In this second lesson of Advent, the Big Bethel A.M.E. Church Intergenerational Sunday School Podcast reflects on the manger—an ordinary, humble place that became the setting for something extraordinary.

Together, we explore what the manger teaches us about God’s presence, purpose, and protection, especially when life feels unfinished or unclear. Through Scripture, reflection, and shared conversation, we’re reminded that what may look like randomness is often part of a greater design—and that God’s “no” or “not right now” can be an act of loving protection.

Each session concludes with open discussion and testimony, creating space for questions, stories, and intergenerational learning. Whether you’re listening from home or considering joining us in person, you’re invited into the conversation.

Come learn with us—and see how God works even in what we don’t yet understand.

In this special Advent episode of the Intergenerational Sunday School Podcast, we explore the Christmas story through the remarkable intersection of Scripture and science. Today we turn our attention to the Wise Men—highly educated scholars of the ancient world—and the astronomical events that led them on their historic journey to Bethlehem.

Far from following myth or superstition, the Wise Men were responding to real, verifiable celestial phenomena that we can still study and confirm today. This episode walks through those events, explains why these scholars interpreted the signs as pointing to a newborn King in Israel, and demonstrates how the night sky itself affirms the reliability of God’s Word.

Throughout the Advent season, our purpose is clear: to strengthen our faith in the validity, truth, and trustworthiness of Scripture.

What we believe is not a fairytale. Not Harry Potter. Not a story crafted to soothe emotions.

It is truth—historical, spiritual, and beautifully consistent with the world God created.

Join us as we journey through the heavens, deepen our understanding of the Christmas story, and prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ.

Hosted by scientist and Sunday School superintendent Khamisi Walters, this podcast blends biblical teaching with scientific insight to deepen your understanding of God’s creation.

Today’s episode explores the Gloria Patri, the Cyclic Universe, and why ‘as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be’ still speaks powerfully to our faith.
