Perfect Body! A Torah Portion Afterthought
Perfect Body podcast is an afterthought on the weekly Torah portions. The Torah is the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Take time this year to read the Torah and be refreshed in your body, mind, and spirit. I tell the story of a portion of the portion breaking it down into bite size pieces that you can swallow so that you can eat and be full but not too full. Save room for your personal self-discovery as you engage in Torah study. Subscribe to this show to receive a new show every week. Visit http://www.shirahchante.com/podcast for more inspiration.
Perfect Body! A Torah Portion Afterthought
Shemot: And the More They Multiplied
In this Torah Portion Afterthought, Shirah Chante reflects on Shemot, the opening portion of the Book of Exodus, and explores one of Scripture’s most striking paradoxes:
The more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied.
As Pharaoh attempts to suppress the people of Israel through affliction and slavery, God’s power is revealed in an unexpected way—through growth, expansion, and multiplication. This episode invites listeners to recognize God’s presence in places where decline should have occurred, but purpose prevailed instead.
You’ll hear reflections on:
- The meaning of Shemot (“Names”)
- Oppression as a failed strategy against God’s promises
- God’s supernatural activity in hidden places
- The birth of Moses and the significance of being “drawn out”
- How this Torah portion speaks into modern life and faith
This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and encounter the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is still working powerfully today.
