Join Micah, Scott, Mat, and the audio ghost of Josiah as we discuss the destruction of Pharaoh's army in Exodus 13:17-15:21. Why are there so many contradictory details in this story? Did this event really happen, and if not, what mythical and propagandistic function did it serve? And what does this story have to teach us about God's anger and the struggle for justice? Find out on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!

Ever wonder where to listen to Scott's amazing podcast, Retelling the Bible?

Mat was captured by a pokeball to be on this episode. If you'd like to capture my favorite pokemon, you might find him in his native habitat at churchoftheaffirmation.wordpress.com or in the Discord.

When Josiah exists in corporeal form, he can be heard on the narrative fiction podcast Pulp! or @church_of_christ_the_anarchist on Instagram.
