Can you imagine the fear and courage it took for Moses’ mother to protect her son from the Pharaoh’s cruel decree? In this gripping episode, we traverse through the first chapter of Exodus, charting the despair of the Hebrew people under Pharaoh's tyranny. Juxtaposing the stories of a Vietnam War veteran in Thailand and people trafficked in Cambodia, we paint a vivid picture of a world enslaved, mirroring the Israelites' plight in Egypt. We end the first chapter considering the chilling command of Pharaoh to cast every Hebrew baby boy into the Nile River.
Have you ever felt the transformative power of identity? We delve into Moses' life - from his miraculous birth and adoption by the Pharaoh's daughter to his flight to Midian. Much like Conrad, an adopted son of Ronald Reagan who grew up in the White House, Moses’ life underwent significant changes; from a lavish life in Egypt's royal court to a shepherd in Midian. His life is a testament to God's ability to use imperfect individuals to fulfill divine purposes.
Our journey doesn't end there. We ponder over the power of God's words when he responds to the cries of his people, and how our own response can bring about transformation. We also share the inspiring story of Moses and his mission to spread the gospel in Japan, demonstrating God's profound ability to effect change through ordinary people. We invite you to join us on this journey of understanding the book of Exodus, learning from its profound lessons, and finding inspiration in the courageous and compassionate characters it presents.
