Story of Scripture In a Year (SOSIAY) - February Teaching Video
In this conversation, Dr. Joel Muddamalle provides an overview of the readings for the month of February, which include the books of Job, Exodus, and Leviticus. He highlights the themes of God's desire to have his family back together and the battle between two households: one led by a rebellious son of God and the other led by Jesus. Dr. Muddamalle emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural context of the ancient Near Eastern world and the role of the divine council in interpreting the book of Job. He also discusses the significance of women in the book of Exodus and the purpose of the rituals and commands in Leviticus to keep the family of God holy.

A Theological Response to the Katt Williams Interview
The Katt Williams interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast broke the internet. 25+ million views in 24hrs and there's no end in sight. In this episode, Dr. Joel responds "theologically" to some of the more fascinating parts of the interview. Katt refers to the Bible and Jesus often in the interview, so we should pay close attention to how he frames Jesus, what we can glean and learn from it, and some things we should consider cautiously.
The theological approach to this interview is from a posture of humility. Knowing who God is, so we can know who we are teaches us how to relate to others. If you want to learn more about this approach and experience the peace that humility brings, you can pre-order Dr. Joel's book "The Hidden Peace."
