The Faith Explained with Cale Clarke - Learning the Catholic Faith

The 10 plagues continue to pummel the Egyptians, but Pharaoh continues his two-faced, duplicitous ways. We also see how each plague is a direct attack by Yahweh on one of the so-called “gods” of Egypt.

Moses, unbelievably, gives Pharaoh the choice of when the plague of frogs will end. It’s up to him! We also have a choice to be for or against God. St. Augustine says, “The God who created you without you will not save you without you”.

Cale dips into the 10 plagues that God unleashes on the Egyptians. The first two have to do with water. Aaron’s staff turns into a great sea monster, and Moses commands that the Nile be turned into blood.  What’s Pharaoh’s reaction? Find out in this episode of the Faith Explained.

In this episode of the Exodus series on The Faith Explained, God says to Moses: “In the past, I revealed myself as ‘God Almighty’ to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ”But now, in revealing himself as the God who 'is' and 'will be', God reveals much more about himself—that he’s with us in the present moment, and in the challenges and experiences of everyday life.

God picks Moses back up after he falls flat on his face with Pharaoh. Not only does Pharaoh not “let God’s people go”, things got even worse for the enslaved Israelites. Find out what God does in response, on this episode of The Faith Explained with Cale Clarke!

On this episode of the Exodus series on The Faith Explained, Moses begins his journey back to Egypt to confront Pharaoh. But on the way, God confronts Moses and tries to kill him! Why on earth would God do this? Ultimately, Moses is saved by the quick thinking and actions of his wife, Zipporah.

God calls Moses to go and speak to Pharaoh. Moses doesn't want to go, and asks God to send someone else. Sometimes we feel the same way, but there are people only we can reach and God will equip us like he equipped Moses.

What’s in a name? What’s in a divine name? There are numerous names for God in the Old Testament, including Yahweh, Jehovah, and the Lord. Where do these come from? It’s all connected to how God reveals Himself in chapter 3 of Genesis. Cale discusses this and more in this episode of the Exodus series on the Faith Explained.

God steps onto the “stage” of Exodus and reveals himself to Moses in the wilderness. Moses is charged with leading Israel out of bondage, but suffers from “imposter syndrome”, doubting he’s up for the task. God’s response: “I will be with you.” What more could one ask for?

Moses appears on the scene in a tale of failed leadership, violence, and murder. He must go to the wilderness to find salvation. He becomes a savior for the very first time, but it won’t be the last.

In most heroes' journeys, they go from rags to riches, but Moses goes from being on top of the world and from being in Pharaoh's palace to abject poverty out in the wilderness. He must become like his fellow Hebrews. He must become like a slave to lead the slaves out of bondage. 

God's power was certainly manifest in the life of Moses. In this episode of The Faith Explained, we see how Moses is saved through water, not in a basket, but in an ark, which prefigures how he leads God's people to salvation through the Red Sea.

On today’s Faith Explained, Cale begins to take a look at the text of Exodus. God has to establish who He is because to His people, He is the God who wasn’t there. Why are they in slavery, and why hasn’t God answered them? Why is God not acting in their lives as He did in the lives of the patriarchs? God has to reveal who He is and who Moses is.

Cale looks at the question of who wrote the Book of Exodus. Was it Moses or just traditions derived from Moses, or does it even matter, because isn’t it true that God Himself is the author of Scripture? Cale discusses this and what kind of history Exodus is.
