Lance’s podcast feels like a chat with a friend whose smile makes tough biblical puzzles a breeze. With wit and Alabama charm, Lance unravels the three-generation, 430-year Egypt sojourn conundrum, using vivid analogies like long-lived pickup trucks. He defends the 430-year view, dodging the “biological circus” of the 215-year theory with clarity. It’s a trust-in-Scripture win. I’m brewing my tea with Mose’s water for that longevity, because this is an 18-min. gem.
