Part 2 of our Exodus 3 study continues beyond the familiar Sunday school version of the burning bush and into the tension-filled conversation between God and Moses. Rather than eagerly accepting his calling, Moses resists. He questions God’s plan, his own qualifications, his authority, and even the likelihood that Israel will listen to him at all. In many ways, Moses becomes a mirror for our own fears, insecurities, and reluctance to trust God when He calls us into difficult places.

In this episode, we examine God’s response to Moses’ objections and what it reveals about the nature of divine authority, covenant faithfulness, and human weakness. We explore the meaning of God’s declaration, “I AM WHO I AM,” why the divine name has been so central to Jewish and Christian theology, and how the Exodus story challenges many modern assumptions about God’s relationship to His people.

We also discuss the significance of remembering the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the role of covenant memory throughout Scripture, and why God repeatedly points Moses back to His promises rather than Moses’ abilities. Along the way, we explore connections to later biblical themes, including the ministry of Jesus, the language of divine presence, and the recurring biblical pattern that God often works through the unlikely, the broken, and the reluctant.

As with our Genesis series, our goal is not simply to repeat familiar interpretations, but to wrestle honestly with the text, the ancient worldview behind it, and the questions that emerge when we slow down and read Scripture on its own terms. Exodus 3 is far more than a commissioning story. It is a revelation of God’s character, His faithfulness to His covenant, and His determination to redeem His people despite every obstacle placed in the way.
