Perspectives: First Church San Diego Pastors Podcast episodes

  • Perspectives Season 1, Episode 2: Journey Of The Hard Stuff, Skeletons in the Closet (Audio)

    Are you facing tough choices in life? Join us for this season of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast as we dive into the Journey of the Hard Stuff. The women clergy of First Church in San Diego unpack the story of Moses from Exodus and tie it back to the challenges faced through history and modern life.

    In this episode, join Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany as they examine Exodus Chapter 2: 11-15, exposing the skeletons that Moses had in his closet — and yet, God still chose him to do extraordinary things.

    This story, and others throughout the Bible, reveal that God doesn’t necessarily care about our past. But as humans, we’re quick to point out other peoples’ weaknesses and consider them lesser than.

    Hear what Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany have to say about God’s grace, our forgiveness of others, and more.

            Are you facing tough choices in life? Join us for this season of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast as we dive into the Journey of the Hard Things. The women clergy of First Church in San Diego unpack the story of Moses from Exodus and tie it back to the challenges faced through history and modern life.

            In this episode, join Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany as they examine Exodus chapters 1 & 2, featuring some truly witty and wise women who defied oppressive rules to save children from death.

            From Exodus to the modern day, women in various positions have had to employ wit, wisdom, and courage and commit acts of desperation to save their children from enslavement and danger. Which makes one start to think of God in a new light – including that of God the Mother. Hear what Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany have to say about this and more.
