Snow outside, hot chocolate in hand, and a table full of buzzers—this holiday special brings the warmth of family game night to your ears. We kick things off with a quick check-in and a groan-worthy elf joke, then jump into a Bible quiz that moves fast, makes room for mistakes, and celebrates every correct answer. If you like learning through laughter, you’ll feel right at home as we navigate the Sermon on the Mount, biblical languages, and who wrote the most New Testament books, with a playful nod to the Hebrews authorship debate.

Between rounds, we slow down for a compact Advent story: the birth of John the Baptist. Zechariah’s doubt, Gabriel’s authority, and the naming of John bring focus to the season and set the stage for Jesus. It’s a heartfelt reset that reminds us why these stories matter, even while the studio energy stays bright and lively.

We ramp back up with questions on Gospel chronology—Mark likely first, John last—then revisit the creation week to talk about rest as a gift, not a weakness. The lightning round turns competitive in the best way, racing from Abram’s call out of Ur to the renaming to Abraham and the classic curveball of Isaac’s sons. Expect some wrong guesses, quick recoveries, and a satisfying win to close the show. Along the way, you’ll pick up bite-size theology, clear references to Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount, and a simple framework you can use for your own family quiz night.

If you enjoyed the mix of story, trivia, and seasonal joy, tap follow, share the episode with a friend, and leave a quick review to tell us your score. Your support helps more families find a fun, welcoming way to learn Scripture together.

unknown:

Alright.

SPEAKER_05:

Alright. Okay, today we're talking about the story of John the Baptist's birth.

SPEAKER_00:

Right, as we lead up to Christmas. Wait, hold on. We never actually. How many, how many days until Christmas, said Heaven?

SPEAKER_03:

There are nine days until Christmas.

SPEAKER_00:

Fantastic. Alright, so leading up to Christmas, we have to talk about the birth of John the Baptist first.

SPEAKER_05:

John the Baptist was Jesus' cousin. Okay. So basically, Zachariah was married to a woman named Elizabeth. And Zachariah was um in the temple praying on behalf of the people. And an angel came to him and said, You're gonna have a son, and you're gonna name him John. And Zachariah was like, No. What? I my wife's too old, she can't have kids. And the angel goes, No, you're gonna have a son, and because you doubted me, you can't talk until you accept the name that the son is going to have when he is born.

SPEAKER_00:

I this is my favorite part of the story because what the angel says is I feel like it's hilarious because he's like, Why how why should I believe you? Basically, and the angel says, I am Gabriel, I stand in the presence of God, and I have come all the way here to tell you this, and you're gonna question me. My favorite. Wow, yeah, it's just I just love it, it's great.

SPEAKER_05:

So basically, months go by, and Elizabeth gets pregnant, and more months go by, and she has the son, and the people are saying that they're gonna name the son after one of the relatives. I think they say they're gonna name him Zachariah because that's the dad's name. And so Zachariah writes out on a board, no, his name is John, and that's when his mouth is open and he can speak Ailey, that was a great story.
