Exodus 5-6: Pharaoh Wants a Fight Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

In Exodus 5 and 6, we see Moses and Aaron in obedience to God take on Pharaoh at the sweet ages of 83 and 80. Settle in as Susan and Heather set the stage of how this would have appeared in the Egyptian court and how Moses handles failure this time around.
We are happy you are part of the club. Make sure to take a peek at the show notes below for Hayley's recap!
Questions

When you make a mistake, what do you do first? Sulk, hide, or pray in humility for wisdom?
When you are doing God’s work, let’s say trying to serve a surly, suffering, co-worker, and they reject you. Do you give up? Or do you turn back to God in prayer asking him to go before you and soften their heart, give you better words and ways to reach them?
Moses is clearly frustrated and blaming God in his prayer. He asks why? What are you frustrated with? How have you cried out to God? How have you seen Him answer
What patterns in your life threaten to take you off the path and plan God has for you?

Exodus 4: Moses Fears He Will Fail Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

In Exodus 4, join Susan and Heather as they discuss the cycle of doubt that Moses follows with God. God persists and eventually, Moses obeys but it isn't without a few excuses attempted first! Sound familiar?
We are happy you are part of the club. Make sure to take a peek at the show notes below for Hayley's recap!
Questions

How have you failed? Are you trying to hide in obscurity? Do you think that you don’t deserve a future?
- What did you learn from your failure or time in the desert?
- How has God used that lesson you learned to fortify your future??
Do you fear that people won’t take you seriously? Do you doubt that you can be used by God to lead others for Him or to Him? Is your focus more on you than God?
What excuses do you give to opt-out of God’s plan? And is it because you don’t believe God has the power to do it through you?

Exodus 2-3: Moses Doubts His Ability Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

Moses lived 120 years and his life was split into thirds equally. The first 40 years were in Egypt, 2nd 40 years in Midian, and the last 40 were leading Israelites to the Promised Land. Listen as Heather and Susan discuss the importance of each of these portions in Moses' life and how they prepared him to be the leader his people needed.

Questions

How is God drawing you and to what is he calling you? What curiosity invades your thoughts? What passion smolders within your heart?
Do you ever feel like Moses, adrift for years, passionate but not useful? Or maybe like the Israelites, suffering so much it is a struggle to believe that God is going to redeem your life?

Exodus Overview: The Journey Begins Jan 03, 2022

Show notes

We have made it through Genesis and now we pick up in Exodus (with 400 years of silence between the two books). Exodus gives us much more detail than we saw in Genesis and so to me, the story picks up a bit. Join the Bible Book Club as we take on book #2.

Genesis 50: The End of the Beginning Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

We made it! Genesis 50, the chapter to end the great book of Genesis. We just left Jacob blessing his 12 sons with prophetic words about the future of their tribes. Jacob then passes away and here, in Genesis 50, we see Joseph take charge. Joseph rallies his family to honor Jacob in a great way and stays the voice of reason through it all for his dramatic brothers.
Thank you for making it this far! We are happy you are part of the club. Make sure to take a peek at the show notes below for Hayley's recap!
Not to ruin the surprise, but continue listening for the next few weeks--we have some bonus content dropping!

Genesis 49: Jacob Foresees His Sons' Futures Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

Genesis 49 is a hefty chapter where Jacob prophecies for his 12 sons that make up the 12 tribes of Israel. It is a thrilling chapter that commentators use to connect the old testament to the new testament future of the sons. Which prophecy would you have wanted from the list?
