87. Frogpocalypse Now (Exodus 8)

Ever wonder why God chose some of the world’s most annoying creatures to take down ancient Egypt’s superpower status? This week we’re exploring Exodus 8 — where frogs invade Pharaoh’s bedroom, magicians have their “this is above my pay grade” moment, and unidentified flying insects accomplish what armies couldn’t.

But these weren’t just random acts of divine weirdness. Each plague was a surgical strike against Egypt’s worldview, perfectly designed to speak their cultural language while demonstrating that their gods were basically middle management pretending to be CEOs. From boundary-crossing frogs to zombie-esque swarms of anti-creation dust creatures, we’re considering how God gets our attention through the most unexpected channels. Learn the hidden significance of signs 2–4 this week!
