In our latest episode, we traverse the early saga of Moses, from his palace upbringing to the awakening of his Hebrew roots. We explore the first 40 years of Moses' life, contrasting the Israelites' burgeoning population against the backdrop of escalating oppression in Egypt. This dramatic narrative is punctuated by the pivotal moment when Moses, at the age of 40, encounters a call to leadership that will forever alter the course of history. 

We also examine the remarkable growth of the Israelites under such oppression, drawing parallels to the biblical command in Genesis to "be fruitful and multiply." This resilience is attributed to the divine presence that accompanied God's people through their darkest times.
