Welcome to Pause to Read, a podcast by ⁠The Park Forum⁠. The Park Forum is a donor-supported Bible engagement ministry providing free (and ad-free) Monday through Friday devotionals online and via email subscription. On the Pause to Read podcast, we read a devotional from the past year and encourage you to pause to read the scripture before you listen to the devotional.

Today’s devotional, titled Visionaries Not Vigilantes, was written by John Tillman and read by John Tillman. It was originally published on February 21, 2023, and based on the following passages: Exodus 4.13.

Please discuss this episode and others in this series on violence with others. Then share thoughts from your conversations with us at info@theparkforum.org and include “Pause To Read” and “Topic of Violence” in the subject line.

Divine violence is a difficult and disturbing topic. If you’d like more in-depth study on this topic Erin recommends Confronting Old Testament Controversies, by Tremper Longman. You can also hear Erin discuss some of these topics on the Faith and Culture Now podcast.
