“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years…”

— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

This week on Coaching the Bible, we take on one of the most dangerous movements in the Torah—and one of the most modern.

In Parshat Korach, a rebellion erupts. But this isn’t about justice or equality. It’s a coalition of contradictions—a mob formed not by shared mission, but shared resentment. Sound familiar?

From Moses and Korach to today’s chaotic coalitions, we explore:

Why some movements gain traction even when they make no sense

What leaders get wrong about rebellion

How to hold the center when strange bedfellows come for your crown

Strap in. This episode goes hard.
