Old Testament scholar (and Holy Post pundit!) Carmen Imes joins Kaitlyn to talk about a question both little kids and grown ups ask a lot: why did God harden Pharaoh's heart? Was God causing Pharaoh to do something evil? Was God overriding Pharaoh's free will? Dr. Imes teaches us about the Hebrew words for "hardening" a heart, how historical background can help us understand this passage, and what the larger theology of the story teaches us about God.
