Everything in Exodus has been building to this. Nine plagues, nine opportunities for Pharaoh to repent — and now the final warning is delivered. At midnight, God will pass through the land of Egypt. Every firstborn will die. Except where the blood of the lamb is on the doorpost. In this pivotal episode, we arrive at what many Church Fathers called the pinnacle of the entire Old Testament — and arg...

Two plagues remain before the final, devastating blow — and Pharaoh is playing his last cards. As locusts devour what the hail has spared, and a palpable, tangible darkness covers Egypt for three days (while Israel has light in their homes), we watch Pharaoh offer Moses one compromise after another. You can go — but not far. Just the men. Take your children, but leave the livestock. Not a hoof, Mo...

We apologise for the poor quality of sound as we had technical problems with Mina's microphone. All will be back to normal next episode. ----- Plagues five, six, and seven arrive — and with them, an escalation that takes the breath away. Disease destroys Egypt's livestock. Boils break out on the skin of every Egyptian. Then fire and hail fall from the sky in a storm unlike anything Egypt h...

The plagues have begun. Water turns to blood. Frogs cover the land. Gnats rise from the dust. Flies swarm everywhere. But to the ancient Egyptians, these weren't just natural disasters — they were a direct theological confrontation. Each plague targeted a specific deity in Egypt's elaborate pantheon, and one by one, those gods were shown to be powerless. This episode dives deep into the first four...

Moses went to Pharaoh. He delivered the message. He asked for three days in the desert to worship God. And Pharaoh's response? He took away the straw and doubled the quota. Following God doesn't always make life easier — at least not straight away. The Israelites, whose hopes had been raised, now find themselves in a worse situation than before. They turn on Moses. Moses turns on God. And...

God has just revealed himself. He's given Moses his name. He's promised liberation for millions of enslaved people. And Moses' response? "But what if they don't believe me?" Exodus chapter 4 is a masterclass in how God meets human insecurity. Moses raises objection after objection — and each time, God quietly, patiently answers. A staff becomes a serpent. A hand becomes l...

Moses is 80 years old, tending sheep that aren't even his, somewhere at the back of the desert. He hasn't built an empire. He hasn't saved his people. By every worldly measure, his life is a failure. And then — a bush catches fire. And doesn't burn up. This is one of the most celebrated theophanies in all of Scripture, and it contains more theology than most of us will ever fully e...

A mother who refuses to give up. A basket sealed with pitch, placed on the Nile's wild waters. A baby who should have drowned — but didn't. Exodus 2 is a chapter of extraordinary women and a God who loves to work through the least expected circumstances. Moses' mother acts out of pure faith, doing the only thing she can and trusting God with the rest. Miriam watches. Pharaoh's own...

It begins with a simple observation that carries the weight of the entire book: the more the Egyptians afflicted the children of Israel, the more they multiplied. Pharaoh — threatened by a people he no longer understands — tightens his grip. Slaves. Taskmasters. Bricks without straw. And then something worse: an order to the midwives to kill every Hebrew boy at birth. But the midwives feared God....

Season 2 begins — and we could not have asked for a better guide to open it. In this special introduction to the Book of Exodus, we are joined by HE Archbishop Angaelos of the Diocese of London, whose wisdom and pastoral heart have inspired so many of us over the years. We are deeply honoured to have him with us. The Book of Exodus is not just ancient history. It is the story of our lives. The chi...

After a full season journeying through the Book of Genesis — from the first words of creation to the final chapters of Joseph's story — we gather in this conclusion episode to step back and ask: What has God been showing us all along?

In this episode, we conclude the book of Genesis as Jacob blesses his sons with prophetic words that echo far beyond their time.
