#76 - God Ordained Civil Disobedience - Exodus (pt. 3) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

The book of Exodus opens with several stories of civil disobedience including the midwives who disobeyed Pharaoh's command to murder the Hebrew males.

In this episode, we explore totalitarianism, civil disobedience, and the two midwives - Shiphrah and Puah.

When it comes to matters of human life, God is the ultimate authority and must be obeyed.

Shiphrah and Puah display the moral courage necessary to obey God during times of totalitarian rule.

Because of their courage, God blesses them by giving them families of their own.
