Urban Grace Tacoma

This summer we did a series on Exodus and the struggle for liberation.  On week 5, Moses and the Israelites are finally freed, but Pharaoh's army corners them by the sea. Hidden in the rather confusing narrative is a fascinating discussion of human and divine responsibility in the work of justice and liberation... Check it out. Support the show

This summer we did a series on Exodus and the struggle for liberation. For week 6, the Israelites are finally freed, but once they arrive in Sinai they start complaining about the lack of tasty food and long to be back in Egypt. We explore how the Israelites were shaped by an economy of exploitation, and how God uses food to teach a new way of being in the world... Check it out. Support the show
