The women clergy of First Church in San Diego unpack the story of Moses from Exodus and tie it back to the challenges faced through history and modern life. In this episode, join Rev. Trudy and Rev. Hannah as they examine Exodus Chapter 3: 1-11, examining how Moses tried to avoid the call of God. After all, he was a runaway fugitive – an asylum seeker – who was he to lead God’s people? And yet, despite his dark past, ultimately Moses rises to the challenge. It’s a story of international relations, politics, and spirituality. And, along with so many other stories throughout the Bible, it serves as a reminder of how God’s involvement begins with everyday moments that serve as a catalyst for something much larger than we could ever imagine. We might not feel qualified in the moment but if we listen and answer the call, we don’t know who else may be reached or how. Want to join the discussion?

Brittany as they examine Exodus Chapter 2: 11-15, exposing the skeletons that Moses had in his closet — and yet, God still chose him to do extraordinary things. This story, and others throughout the Bible, reveal that God doesn’t necessarily care about our past. But as humans, we’re quick to point out other peoples’ weaknesses and consider them lesser than. Hear what Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany have to say about God’s grace, our forgiveness of others, and more. Want to join the discussion? We invite you to our weekly discussion group, Convergence.

Brittany as they examine Exodus chapters 1 & 2, featuring some truly witty and wise women who defied oppressive rules to save children from death. From Exodus to the modern day, women in various positions have had to employ wit, wisdom, and courage and commit acts of desperation to save their children from enslavement and danger. Which makes one start to think of God in a new light – including that of God the Mother. Hear what Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany have to say about this and more.
