On Simmer in the Desert | WEEK SEVEN | Episode 09
02/12/24 • 30 min
This week in our one year Bible adventure with friends.... What does all this stuff about the commandments and the tabernacle in the desert mean to me?
As Moses and the Israelites are hard at work putting together that Tabernacle in the wilderness to create a space to meet with God... and God embeds some dramatic tension deep into our story... and we wrap our minds around why we should care at all.

Tiny Toy Monsters | WEEK SIX | Episode 8
This is WEEK SIX on our one-year Bible adventure... We have crossed over the one-month mark...as we are crossing the desert with Moses and the Israelites. It's all about Exodus this week. In Exodus, God gets personal. We learn his name. We see his heart. We get a peak into his motivations. And... when we push in for that close up, the image we see is intimidating, to say the least.
