TGIY Ep. 22 - Shiny People

·22 min·2 clips
Moses descended Mount Sinai with a shining face, unaware he was radiating God's glory and frightening his people.
This episode explores the concept of 'shiny people' in biblical and mythological contexts, examining figures like Moses, Jesus, and Stephen who radiated divine light. It connects these stories to ancient myths such as the Tuatha Dé Danann and discusses the idea that reflecting God's glory can be both transformative and dangerous.

As heard by us

A scripture-led meditation on radiance, holiness, and the danger of drawing too near Yahweh.

This episode starts with a phrase about a face like an angel, then follows it into questions about biblical radiance, divine presence, and why seeing Yahweh can be deadly. It moves from Moses in Exodus to Stephen at the end of Acts, and that gives the discussion a clean arc.
