    Extra: God's Character, The Renewed Covenant & Moses' Shining Face

    17/12/2025 | 1h 35 mins.
    I was greatly blessed to be part of this discussion on The Word in Black and Red podcast.

    In particular, discussing "Masking" with my neurodivergent (and otherwise diverse) siblings was transformative for me (Starts at 1:07:00 or so). It is always good to hear about those who have a very different life experience as we read the scriptures.

    A discussion of Exodus 34:1-35:3

    Note: Explicit language and topics.

About Retelling the Bible

I created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.
