But what if it is part of the greater story of the Bible? What if it continues the narrative of Creation to Exodus to Exile and back again?

What if we travelled farther back in history? What if the Exodus is, instead, the crux of salvation? How would that change how we talk about God’s redemption? In today's episode, Katelyn talks about the impact of the Passover and Exodus on the plan of salvation in the biblical narrative.

Moses’ life—including his very-relatable regrets and mistakes—is an excellent example of these four stages and what it means to stumble along on this journey of faith.

Was it a literal worldwide flood? How did Noah feed all the animals on the ark? How did he get them all on board? How do we reconcile God’s love with the horrible act of wiping out his creations?

She’s not afraid to ask the hard questions. But mostly, she asks, Why should we care about Noah and the ark? Why is it in the Bible at all? What does it tell us about the God of the Bible?

Many of us live fragmented, broken lives. During Advent, we identify with Israel, who longed for their Messiah to come. As we wait for the second coming of Christ, we recognize that the Prince of Peace has come, but all is not yet made whole.

Jesus gave them the nickname "Sons of Thunder." Katelyn talks about the powerful emotions of anger and passion. Is it possible that these emotions have their place in God's kingdom?
