Here is a special bonus discussion for my listeners who are interested.

W. Scott McAndless joins Micah, Ben, & Brandon Johnson from the Found in Translation Podcast and Liberation & Inclusion Translation (LIT) as we explore the first Passover on The Word In Black and Red Podcast.

Why does it seem like there are two separate agendas here? What are the distinct ways God is being perceived, and how does that allow us to approach the text with new eyes? And are we pro or anti angel of death? Find out some answers to these questions and more on this episode of The Word in Black and Red: The Leftist Bible Study Podcast.

Note: Explicit language.

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?

Listen in on this amazing discussion and subscribe to The Word in Black and Red for more.
