Episode notes
Trials As Agency-Building Opportunities
- Suffering and trials are reframed as agency-inviting crucibles that build character and conversion toward Christ.
- Viewing pain as part of a long game (salvation and exaltation) provides meaning and solace amid hardship.
Personal Relationship Before Divine Commission
- Moses's experience emphasizes God's personal relationship: "Thou art my son" and "I will show thee."
- Divine intimacy precedes commission and grounds mortal identity and mission.
Transfiguration Enables Spiritual Sight
- Moses was transfigured to behold God's glory because natural eyes could not endure it.
- Spiritual vision, not mere natural sight, enables encounters with divine presence.
