from Dad Tired · host Jerrad Lopes

Many Christians—and critics—wrestle with this difficult question: does the Bible support slavery?  Chris Hilkin discusses the  most misunderstood and controversial aspects of the Old Testament. He confronts the assumption that God condones slavery by unpacking what the Bible actually says about servitude, justice, and human dignity. Through historical context, Hebrew language insights, and careful biblical interpretation, Chris explains how God’s law placed boundaries on power, offered protections to the vulnerable, and called His people to reflect His justice and mercy—even in broken systems.What You’ll Learn:Why the Hebrew Bible doesn’t have a category for race-based slaveryHow biblical servitude functioned like voluntary indentured laborWhat protections the Mosaic law gave to servants—including freedom, fair treatment, and legal rightsHow the New Testament condemns slave trading as sinful 📖 Scriptures References:Exodus 21:16 Deuteronomy 23:15–16 Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Exodus – Laws protecting servants1 Timothy 1:10 – All are one in Christ; serve others in loveIsaiah 61 Invite Jerrad to speak: https://www.jerradlopes.comRead The Dad Tired Book: https://amzn.to/3YTz4GB
