In this week’s episode, Mark to dives into one of the Bible’s most unusual stories from Exodus 4, where Moses encounters a surprising divine threat on his way to Egypt. Together, they explore the significance of this intense moment, highlighting the quick-thinking actions of Moses’ wife, Zipporah, in saving his life through an emergency circumcision. We invite you to reflect on the themes of faithfulness, commitment, and God’s covenant. Join us for this thought-provoking conversation, and take a step deeper into understanding God’s call to obedience and faith.

Questions for discussion:

1. We see how the origin story of Moses uniquely set him up to be the person God would use to confront Pharaoh. What about your story has uniquely positioned you?

2. Moses knew that the slavery of the Hebrew people wasn't right and lashed out in anger. What NOT SO good thing have you done that was driven by good motives?

3. Moses must have questioned everything in Midian. What belief of your childhood has been challenged as you got older?

4. When God calls Moses to act he is hesitant and overly pessimistic. What in your life today have you become disproportionately negative about because of past losses?

5. The circumcision of their son was a step of faithfulness that Moses and Zipporah had neglected. What is the step of faithful obedience that you might be neglecting...and what do you expect the consequences of that choice to be?

6. What would it look like (what would have to change) to simply do the things you know God wants you to do?
