The Wilderness as a Blessing

from Front Porch Report Hosted by Taz and Sam

When we read the story of Israel being sentenced to wander the wilderness for 40 years, it can be easy to interpret this fate as a divine punishment. After all, if your goal is a land flowing with milk and honey, what could be worse than a chaotic and resource-poor wasteland? In this episode, Taz and Sam consider whether this might, in fact, be an incomplete perspective. What if the wilderness wanderings were ordered out of love, not anger? What if they were a blessing, not a curse?
