Here is special bonus for my faithful listeners! I was recently on this episode of The Word in Black and Red (https://linktr.ee/twibar) with Micah, Ell and Mason Mennenga. We had a wide-ranging discussion about three of the plagues of Egypt in Exodus 8:20-9:12.

We had a ball and made some really interesting connections to our present-day struggles. How many plagues have we had to live through over the last five years?
