What is the biblically proper way to complain? How are the complainants here living into their calling as the people of God? And how does God's abundant love poured out on these people inform our fight against capitalism? Find out on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!

More from The Word in Black and Red
Join Micah, Josh Wise, Rig, Daniela, and Jules Webb from xiantifa.itch.io to discuss the sacred time and covenants in Leviticus 23-24:9. How can a set time be "sacred"? How does the way we spend our time affect our relationship with God and one another? And can we finally become peasants with 20 hour work weeks again? Find out some perspectives on these questions and more on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!
Join Micah, Brandon Johnson and Brandon Rhodes from Found in Translation and Avery Arden from Blessed are the Binary Breakers as we explore the laws around priests and sacrifices in Leviticus 21-22. Why does purity matter, and how have these rules been used to abuse? What did they mean to the spiritual lives of those who followed them? And how do we build the kingdom of God for all people on the foundation of such an exclusionary text?
Join Micah, Fae, and Daniela as we discuss witchcraft in Leviticus 20. What is “witchcraft”? What magical practices are being addressed in this passage? And how is the concept of “witchcraft” used to oppress? Find out some perspectives on these questions and more on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!
Join Micah, Fae, and Daniela as we discuss Molech in Leviticus 20. Who--or what--is Molech? What do all these strict prohibitions tell us about Israelite society and the societies surrounding it? How does the context help us respond to the “clobber passage” in this text? And do we still deal with Molech today? Find some perspectives on these questions and more on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!
Join Micah, Ell, Josh Wise, and Margaret Killjoy as we explore the complex set of laws on Leviticus 19. How do ancient Israel’s laws and public health codes compare to our own standards of morality? How can a house have a skin disease? And in a broader sense, why do we spend so much time thinking about such a morally complicated text?
