Join Micah, Mike, Spencer, and Ronnie as we explore the construction of God's dwelling in Exodus 35:4-39:43. Why does it matter how the tabernacle for a religion three thousand years ago was set up? What sort of cultural memory was necessary to hold on to this, and what was being communicated about the current oppression the authors were writing? How is this rainbow-filled building a tool of resisting the empire that dominated them? And what can we learn about our own struggle from this ancient text? Find out answers to these questions and more on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!

Mike's gone through a rebrand since this episode was recorded, but you can still find him on Facebook as Mystic Mikester.

Ronnie's congregation, Chosen Family Church, can be found on Facebook.

Spencer just wants you to have a nice day and tell someone it's still Christmas time.

Join Micah, Scott, Mat, and Avery as we explore who God is, what the new covenant looks like, and why Moses is quite so shiny in Exodus 34-35:3. How do we see the idea that God is love here in this ancient passage about cursing disobedient people for four generations or driving out the indigenous inhabitants of Canaan? What is the spiritual significance of Moses' shining face? And how can this new promised relationship with God help us develop our own new ways of building society? Find out on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!
