Logic of God
The Logic of God is a Christian apologetics and biblical studies podcast for people who want more than surface-level answers. We examine Scripture in its ancient world, explore the historical and textual reliability of the Bible, and ask whether the Christian faith can withstand serious intellectual scrutiny.
From Genesis to Revelation, we dig into biblical theology, ancient Near Eastern context, Second Temple Judaism, archaeology, textual criticism, philosophy, history, science, and the development of early Christianity. We take on difficult passages, disputed doctrines, skeptical challenges, and questions Christians are often told simply to accept.
Along the way, we engage the work of biblical scholars, theologians, philosophers, historians, archaeologists, scientists, and other specialists—bringing academic research into conversations ordinary Christians can actually follow.
Whether you are strengthening your faith, questioning what you have been taught, studying the Bible more deeply, or investigating Christianity for yourself, The Logic of God is built around a simple conviction: truth does not fear investigation.
Follow the evidence. Understand the context. Know why you believe.

Exodus Chapter 11: The Threat
The plagues have brought Egypt to the edge of collapse, but one final judgment remains. Before the death of the firstborn and the institution of Passover, Exodus 11 pauses to show just how dramatically the story has changed. The Israelites who ...
Exodus Chapter 10: Plague 9 - The Plague of Darkness
The ninth plague brings Egypt into complete darkness. For three days, a darkness so severe that it can be “felt” covers the land, leaving the Egyptians unable to see one another or even rise from their places. Yet while Egypt sits in darkness, ...
Exodus Chapter 10: Plague 8 - The Plague of Locusts
The eighth plague brings Egypt another step closer to complete destruction. Whatever survived the hail is now threatened by an overwhelming swarm of locusts, leaving Pharaoh and his servants with almost nothing left to depend upon. Yet before t...
Exodus Chapter 9: Plague 7 - The Plague of Hail (Part 2)

Exodus Chapter 9: Plague 7 - The Plague of Hail

Exodus Chapter 9: Plague 6 - The Plague of Boils
The sixth plague brings us to another major shift in the Exodus story. Moses takes soot from a kiln, throws it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh, and it becomes fine dust across Egypt, breaking out as boils on man and beast. But this plague...
Exodus Chapter 9: Plague 5 - The Plague on the Egyptian Livestock

Exodus Chapter 8: Plague 4 - The Plague of Flies
The fourth plague marks a dramatic turning point in the Exodus narrative. For the first time, God makes a distinction between Egypt and His covenant people, shielding Israel from the judgment falling upon the land. Pharaoh, confronted with a po...
Exodus Chapter 8: Plague 3 - The Plague of Gnats
The third plague is easy to overlook. Sandwiched between the frogs and the swarms of flies, it receives only a handful of verses in Exodus. Yet this brief account marks one of the most significant turning points in the entire plague narrative. ...
Exodus Chapter 8: Plague 2 - The Plague of Frogs
The second plague of Egypt is often remembered as an almost comical story about frogs covering the land. Yet beneath the surface lies a profound theological confrontation between the God of Israel and the spiritual powers Egypt believed governe...
Exodus Chapter 7: Plague 1 - The Plague of Blood (Part 2)
The plagues of Egypt are often reduced to children's stories or dismissed as natural disasters, but Exodus presents something far greater. The first plague marks the opening battle between the God of Israel and the powers Egypt believed governe...
Exodus Chapter 7: Yahweh the Devourer of Dragons (Part 1)
Exodus Chapter 7 opens one of the most familiar sections of Scripture, yet it begins in a place many readers overlook. Before the Nile turns to blood or Egypt is struck by devastating plagues, God answers Pharaoh's challenge from Exodus 5: "Who...
Exodus Chapter 6: The Forgiveness of God, the Genealogy of Moses, and the Visions of Amram
Exodus Chapter 6 follows immediately after Moses' lowest moment. After accusing God of bringing greater suffering upon Israel, Moses receives an unexpected response—not judgment, but reassurance. Rather than abandoning His servant, God reminds ...
Exodus Chapter 5: Bricks Without Straw, Tools Without Use, and Men Without Faith

Exodus Chapter 4: Resisting the Will of God (Part 2)
Just when Moses finally agrees to obey God's calling, Exodus takes an unexpected and deeply unsettling turn. On the journey back to Egypt, the Lord suddenly seeks to kill the very man He has chosen to deliver Israel. The encounter is brief, mys...
Exodus Chapter 4: Resisting the Will of God (Part 1)

Exodus Chapter 3: The Mountain, the Flame, and the Name (Part 2)
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 pl...
Exodus Chapter 3: The Mountain, the Flame, and the Name (Part 1)
In Exodus 3, Moses encounters the burning bush, but this story is far stranger, deeper, and more confrontational than the version most Christians inherited from Sunday school retellings. The fire does not consume the bush. The Angel of Yahweh s...
Exodus Chapter 2: Moses, The Son of the Nile (Part 2)
Exodus 2 continues to unfold as far more than the setup for Moses’ story. In this second part, we move deeper into the themes of exile, identity, suffering, and divine preparation that shape both Moses and the future of Israel.We explore...
Exodus Chapter 2: Moses, The Son of the Nile (Part 1)
