Podcast Summary
In this episode of Between Sundays, David and Obie bring their signature humor and honesty to a wide‑ranging conversation that moves from snowpocalypse prep to major ministry planning at Springfield Baptist Church.
The episode opens with laughs about childhood snow traditions—from butter-and-sugar sandwiches to sledding on the hood of a ’77 Ford LTD—and the chaos of Tennessee snow seasons. But the focus soon turns to something far more significant: the extraordinary season of growth unfolding within the church.

2026-01-2136 minSBC Between SundaysWelcome to 2026: Chaos, Community, and the Book of RuthBetween Sundays — Episode Summary
Hosts: David Evans and O’Bee “Top Gun” O’Bryant open the new year with a chaotic, hilarious back‑and‑forth about racing numbers, unlucky numerology, gently‑used years from the 90s, and the emotional trauma of kids graduating. The banter spirals into stories about birds invading the church building, catching them mid‑air, and a legendary road‑trip goat named “Goatee.” The tone is light, fast, and full of inside‑joke energy before the conversation pivots toward Scripture and pastoral life.

Key Truth:
Revelation 21:3–7 gives us a breathtaking glimpse of God’s ultimate promise: His dwelling place will be with His people forever. Christmas celebrates the beginning of that reality—when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, God came near as Emmanuel. What Revelation looks forward to in fullness began in a manger where heaven touched earth. The birth of Christ signals the start of God’s plan to wipe away every tear, defeat death, and make all things new. The Alpha and Omega stepped into time as a newborn child, assuring us that history is in His hands from beg...
2025-12-2502 minSBC Between SundaysMorning Devotional – December 25 (Scripture: Luke 2:8–14)
Key Truth:
The angel’s announcement to the shepherds was the most important birth announcement in history: “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Jesus’ birth fulfilled centuries of prophecy and revealed God’s faithfulness. He is not just a baby in a manger—He is Savior, Messiah, and Lord. This good news brings hope, peace, and joy to all who believe. God chose humble shepherds to receive this message first, showing that His promise is for everyone, regardless of status. Christmas reminds us that God’s promises are never empty; t...
2025-12-2503 minSBC Between SundaysEvening Devotional – December 24 (Scripture: Luke 1:32–33)
Key Truth:
Gabriel’s announcement to Mary echoes Isaiah’s prophecy: the promised child, the Prince of Peace, was about to enter the world. Jesus would sit on David’s throne—not as a temporary ruler, but as an eternal King whose reign will never end. His kingdom is not limited by geography or time; it is everlasting and brings peace to every heart that welcomes Him. Christmas reminds us that heaven touched earth in that moment, and God’s plan of redemption began to unfold. Jesus is not only King of kings—He is Emmanuel, God with us...
2025-12-2401 minSBC Between SundaysMorning Devotional – December 24 (Scripture: Isaiah 9:6–7)

His names reveal His divine character: Wonderful Counselor for wisdom, Mighty God for power, Everlasting Father for care, and Prince of Peace for reconciliation. His will be vast, prosperous, and eternal, established with justice and righteousness. This promise reminds us that salvation is God’s work, accomplished by His zeal, not human effort. Christmas is the fulfillment of this hope: Jesus Ch...
2025-12-2402 minSBC Between SundaysEvening Devotional – December 23 (Scripture: Matthew 2:1–6)
Key Truth:
The birth of Jesus fulfilled Micah’s prophecy and drew worshippers from afar—but it also troubled those who clung to their own kingdoms. Herod’s fear shows how the righteous reign of Christ threatens worldly power and self-made ideals. Jesus’ identity and mission are unshakable; He is the promised King who will shepherd His people. When we proclaim the truth of Christ, some will rejoice, and others will resist. This passage challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we building our own kingdoms, or submitting to His? God’s ways and thoughts are higher tha...
2025-12-2302 minSBC Between SundaysMorning Devotional – December 23 (Scripture: Micah 5:2)
Key Truth:
Micah’s prophecy points to the birthplace of the Messiah—Bethlehem, a small and humble town. God chose what seemed insignificant to bring forth the greatest King. This ruler’s origins are “from ancient days,” revealing His eternal nature. Jesus is not only a descendant of David but the eternal Son of God. This verse reminds us that God’s promises are certain and His timing perfect. Even in seasons of uncertainty, He is working out His plan for salvation. Christmas declares that God uses the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary.
Reflection Questions:
2025-12-2302 minSBC Between SundaysEvening Devotional – December 22 (Scripture: Luke 1:32–33)
Key Truth:
Gabriel’s words to Mary were more than a birth announcement—they were a declaration of God’s ultimate promise fulfilled in Jesus. First, “He will be great”—not by worldly standards, but in holiness, power, and purpose. Jesus is the greatest because of who He is and what He came to do: rescue the world from sin. Second, “He will be called the Son of the Most High”—affirming His divine nature. Jesus is not merely a prophet or teacher; He is God’s Son, fully divine and fully human. Third, “The Lord will give Him the thro...
2025-12-2202 minSBC Between SundaysMorning Devotional – December 22 (Scripture: Micah 5:2)
Key Truth:
Micah’s prophecy reminds us that God often works through what seems small and insignificant. Bethlehem was an obscure village, yet it became the birthplace of the eternal King. This ruler is not ordinary—His origins are “from ancient days,” pointing to Christ’s divine nature. Christmas shows us that God’s plan does not depend on human strength or status. He delights in using the humble to accomplish His greatest purposes.
Reflection Questions:

Key Truth:
Gabriel’s announcement to Mary fulfilled Jeremiah’s prophecy of a righteous Branch from David’s line. The Messiah was coming—not in royal splendor, but through humble obedience in Nazareth. This moment reminds us that God’s timing is perfect and His ways often defy human expectations. Every name in Jesus’ genealogy, every promise, every generation led to this event: the incarnation of Christ, the King who brings salvation and peace. Mary invites us to trust God even when we cannot see the full picture.
Reflection Question for Families:

Key Truth:
Matthew begins his Gospel with a genealogy to show that Jesus’ birth fulfills God’s promises to Abraham and David. This family tree reminds us that God’s plan has been unfolding through generations, leading to the manger in Bethlehem.

2025-12-2002 minSBC Between SundaysMorning Devotional – December 20 (Scripture: Isaiah 11:1–3a)
Key Truth:
Isaiah’s prophecy promised hope when all seemed lost. From the broken “stump” of Jesse’s family line would come a shoot—a King filled with God’s Spirit, bringing justice, peace, and restoration. This is Jesus, the Messiah, whose birth in Bethlehem began the fulfillment of this promise. Out of brokenness, God brings new life.
Reflection Questions:
What do you think the stump of Jesse represents, and what about the shoot or the branch?

This Advent, we celebrate God’s faithfulness—ancient promises fulfilled in the gift of Jesus at Christmas. Over the next 25 days, unwrap the beauty of Scripture with daily devotions: mornings focused on God’s ancient promises, evenings reflecting on how Christ is their fulfillment. Advent isn’t just about a manger scene—it’s about celebrating a faithful God who keeps His word.
May this season fill your heart with joy, peace, and the reminder that Christmas is the story of promises kept.
Merry Christmas from the SBC staff!
