Year of the Word Companion Podcast

In this episode, we celebrate the completion of the Torah as we walk through Deuteronomy 8–9, 30–31, 32:48–52, and 34, and step into Joshua 1–4, where God’s promises begin to be fulfilled. As Moses calls Israel to remember God’s faithfulness, we’re reminded that forgetting leads to pride, but remembering shapes our trust and obedience. From Joshua’s commissioning to Rahab’s faith and the crossing of the Jordan, we see that God’s people are called to step forward before the path is fully clear. This episode invites us to remember what God has done, trust where He is leading, and walk courageously in obedience.

In Week 11, we journey through Numbers 20, 27:12–23, 34–35, and Deuteronomy 1–7 as Israel stands on the edge of the Promised Land. This episode explores leadership transition, the consequences of disobedience, and God’s intentional design for His people. As Moses delivers his final words, we see the importance of remembering God’s faithfulness and renewing covenant identity. Ultimately, this week challenges us to prepare the next generation to trust, obey, and love God wholeheartedly.

In Week 10 of the Year of the Word reading plan, we explore Leviticus 23 and 26 and Numbers 11–14 and 16–17, where God calls His people to live holy and distinct lives. These passages highlight rhythms of remembrance, covenant faithfulness, and the dangers of fear, pride, and forgetting God in the wilderness. As Israel wrestles with trust, rebellion, and leadership, we see how easily fear can compete with faith when facing God’s promises. Ultimately, these chapters remind us that God’s people are called to reflect His character and trust His voice even in seasons of uncertainty.

In this episode we walk through Exodus 32–33, Exodus 34–36:1, Exodus 40, Leviticus 8–9, and Leviticus 16–17, exploring Israel’s failure with the golden calf and the incredible mercy of God that follows. As the covenant at Sinai is broken, Moses intercedes and God renews His promise to dwell among His people. Through the tabernacle, the consecration of the priests, and the Day of Atonement, God provides a way for a holy God to live among sinful people. Ultimately, these chapters point forward to Jesus, the final sacrifice and perfect mediator who makes a way for us to draw near to God.

In this episode, we journey through Exodus 19–31 and stand at the foot of Mount Sinai as God forms a rescued people into a covenant nation. We explore the thunder and fire of chapter 19, the giving of the Ten Words in chapter 20, and the detailed instructions for the Tabernacle that follow—seeing how all of it centers on one profound truth: God desires to dwell among His people. We reflect on holiness, sacred space, priestly identity, and the movement from redemption to relationship. Sinai isn’t just about law; it’s about presence. The same God who descended in fire is building a way to dwell in the midst of His people, shaping them to reflect His character to the world.

In this weeks podcast we walk through Exodus 8-17. We witness God's supremacy over false gods, His justice in Judgement, and His mercy through substitution in the Passover. The Lord redeems His people by the blood of the spotless lamb, delivers them powerfully through the Red Sea, and then faithfully sustains and shapes them in the wilderness through daily provision and mediated victory. These chapters reveal that salvation belongs to the Lord from beginning to end. He initiates it, accomplishes it, and sustains His people through it. Ultimately, Exodus points us forward to Jesus, our true Passover Lamb, our great Deliverer, our Bread from Heaven, and our ever-living Intercessor.

In this episode, we trace the movement from Genesis 48 to Exodus 7, watching God transform a family of seventy into a flourishing nation—even in affliction. As Pharaoh rises and oppression begins, we see the deeper story unfold: a covenant God who knows every name, hears every cry, and reveals Himself as “I AM.” Exodus is not merely a story of judgment, but of faithful love and powerful deliverance.

In this episode of the Year of the Word Companion Podcast, we walk through Genesis 39–47 and the story of Joseph, tracing God’s faithfulness through betrayal, waiting, and redemption. From the pit to the palace, we see how God’s purposes were never derailed, even when life seemed unjust or delayed. Joseph’s story reminds us that what others may mean for harm, God is always at work to mean for good.

In this episode of the Year of the Word Companion Podcast, we walk through Genesis 27–33 and 37, tracing Jacob’s journey from striving and deception to surrender and transformation.
