Meditations 4 Misfits

In this episode, Fred offers a reflection on the story of The Golden Calf from Exodus chapter 32 and explores why we prefer idols to the God who feels. “The minute you begin to speak with certitude about God, he is gone.” – Christian Wiman 

In this podcast, we reflect on the giving of the Ten Commandments to Moses as recorded in the book of Exodus chapter 20. In this story, we are given the cure for the disease of the Tiny God Syndrome.  “Sometimes we wish the world could cry and tell us about that which made it pregnant with fear-filling grandeur.” – Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel 

In this reflection on two texts, Exodus 17 and Mathew 21, the theme is who do we trust to help us navigate through the uncertainties of life and why do we trust them. “You will trust God to the degree that you know you are loved by God.” – Brennan Manning
