The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal

• The Exodus and Jubilee ft. Dr. John Bergsma

  Episode 255 - The Exodus and Jubilee ft. Dr. John Bergsma - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 4) What does true freedom look like, and how can we restore what was lost? In the Book of Exodus, the Israelites' journey from slavery to freedom is a profound story of spiritual liberation. Led by Moses, they confront the oppressive forces of Egypt and experience God's miraculous intervention through the plagues, ultimately leading to their escape and journey toward the Promised Land.  This story is not just about historical events but also about humanity's ongoing struggle for freedom, forgiveness, and a deeper relationship with God. The Exodus story reminds us that liberation is possible and that through God, we can reclaim what was lost—freedom, family, and fullness. In this episode, together with our special guest, Dr. John Bergsma, we will reflect on the importance of the Exodus story in relation to this Jubilee year.
