About this episode

This episode explores Moses' hesitations and arguments with God at the Burning Bush, highlighting themes of faith and self-doubt.

What happens when God calls—and the human response is resistance ? At the Burning Bush, Moses doesn’t rush forward as a confident leader. Instead, he argues. He hesitates. He insists: “Who am I?” … “What if they don’t believe me?” … “I am not a man of words.” In this episode, we explore one of the most honest conversations in the Torah: Moses arguing with God —and what it teaches us about faith, fear, and the dangerous theology of saying “I can’t.”
