The Pharaoh, the Midwives & the Nature of Courage

Full Video: Tyrant Contra God | Biblical Series: Exodus Episode 1    • Tyrant Contra God | Biblical Series: Exodu...   In the first episode of this eight-part Exodus seminar series, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and panelists explore the profound psychological, moral, and spiritual themes embedded within the Book of Exodus. One of the most compelling discussions centers on the Hebrew midwives and Pharaoh’s daughter — individuals who chose moral courage over blind loyalty to power and tribe. The conversation examines how conscience, responsibility, and moral agency can transcend ethnicity, politics, and fear. This series dives deep into Exodus not merely as ancient history, but as a foundational story about tyranny, freedom, sacrifice, identity, and the human condition. Topics include: • The Hebrew midwives’ defiance of Pharaoh • Moral agency beyond tribal loyalty • The psychology of oppression and courage • Biblical symbolism and meaning • Why Exodus still matters today
