About this listen

Moses is one of the most familiar figures in all of Scripture. That familiarity is exactly the problem.

The Moses we think we know—confident, chosen, called from birth—isn't really the Moses the text gives us. The actual Moses spends the first eighty years of his life being made and unmade. Formed by the most powerful empire in the ancient world, then slowly, painstakingly unformed in the desert.

In Part 7 of You've Heard It Said, we look at what Acts 7:22 actually means when it says Moses was "educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians"—what that education did to him, why his first attempt at liberation failed, and what forty years of silence in Midian were really doing. The burning bush makes a lot more sense once you understand what God had to undo first.

You've Heard It Said: where faith meets history, and the stories we thought we knew come alive.👉 https://youvehearditsaid.short.gy/spotify
