In this episode, we transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament for a while, starting with the Gospel of Luke. We explore why Luke's Gospel exists and what makes it unique.
Luke stands out for his emphasis on Gentiles, the marginalized, and his detailed storytelling. Join us as we look at how Luke's narrative sets the stage for the international spread of Christianity, Luke's portrayal of the Kingdom of God, and his focus on individual responses to Jesus' message.

In this episode, we explore an easy-to-overlook scene from Exodus 24 where Moses, Aaron, and 70 elders of Israel dine with God on Mount Sinai.

In this episode, we examine two seemingly disconnected stories: the Amalekites' attack on Israel, and the Midianite Jethro's arrival with wise counsel.
Join as we see how these stories show God's desires for humanity, how humanity responds, and what it means to know God. And if you have a bit of the Bible that makes you wonder, email whatintheword@tuta.com and we'll try to cover it.
 

In this episode, we explore Exodus 12, a chapter that disrupts the thrilling narrative of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt with detailed instructions about the Passover meal.
Why does the story pause here? It's all about the importance of the Passover for the Israelites: and for us.
Join us as we look at this "interruption" of the Exodus narrative. And if you have a bit of the Bible that makes you wonder, email whatintheword@tuta.com and we'll try to cover it.

In this episode, we explore the role of Pharaoh's magicians. While their appearance is brief, it serves a critical comedic and theological purpose. The narrative dismisses the magicians to illustrate their impotence and the absence of any real Egyptian gods.
We also discuss how the magicians' fate contrasts with Moses and Aaron's significant roles. Join us as we see how association with the true God brings genuine honor and power.
