Exodus Day 30: The Low and High of Exodus May 08, 2020

Show notes

We did it! We made it! Lindsay and Marri wrap up their thoughts and reflections from the journey and share their highs and lows from a season spent in Exodus. We also introduce a hot debate when it comes to The Prince of Egypt - who has the better voice, Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey? And, obviously, we sing.. again.

Day 29 is a family episode! Marri’s family, Aidah and Drew, join us for a retelling of the story of the burning bush from Exodus 3. Aidah gives us a closer look at this part of the story while Drew tells us about his great love for the magnificent Golden Eagles. Aidah encourages us to smell our favorite foods and use our imaginations during our mindfulness portion.

Exodus Day 28: Jesus, The New Moses May 06, 2020

Show notes

What a story! We’ve reached the last chapter of Exodus today and reflect on the heroic narrative of Moses. There’s so much beauty to the arc of this sweeping narrative, particularly when it comes to the completion of the tabernacle - the place where God dwells. Marri unpacks how the tabernacle connects to Jesus’ death on the cross.

Exodus Day 27: Prayerful Play and Playful Prayer May 05, 2020

Show notes

When it comes to the the love and care of people (whether in work or parenting or whatever context you find yourself in), it can often exceed our capacity to manage. We need a strategy. Sabbath is our strategy. Lindsay unpacks the wise words from pastor Eugene Peterson in his book Working the Angles. How does Sabbath embody the elements of prayer and play.. and how do these two overlap? Who knew rest could be so whimsical and worshipful and adventurous!?

Exodus Day 26: Who Are You? May 04, 2020

Show notes

If someone asked you the question “who are you,” how would you answer? Lindsay talks about the first time she was asked that question by a counselor and how she now asks that question of others. Lindsay and Marri unpack how Exodus 34:6-7 the Lord’s answer to that question - words proclaim His character and His nature. How do we model our own character and nature after these words?

Exodus Day 25: I Have Crossed the Horizon to Find You May 01, 2020

Show notes

Somehow, Marri and Lindsay end up in an in-depth discussion about the parallels between Exodus 33 and the plot of Disney’s Moana. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you should go watch it because there are significant spoilers. Lots of laughs, a few tears - it’s worth the watch and then worth the listen.

Exodus Day 24: Audacious Intercession Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

When the cat’s away the mice will…immediately break a divine covenant and melt down their jewelry to make a golden calf. That’s right - we’ve reached Exodus 32 and the Israelites have really messed things up this time. God and Moses have a serious chat about whether or not to wipe them out completely while Lindsay and Marri talk about intercession.

Mindfulness practice: The Lord’s Prayer

Exodus Day 23: A Merciful Leg Sweep Apr 29, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode is a bit of a grab bag, which is fitting, since Exodus 31 is as well. Marri and Lindsay talk for a while about Craftsmanship as a spiritual gift and then pivot pretty sharply into a darkly humorous exploration of Sabbath. When an episode ranges from The Sistine Chapel to Andy Samberg movies you know it’s a good one.

Mindfulness practice: Creativity and Wonder

Exodus Day 22: The God of Interior Design? Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

We’ve reached God’s first set of instructions for the tabernacle that He’s asked Moses to build and it is FANCY. Spanning 5 chapters, these instructions describe a place is dripping in gold, precious gems, detailed embroidery — Versailles-level extravagance. Marri and Lindsay talk about this surprising focus on design and the connection of beauty and glory.
