Coming from Conservative Baptist backgrounds, Taz and Sam each had their faith challenged and sharpened by their time spent co-leading a small group Bible Study on a secular college campus. Four years spent in the echo chamber of a different worldview forced them to confront major theological, philosophical, and political controversies in a respectful and intellectually honest manner. Now, with a balanced, yet uncompromised perspective that is so necessary in today's fraught climate, Sam and Taz offer incisive commentary about current events and a model for leading a small group bible study.

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?<br><strong>Resources Referenced</strong><br><a href="https://bibleproject.com/podcast/series/exodus-way/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">The Exodus Way - The Bible Project</a><br><a href="https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">That the World May Know - Ray Vander Laan</a><br><a href="https://www.bemadiscipleship.com/26" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">The Shepherd - BEMA Discipleship Podcast</a><br><a href="https://www.augsburgfortress.org/store/category/287213/Manna-and-Mercy" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Mana and Mercy - Dan Erlander</a><br><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/front-porch-report/id1539696266?i=1000647900660" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Longing For Heaven - Front Porch Report</a></p>
