In this thought-provoking episode, Walton explains his “cultural rivers” metaphor—how each culture swims in its own current of values, assumptions, and logic. We can't read the Bible through modern, Western eyes without missing what mattered most to ancient audiences. Genesis, for example, isn't about material origins but about God bringing order to a disordered world. From Genesis 1–11, which Walton calls a unified pursuit-of-order narrative, to covenant as God's chosen method of establishing order in Israel, this episode reshapes how we think about law, sin, impurity, and even concepts like raʿ (evil). Walton shows how words like shalom, menucha, and tov are all part of a spectrum of order—not morality. He also addresses how Jesus and Paul recontextualize the Torah, why Exodus opens with a surprising parade of female heroes, and how poetry preserves communal memory in songs like Exodus 15. Whether you're new to Walton's “Lost World” series or a longtime reader, this episode offers fresh insight into how Scripture's deepest themes emerge from its ancient context.

Do you long to have those kind of life changing encounters with God not just in the Gospels, but also in books like Number and Exodus? Today we are going to discuss why we can't seem to vividly encounter God in so much of the Old Testament. We'll chronicle the massive changes that occurred in how Christians read the Bible over the past 300 years, changes that ultimately disconnected Scripture from the life of the church.

For the past four years, we've embarked on a deep, chapter-by-chapter exploration of prophetic texts often overlooked by many readers—from the twelve minor prophets to the reformers Ezra and Nehemiah, and the major prophet Ezekiel. Now, we are embarking on a one-year sprint through the foundational texts of our faith: the first five books of the Bible, the Torah.This series is structured around the Jewish reading cycle. According to Jewish tradition, some 2,500 years ago, Ezra the Scribe established an annual reading schedule that divides the Torah—the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—into 54 weekly portions. In Hebrew, those portions are called parashot. By following this centuries-old calendar, we will complete the entire Torah in one year. This isn't just a reading plan; it's an invitation to join an ancient and ongoing Bible Reading Challenge. I hope to build a bridge between the Bible conversations happening around Christian tables on Sunday lunches and the Shabbat tables of our Jewish friends and neighbors.Support the show

Amazingly, Laurel says that The Book of Life podcast actually impacted her writing! In a 2017 blog article she credited our first podcast conversation as a turning point in her career. She said “Heidi asked me, reasonably, what made my book Jewish, and I found I didn't have an answer for her…. She could not possibly have known, when she asked me that question a decade ago, what journey she was sending me on. The power of the right question is a mighty thing.” Laurel has gone on to win the 2014 Sydney Taylor Book Award gold medal for her Exodus picture book The Longest Night, and a 2024 bronze for a middle grade fantasy, The Witch of Woodland. This year she's published The Book of Candles: Eight Poems for Hanukkah.

In this episode we interview Reverend Darren who is a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA in Wisconsin.  This conversation started as a text and google doc exchange around the story of Amalek within the Old Testament of the Christian Bible and the Tanakh, or the Hebrew Bible. We talk about how we should understand the relationship between these biblical stories and documented history, their relationship to the Gaza genocide, and how we might fit our analyses of these narratives into the relationship between US imperialism and zionism. Along the way, Darren engages with questions of faith practice, the relative absence - and silence - of particularly Euro-American liberal Christian congregations among those standing in defense of Palestinian lives, and Palestinian sovereignty. Darren also discusses how the gears of US fascism - called for in documents like Project 2025 and Project Esther, and being enacted through the Trump administration - are being lubricated by the absurd and ethically vacuous nature of US liberalism.  A couple things to mention, this conversation was recorded 10 days ago, so the 8th year anniversary episode we mentioned is currently out on our YouTube channel. In addition to reflections from Josh and myself, it featured special appearances from Stefano Harney, Renee Johnston, Fred Moten, Sina Rahmani, and Lara Sheehi This episode was also recorded before the 2nd anniversary of Tufan Al Aqsa and before the ceasefire agreement. We have episodes on the YouTube channel about those developments as well, one putting Abdaljawad Omar and Lara Sheehi in conversation together and the other with Nora Barrows-Friedman from Electronic Intifada and Sina Rahmani from the East is a Podcast.

In this week's sermon from Mercy Culture Austin, Pastor Seth Morrow teaches from Mark 2:23–28 and Exodus 20 to show that the Sabbath is a gift made for us, not against us. In the Year of Radical Love, Pastor Seth shares six reasons God gave the Sabbath and offers practical ways to keep it holy: prepare, truly rest, reflect, and listen for God's voice. This message invites you to let Jesus be Lord of your Sabbath and trade striving for His rest.

Spencer Davis | Be StrongIn this message, Spencer Davis explores the many facets of the atonement, showing why one metaphor isn't enough to explain what Christ did for us. From Exodus 12 to the Upper Room, we see how Jesus intentionally aligned His death with the Passover, becoming the final, perfect sacrifice. The weight of the Passover meal, the timing of His crucifixion, and the fulfillment of centuries of symbolism all point to one truth: no more lambs are needed. Jesus paid it all, once and for all.Be Strong Men's ConferenceExodus 12Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith. Click here to get our Colossians Bible study.

As Christians, we know we're called to help the poor, but the real question is how.  In this episode of Abraham's Wallet, we sit down with Justin Wolfenburg to unpack what the Bible really says about charity. Who are we supposed to help? How should we help them? And how does true, biblical giving restore dignity and responsibility instead of destroying it? Tune in for a challenging conversation that will flip your view of charity upside down and give you a clearer vision for Kingdom-centered generosity.

The Book of Exodus

How do you respond to being thirsty? It's one thing to be "hangry"- angry over not eating- we saw that last week in Exodus 16. And we did see thirst already in Exodus 15. The people grumbled in both cases. Now thirst comes back and the people not only grumble, but they take it up a notch and quarrel with Moses. This story is really about what happens when we suffer trials- when God tests us. Come this week to see how the Israelites respond and how it relates to us today. Exodus 17:1-7.

How Can We Be Born Again? Through the One Raised from the Dead. MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today, we delve into the profound mystery of the Holy Spirit and its vital role in our Christian walk. We're reminded that it's not just about having the Holy Spirit, but allowing the Spirit to have us - to lead and guide our lives. The message emphasizes three key sins against the Holy Spirit: grieving, quenching, and blaspheming. When we choose bitterness over love, or hold onto unforgiveness, we grieve the Spirit. Every time we sin, we quench the Spirit's flow in our lives. Yet, there's hope in confession, which reopens the floodgates of the Spirit's presence. This teaching challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we truly yielding to the Spirit's guidance? Are we living holy lives that honor God? It's a call to deeper surrender and a reminder of our constant need for the Spirit's empowering presence in our faith journey.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be a complainer (Philippians 2:14). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 1 Thessalonians 5:19; John 14:19; John 8:51; John 11:25; Exodus 3:14; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 Peter 3:20 A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

What truly makes people change? Is it a life event, a motivational moment, or something deeper? In this message from 1 Samuel 3, we explore one of the most pivotal moments in Israel's history—the calling of Samuel—and uncover a timeless truth about transformation that still speaks today. At a time when “the word of the Lord was rare,” Israel had grown spiritually blind. Eli, the high priest, and his sons had corrupted their sacred calling, and God's voice had grown silent. But into this silence, God calls a young boy named Samuel—a boy who didn't yet know the Lord but was ready to listen. Through Samuel's story, we see how renewal begins when someone chooses to hear and obey God's Word. As the Lord calls Samuel by name again and again, the boy learns that change doesn't come from emotion, environment, or effort—it comes from revelation. It's the moment when the heart says, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” From that day forward, God's Word—once rare—became constant and alive through Samuel's life, marking the beginning of a new era for Israel. This message reminds us that true spiritual change doesn't start with self-improvement but with surrender. When the Word of God becomes present and consistent in your life, everything begins to shift. If the Word is rare, transformation will be rare—but when it's central, you'll see God reshape your heart, your home, and your future.

Friends, when something tragic happens and people offer their prayers, you'll often hear now, “I've had it with thoughts and prayers. We have to act.” In some extreme cases, people of prayer are mocked, as though prayer is just something completely ineffectual that we should leave behind in favor of action. We're the first generation in recorded human history ever to feel this way. Human beings, across cultures, have always believed in the power and efficacy of prayer. Our first reading this week from Exodus 17 beautifully displays this power—and the fact that prayer, far from undermining action, sustains and supports it. 

(Exodus 2:23-25) God hears the groans of the People of Israel, and is moved to action. We discuss what the implications are of this passage, and what it means for our ideas of how God works.

Hannah Benson reminds us that even in seasons of deep heartache, God is near. Drawing on Psalm 34:18, this devotional illustrates how God gently removes our illusions of control and calls us to surrender, trusting Him through grief, loss, and uncertainty. In doing so, He transforms our pain into opportunities for growth and deepened faith. Highlights God draws near to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit. Painful loss and heartache can reveal areas of life where God desires greater trust and surrender. Surrendering to God, even amid fear and uncertainty, allows His grace and peace to work within us. Life’s trials can deepen intimacy with God, helping us lean on Him instead of our own control. Scripture reassures that Jesus remains constant and faithful, even when our hearts hurt (Hebrews 13:8). Join the Conversation How has God been present in your seasons of loss or heartache? Are you allowing Him to transform your pain into trust and growth?

The Book of Exodus

Text: Exodus 2:10–25Speaker: Pastor Tommy OrlandoThe story of Exodus is more than ancient history—it's a living picture of our spiritual journey. In this message, Pastor Tommy unpacks how Moses' early life reveals both the futility of human deliverance and the power of divine redemption.When Moses acted in his own strength, nothing changed. But when God knew—when He heard, remembered, saw, and entered into His people's suffering—redemption began to unfold.God still hears. God still remembers. God still knows.

Exodus 4: 18 - 31

Daily Dose of Hope October 14, 2025   Scripture – John 6:25-55   Prayer:  Holy God, We come before you today with such gratefulness.  You are a good God and you love us so very much.  Thank you, Lord.  Help us seek holiness. Help us set aside our worldly distractions and focus on you today, Jesus.  In your name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional/podcast that goes along with New Hope Church's daily Bible reading plan.  As most of you know, we are in the middle of a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are finishing John 6.   We mentioned this briefly in yesterday's devotional - the people have come looking for Jesus.  They don't know how he got across the lake but when they discover where he is, they go seeking him. They want more food!  Honestly, we can't blame them.  They were very hungry people.  But Jesus can see in their hearts.  He knows that they need so much more than physical sustenance.    Jesus tries to explain that what he offers is better than the manna that God provided Moses and the people in the wilderness.  He offers the bread of life.  Not surprisingly, this doesn't make a lot of sense to them.  Of course they want this bread.  It sounds amazing.  To never be hungry would be a huge thing to this group.    But Jesus knows that this group of people isn't quite ready for what he really means by bread of life.  They aren't ready to understand the kind of salvation that Jesus offers.  They can't quite get it that Jesus, as manna, is the true source of life.  And the theme of Jesus as manna from heaven continues through the chapter.   Here is where things start to get hard.  Some of the Jews in the crowd start grumbling.  “Isn't this Jesus, Joseph's son?” they ask.  How could he be from heaven?  The grumbling is possibly intended to echo the grumbling of the Israelites in the Exodus story.  They have experienced God's salvation – it's right in front of them – but they don't fully trust in God's provision.   Jesus is different from manna in an important way through.  The ancestors died in the wilderness but those who eat Jesus' bread do not die.  Jesus as manna is redeeming the sin of the previous generations of God's people.  Jesus is providing nourishment that endures and saves.   But this was really hard teaching.  Many people stopped following Jesus.  I think this is a good lesson for us.  When we get discouraged because people we know and care about refuse to follow Jesus, we can think about all the people who had Jesus directly in front of them and they still did not believe.  Flesh and blood Jesus Christ walked among them and they walked away.    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

As the Israelites journey through the wilderness, God goes with them. Listen as Pastor Steve continues our dive into the book of Exodus, focusing on the tabernacle and ways God continues to reintroduce Himself to His people after their time in Egypt.

This week, Pastor Kim Hoyt brings a powerful follow-up to Run Your Race with a message called “What's In Your Hand?” From Moses' staff in Exodus 4 to the moments we hold on too tightly in our own lives, Pastor Kim reminds us that God never asks for what we don't have—He asks for what we're already holding.When we surrender what's in our hand, God releases what's in His.

Lindsey Blair and Bobby Gilles recap Pastor Travis McGowen's sermon from Exodus 12.

As the book of Exodus opens, the Israelites find themselves in a predicament in Egypt. Once seen as a blessing by the Egyptian people and Pharoah, they are now feared as a blight, because their small group of immigrants has mushroomed into a nation which outnumbers the Egyptians themselves. As a result, a new Pharoah makes a ruling that all male babies born to Hebrew women should be drowned in the Nile. But Pharoah did not know that the two midwives who oversaw those childbirths had other ideas!

Have you ever read a Bible passage so strange you wondered why it was even there?Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul unpacks one of Scripture's most puzzling stories—when God sought to kill Moses in Exodus 4—and shows how this shocking moment reveals both God's holy requirements and his gracious provision through Jesus Christ.

Pastor Micah Stephens dives into Ephesians 6 as part of the anchored reading program, urging parents to disciple their children with a biblical worldview amid cultural darkness. Drawing from personal anecdotes like navigating family life with multiple kids and deciding against Halloween participation in favor of a worship night, he emphasizes shaping kids' views on God, humanity, truth, knowledge, and ethics to combat teenage apostasy. Through humor, like recalling the 1970s PSA "It's 10 p.m., do you know where your children are?" and cultural nods to Captain America, Stephens calls for intentional parenting that models repentance and prioritizes eternal kingdom value over worldly fun, aligning with the church's mission of applying Scripture to engage and transform society.Reference VersesEphesians 6 verses 1-4, Genesis 1 verse 1, Genesis 1 verse 27, Colossians 1 verses 16-17, Psalm 14 verse 1, 2 Corinthians 6 verses 14-16, Exodus 20 verse 12, Romans 3 verse 23, Psalm 8 verse 4, Psalm 139 verse 14, John 14 verse 6, John 17 verse 17, 2 Timothy 3 verse 16, Proverbs 1 verse 7, Colossians 2 verse 3, Romans 1 verse 20, Micah 6 verse 8, Isaiah 5 verse 20, Hebrews 13 verse 8, Deuteronomy 6 verses 4-9Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information! https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Sometimes you pray... and nothing happens. You’re asking for something good, but God isn’t budging. What’s happening? You might be wrestling with God.Maybe He’s been leading you to do something—and you’ve resisted... You won’t let Him into that one area of your life. You won’t break off that relationship that drains you spiritually. You won’t give up that habit that drags you down. You’re afraid to take that step of faith.Remember Jonah? God said, “Go.” Jonah said, “No.” And God said, “Oh?”If that’s you—you’re not alone. Even Jacob wrestled with God. His struggle began with resisting and ended with resting. He stopped fighting and started clinging—saying, “I will not let You go until You bless me.” Pastor Greg Laurie shares more in this message. Notes: Focus verse - Genesis 32 God’s plans are better than ours. Have you ever prayed and prayed for something, and no answer came? The Bible urges us to bring our needs to God.Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) Wrestling with God is not necessarily a bad thing. “My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."—Abraham Lincoln Hosea 12:3 (NLT)Even in the womb, Jacob struggled with his brother; when he became a man, he even fought with God. Hosea 12:4 (NLT)Yes, he wrestled with the angel and won. He wept and pleaded for a blessing from him. There at Bethel he met God face to face, and God spoke to him. Jesus is the Passover lamb in Exodus; in Numbers, He is the bronze serpent lifted up. A Christophany is an appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament. Jacob was wrestling with Jesus Himself. Genesis 25:23 (NKJV)And the LORD said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, …And the older shall serve the younger." Psalm 139:14,16 The meaning of Jacob’s name isheel-catcher, contender, supplanter, grabber. God does not just see you for what you are, but for what you can become. God sees things differently than we do.We see failure, God sees potential.We see the past, God sees the future.We see sin, God sees restoration. Time showed that Jacob was a righteous manand Esau was an ungodly man. It’s not about how we start this race in life but how we finish it. It was not an easy road for Jacob, and that was his own fault. Hebrews 12:16 (NLT)Make sure that no one is immoral or godless like Esau, who traded his birthright as the firstborn son for a single meal. When we get tired of praying, we start scheming, and we make a mess of things. Rebecca sent Jacob to visit her brother, Laban.On the way there, Jacob had an encounter with God. All Jacob had to do was wait on God’s timing. Jacob met his match in his uncle Laban.The trickster met the trickster extraordinaire. We reap what we sow. Christians should try to live in peace with people.Romans 12:18 God meets us at whatever level He finds usand lifts us to where He wants us to be. God will come to you in just the right way.Hebrews 4:16 Read Genesis 32:24–30 Jacob was wrestling with Jesus Christ. We need to get away from all the distractions of life and get alone with God. When you get to the end of yourself, you get to the beginning of God. Now, instead of fighting with God, Jacob is clinging to Him. In surrender to God’s plan, Jacob found what he always wanted,the very blessing he asked God for. We win by losing.Luke 17:33 Genesis 32:28 (NLT)"Your name will no longer be Jacob," the man told him. "From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won." "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."—Corrie Ten Boom Are you running from God?The good news is God is running to you.
