#7 When Egypt Looks Tempting

In this episode, Cece dives deep into a common but often unspoken struggle in the faith journey—those moments when the old life starts to look more appealing than the unknown future. Drawing from the story of the Israelites in the wilderness, we explore what “Egypt” represents in our lives and how to resist the pull of familiar bondage when God is calling us forward. If you’ve ever been tempted to go back to what God freed you from, this one’s for you.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

• The meaning of “Egypt” as a metaphor for bondage and false comfort
• Why the wilderness can distort your memory of the past
• Signs you might be tempted to go back
• How to recognize the voice of fear vs. the call of faith
• Encouragement to keep moving toward your promised land

Key Scriptures:

• Numbers 11:4–6
• Exodus 16:3
• Isaiah 43:18–19

Reflection Prompt:

“What does Egypt represent in my life right now—and what would it look like to trust God for the Promised Land instead?”
