Gabriel Showed Up. Zechariah Panicked. Same.

Before we judge Zechariah for doubting an angel, let’s remember: he was just trying to do his priestly job: burn some incense, say some prayers, and not die in the Holy Place. In this episode, we step behind the curtain (pun intended) to explore what temple duty meant for a priest like Zechariah. We’ll unpack how the priesthood worked, why offering incense was a once-in-a-lifetime honor, and what it meant that Gabriel showed up right there in the middle of it all. Spoiler: God chose this exact moment, after 400 years of prophetic silence, to break the quiet, and Zechariah’s disbelief bought him a holy mute button. 

By the end, you’ll see that this isn’t just a story about a speechless priest; it’s a story about a God who never stops speaking, even when we’ve forgotten how to listen.

I like teaching women about Jesus and my puns intended.

What is Talk Bible To Me?

Context is our love language.

Talk Bible to Me is where two women who actually love the text walk you through the story behind the story. Kayla Wolfe (B.S. in Bible & Theology, Liberty University) and Megan Rawlings (PhD student in Biblical Studies, Amridge University) mix big-sister warmth with scholar-level clarity. Think laughter with footnotes.

Each episode zooms in and gives you the who (author & audience), the when/where (historical setting), the how (literary flow & key terms), and the why (gospel connections), so application flows from accurate interpretation. Expect wit without snark, reverence without stuffiness, and the occasional nod to your favorite scholars and theologians. Bring your Bible and your questions; we’ll bring the maps, the timelines, and just enough Hebrew & Greek to be precise without being pretentious. Press play and level up your Bible reading.
