Lance Smith’s latest ”Bible Difficulties and Answers” episode dives into Exodus 1:15, asking how two midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, could handle births for an ENTIRE Hebrew nation. With humor and curiosity, he explores them as head midwives, Egyptian appointees, or early heroes, citing Shiphrah’s name on a slave list. Their defiance of Pharaoh shines through. Short, sharp, and insightful—perfect for us believers. I’m amazed and inspired by his thoughtful podcasts.
