Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: The Christmas storyIn today's Episode: The Christmas Story Welcome to the final day of the Have More Fun Advent series. I hope the past few weeks have been as meaningful for you as it has for me, as we’ve explored how Jesus shows up in all sorts of unexpected ways. For our last day together, I thought we’d read the most important words I can think to share, from Luke 1:26-38, Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 2:8-21, the story of Jesus coming to earth straight from the source...

Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: A bush in the desertIn today's Episode: A Bush in the Desert There's a plant mentioned in the Bible that is worth looking a little closer at. Here is what it says in Jeremiah 17: This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the LORD. That person will be like a bush in the desert; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one l...2023-12-1605 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Three gifts In today's Episode: Three Gifts Do you ever struggle with the idea of giving gifts at Christmas? Maybe it feels too consumeristic, or like you are missing the real reason for the season? If so, then let’s look at two instances of gift-giving in the Bible. The most famous account we all know about is the presents the Magi brought to Jesus. They brought frankincense, myrrh, and gold (Matthew 2:11), which each held symbolic meaning. Frankincense was used as incense for worship in the Temple; it symbolized that Jesus is the new High Prie...2023-12-1604 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Say yes to great joyIn today's Episode: Say Yes to Great Joy Today, we are going to talk about two central themes of the Christmas story that we don't talk about very often and then explore a challenge that might impact how we enjoy the next few days of celebration. One undeniable thing is that even before His birth, Jesus brought earth-shaking changes to everyone included in His story. Ten months before his birth, an angel appears to his mom, Mary, and says, "Greetings, highly favored one! The Lord is with you." The angel proposes a holy s...2023-12-1604 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: You are chosenIn today's Episode: You are Chosen In 1st century Israel there was a lengthy and very specific process kids would go through to determine their eligibility to study Scripture and be a disciple. It started with Torah school, known as Bet Sefer where boys between 6 and 10 years old started their education. On the first day of class, a rabbi would take honey and put it on the student's fingers where they were encouraged to lick it off as their teacher reminded them to 'taste and see that the Lord is good' and that the words...2023-12-1604 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: The great reversalIn today's episode... The Great Reversal What was it like for God to have His relationship with us cut off? We focus a lot on what sin meant for us, but what about God? He created us and wanted – probably even more than we do – to be in a relationship. But things got messed up in the Garden, and while God tried to maintain connection after Eden, it was never quite the same. Years later, in the wilderness of Sinai, God decided to take a new approach. He commanded Moses to const...2023-12-0804 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: The scapegoatIn today's episode... The Scapegoat There is one reference that I know of in the Bible to underwear, and today we are going to talk about it. It's in the book of Leviticus chapter 16 and it’s in reference to what the High Priest should wear into the Holy of Holies. It says, "This is how Aaron is to enter the Most Holy Place: He must first bring a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. He is to put on the sacred linen tunic, with linen und...2023-12-0805 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: What do you wantIn today's episode... What do you want? Today we’ll talk about one simple concept and then wrap up with an opportunity to contemplate and pray about an important question from Jesus that might make us a little uncomfortable. The question is, ‘What do you want?’ Wanting is a tricky thing isn’t it? Sometimes we’re afraid of wanting the wrong thing. Or we’ve become convinced that wanting is bad or selfish. But what if instead of ignoring our needs or desires, Jesus offers us a better way- inviting us to know and und...2023-12-0804 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Nothing new under the sunIn today's episode... Nothing New Under the Sun There is a verse in Ecclesiastes 1:9 that says: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." In some ways, there is comfort in knowing that when the world feels crazy, we can be assured that what we are navigating has been experienced before. A great example of this is to look at first-century Israel. It was extremely volatile politically, culturally, and religiously. Even if we just look at the Jewish...2023-12-0804 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: The other sideIn today's episode... The Other Side Jesus, in two accounts, miraculously feeds large crowds of people. The first time happens in the “land of the twelve.” It was where devout Jews from the 12 tribes of Israel lived and worshiped God. At the end of this account of feeding thousands, we read that there were twelve baskets full of leftovers, representing that there is enough food to feed all God’s people (Matthew 14:13-21). The second time Jesus fed a large crowd occurred in the Decapolis area east of Galilee, called the “land of the seven...2023-12-0805 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Split in twoIn today's episode... Split in Two As a kid did you ever talk about becoming blood brothers with a friend? Well, the concept comes from an ancient practice where people would "cut a covenant," meaning two people would cut their arms and suck a bit of one another's blood. The mingling of blood was considered a sacred bond and a solemn promise. This is where this whole concept becomes fascinating. In the ancient Middle East and even in some modern societies, when a covenant, like a marriage, is made, the heads of the h...2023-12-0804 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: What has gotten into you?In today's episode... What has Gotten Into You Today we are going to start by reading a story found in Mark 14: "While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages and the money given...2023-12-0807 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Say to the mountainIn this episode... Say to this Mountain In the Christmas story, Herod the Great is best known for his attempt to assassinate the newborn Messiah. After a visit from the Magi, Herod orders all the infant boys under two to be massacred. It’s gruesome, and a result of his extreme paranoia. But one thing we don’t often discuss regarding Herod was that he was also an obsessive builder. During his reign, he was responsible for constructing an impressive artificial harbor at Caesarea Maritima and oversaw the building of Temple Mount as well as Masa...2023-12-0804 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Do you see anythingIn today's episode we talk about "Do You See Anything" Today, we are discussing how Jesus uses spit to heal a man's eyes. Here is how it goes down in Mark 8: When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man's eyes and placed His hands on him. Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" The man looked up and said, "I can see the p...2023-12-0803 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: You already knowIn today's epidode, we're talk about "You Already Know" Today is a little different. We’ll share one quick observation and then offer a practice to expand our Advent experience. Did you know that the disciples only asked Jesus to teach them one thing? They didn’t ask Him how to heal people. Or, to teach them to do something cool like turn water into wine or walk on water. The one thing they asked Jesus to teach them was how to pray. (Luke 11:1-4) Read the full blo...2023-12-0803 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Cover your headIn today's episode we talk about "Cover Your Head" One of the goals of this Advent series is to understand the social and cultural issues happening at the time of Jesus, so today we are going to look at a spicy issue of women showing their hair in church, and it comes out of Paul's letter to the people in Corinth.

Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Even the rocks will cry outIn this episode, we dive into the unexpected ways God has revealed Himself throughout history, focusing on the Oracle of Delphi and the sybils depicted by Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. We explore the intriguing story of the Oracle of Delphi, a priestess who prophesied under the influence of mysterious vapors, and her surprising connection to the prophecy of Christ's coming. Early Christian apologists, including St. Augustine, used these prophecies to demonstrate that even in pagan texts, there were echoes of the coming Messiah. This episode challenges us to recognize that God c...2023-12-0106 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: A shoot from the stump of JesseIn this episode, we dig into the intriguing connection between Jesus, Nazareth, and a prophecy from Isaiah, shedding light on a perplexing passage in Matthew's account of Jesus' life. We explore the historical background of Nazareth, a seemingly insignificant village that emerged just a century before Jesus' birth, yet played a crucial role in fulfilling ancient prophecies. Jesus, growing up in Nazareth, embodies this 'nezer', the new branch sprouting from the lineage of King David, bringing new life and hope. As we explore this fascinating link, we are reminded of the astonishing depth a...2023-12-0104 min
Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: Healing in His wingsIn this inspiring episode, we delve into the powerful story of the bleeding woman from Mark 5 and its deep connections to ancient Jewish customs and prophecy. The episode focuses on the daring act of the bleeding woman who, defying societal norms and legal restrictions, reaches out to touch the corner of Jesus' shawl. This moment of faith and desperation leads to her miraculous healing. We reflect on how Jesus not only heals her physically but also affirms her faith and claims her as His own, calling her 'daughter' – the only person in the New Testament to r...2023-12-0105 min

This Christmas, let's take inspiration from Paul's approach. We'll discuss how to embrace meaningful conversations with friends, family, and acquaintances who hold different beliefs, and how to navigate these discussions with grace, intelligence, and respect.

Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: O Come, O Come, EmmanuelIn this festive episode, we unwrap the profound layers hidden within the classic Christmas hymn, 'O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.' Originating from the monastic traditions of the 8th or 9th century, this hymn has echoed through time, carrying with it a secret message of hope. We delve into the historical context of this hymn, understanding how it served as a meditation on the prophecies of the Messiah during a time of oppression and longing. One of the most captivating parts of our journey is the discovery of a secret code within the h...2023-12-0104 min

Have More Fun with Mandy AriotoAdvent Series: You've been bought with a priceDive into a compelling episode where we explore a fascinating detail from the Bible's book of Romans. Paul, writing from Corinth, sends greetings from three men: Gaius, Erastus, and Quartus. But it's Erastus, the city treasurer, who steals the spotlight. For years, skeptics doubted the truth of Paul's words, questioning how a high-ranking official like Erastus could be among his followers. That skepticism was shattered in 1929 when archaeologists in Corinth uncovered a key piece of evidence proving Erastus' existence and role. This episode delves into the intriguing history of Corinth, including its temple...2023-12-0104 min
