EVIL WITHOUT and the EVIL WITHIN. When he didn't, he fell hard. 2. Despite deep failure, David always returned to God through confession and repentance - And you can too! 3. God's promises never fail. His promise to send a King through David's line was fulfilled in Jesus—the true Shepherd King who conquers sin and evil forever.

Is your sin REALLY that serious? And why does the Old Testament talk so much about animal sacrifices—were they really necessary? In our Jesse Tree Advent series, where we uncover how every story points to Jesus, we're digging into one of the most important (and strangest) holidays in the Bible: Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. We'll unpack the raw reality of sin and death, and then reveal the incredible, world-changing good news: Jesus isn't just a covering for sin; He is the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice. Discover how His work on the cross tears the veil, gives you direct access to God, and means you can finally stop striving and rest in His finished work. In this message we discover: Why God's presence was both good and dangerous Why sacrifices were necessary—and what they taught God's people The powerful symbolism of the two goats What is a scapegoat? How Jesus became both our Great High Priest and our perfect sacrifice Why the tearing of the temple curtain changes everything for you today Why you can stop striving… and rest in Christ's finished work If you've wrestled with guilt, shame, or feeling distant from God, if you've ever worried you're ‘not enough'this message will breathe fresh hope into your soul. Jesus is enough. His sacrifice is enough. And through Him, you have full access to the very presence of God. Let that truth sink deep and set you free today.

Long before Bethlehem. Long before the manger. Long before a cross was ever lifted on a hill, God was already revealing Jesus. In today's Advent message we dig into one of the most powerful foreshadowings of Christ in the entire Old Testament. From God's call to Abraham, to the faith test on Mount Moriah, to the breathtaking moment when “the angel of the Lord” (the pre-incarnate Christ!) speaks from heaven—this story prepares our hearts to see Jesus in a whole new way. This sermon walks through: How Abraham's life foreshadows Jesus's coming and sacrifice The remarkable story of Isaac carrying wood up a mountain (2,000 years before Jesus did the same) How Christophanies (pre-incarnate Christ appearances) reveal Jesus in the Old Testament Why this ancient story matters for your faith TODAY How God's promises extend to you if you've placed your faith in Jesus As continue through The Jesse Tree this Advent season, we trace the family line of Jesus back to its roots—and discover that God's PROMISES, His FAITHFULNESS, and His PROVISION have been pointing to Christ from the very beginning. The Old Testament isn't just ancient history—it's a love letter revealing Jesus. If you need a reminder that God is still at work in your life even when you've messed up, this message will encourage your heart. Abraham's failures didn't disqualify him from God's blessing and neither do yours. God Loves YOU. Where are you seeing Jesus at work in your life this week? Let us know in the comments below! Need to go deeper? Study the Old Testament with eyes to see Jesus—it will transform your faith!
Where are you? God asked Adam and Eve that question in the garden… and He may be whispering it to you right now. We're kicking off Advent by going all the way back to the beginning. Did you know the entire Bible is actually one unified story whispering the same promise on every page? Today we revisit the Fall, not as a story of failure, but as a stunning picture of God's relentless pursuit of His people. Right in the middle of humanity's first rebellion, God plants the first seed of redemption. In Genesis 3, He doesn't walk away. He goes looking. He calls out, “Where are you?” Join us as we uncover the simmering hope woven through the Old Testament, culminating in the glorious gift of our Savior. Don't miss this essential look at how the Advent story begins in Eden. Discover how this ancient moment reframes your faith, your story, and your future. God is pursuing you. And you can trust Him.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!This episode first aired a little over 2 years ago.Eric Sammons joins us for an enlightening conversation about faith, family, and tradition. Offering wisdom from his book "The Jesse Tree," co-authored with his wife, Eric provides a unique perspective on how to engage children in the beauty of salvation history using typology. This approach enriches family faith practices and ensures that faith traditions are effectively passed down to the next generation. Published by Sophia Institute, the new edition of their book promises even greater insights. Our discussion is sprinkled with humor and heartwarming personal stories, making this episode a rich tapestry of Catholic life during the Advent and Christmas seasons.We also explore the nuances of family traditions, from quirky tales about Christmas stockings to the intricate balancing act between holiday celebrations and personal beliefs. Revel in our anecdotes about St. Nick's Day and St. Lucy's Day, and laugh with us over our attempts to navigate the complexities of Amazon's pricing system. The episode also delves into the spiritual aspects of fasting during Advent and Lent, drawing wisdom from the old Divine Office and the Church Fathers, highlighting how these practices foster spiritual growth and community engagement.With a reflection on the value of focusing on local parish life rather than being swept up in global Church news, this episode champions the importance of community-led faith experiences. Our journey through cherished family traditions and holiday memories—complete with hidden baby Jesus figures and thoughtful approaches to Santa Claus—illustrates the profound influence of faith and tradition. Join us as we celebrate the power of storytelling in nurturing a fulfilling, traditional Catholic lifestyle.Support the show********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://shop.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon
