It begins with a simple observation that carries the weight of the entire book: the more the Egyptians afflicted the children of Israel, the more they multiplied. Pharaoh — threatened by a people he no longer understands — tightens his grip. Slaves. Taskmasters. Bricks without straw. And then something worse: an order to the midwives to kill every Hebrew boy at birth.But the midwives feared God. And they did not obey.In this first deep dive into Exodus, we unpack one of scripture's most quietly radical stories: two women, Shiphrah and Puah, who chose God over Pharaoh. We wrestle with the tricky question of whether they lied — and what God's blessing of them means. We also explore why God sometimes seems to allow suffering to go on longer than we'd like, and what he might be doing in the waiting.Key questions explored:• Why does God allow his people to be oppressed? Where is he in the suffering?• Is it ever right to disobey a government for the sake of God?• Did the midwives lie — and does that affect how God blessed them?• In what ways does the early Church's growth under persecution mirror Israel's story?

Season 2 begins — and we could not have asked for a better guide to open it. In this special introduction to the Book of Exodus, we are joined by HE Archbishop Angaelos of the Diocese of London, whose wisdom and pastoral heart have inspired so many of us over the years. We are deeply honoured to have him with us.The Book of Exodus is not just ancient history. It is the story of our lives. The children of Israel, once prosperous under Joseph, find themselves enslaved — their privileges having become golden cages. Sound familiar? God, unsatisfied with anything less than our full freedom, sends Moses to lead his people out. But the journey is rarely a straight line.Together, we explore Exodus as a type of our own spiritual journey — from slavery to sin, through the wilderness, toward the Promised Land. We discuss Moses as a leader, the transformative gift of the Ten Commandments, the profound symbolism of the Passover, and God's tender presence in the pillar of cloud and fire.Key questions explored:• In what ways does our modern life mirror the slavery of Egypt?• What does the pillar of cloud and fire tell us about God's presence in our wilderness?• How does the Passover meal connect to the Eucharist we receive today?• What does God's patience with a "stiff-necked" people say about his love for us?

After a full season journeying through the Book of Genesis — from the first words of creation to the final chapters of Joseph's story — we gather in this conclusion episode to step back and ask:What has God been showing us all along?From the breathtaking moment of creation, to the tragedy of the fall, to the quiet faithfulness of God walking with his people through every twist and failure, one theme has carried us through: God never stops pursuing humanity.The expulsion from Eden was not abandonment — it was a new beginning. The covenant with Abraham, sealed as he slept, was never about human worthiness. Jacob the deceiver, Joseph the prisoner — God was present in all of it.In this final episode of Season 1, we reflect on how the whole Book of Genesis points forward to Christ — the second Adam who enters the garden not to hide, but to pray. The one who says, "Not my will, but yours."Key questions explored:• Why did God create humanity, and what does that tell us about his love?• What does the expulsion from Eden truly mean — punishment or providence?• How do the stories of Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph all prepare us for Christ?• How has God been speaking to you personally through the Book of Genesis?

In this episode, we conclude the book of Genesis as Jacob blesses his sons with prophetic words that echo far beyond their time. We explore the rich symbolism behind each blessing, the emotional reunion and forgiveness between Joseph and his brothers, and Jacob’s deathbed scene—one of deep faith and trust in God’s promises. We also reflect on Joseph’s legacy and his unwavering belief that God would one day bring His people out of Egypt.This is a powerful ending to a foundational book—don’t miss it!Subscribe to stay tuned!Follow us on:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/comeseepod/TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@comeseepodYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@comeseepodYou can also listen on: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/come-see-podcast/id1771068333Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3tVz96eASeJWsn8sog55nf
