991 | Coffee to Go | Proper 16 | Year A

What happens when fear turns strangers into threats—and courage looks like disobedience? This week on Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore the story of Moses’ birth and the courageous women who defied an oppressive system to protect his life, reminding us that liberation sometimes begins with ordinary people refusing to cooperate with injustice. From the fear of immigrants and the misuse of power to the hidden strength of women and the sacred practice of listening across cultural differences, this episode connects the ancient story of Exodus to the realities of our world today. Grab your coffee and join the conversation as we ask what it means to confront fear, challenge harmful systems, and make space for the stranger. Listen to more episodes in the Coffee to Go series. Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.
