This is episode 1 of 22 lessons about the Exodus.  I refer to it as the "Torah," because these stories are more than just stories - they are also the context within which the first five books of the bible were written, and those books are called the Torah.  Torah is technically the Hebrew word for "Law," and so much of what's in Exodus - Deuteronomy includes the Law for the people of Israel. 
For us, it's important to remember the context within which these lessons came.  When modern Christians read this, they almost never take the context into account, and that leads to lots of bad conclusions, boors us, and is generally really disrespectful of our God. 
The first three episodes will discuss the main characters in the story in an attempt to establish this context.  The first main character is God Himself.  Listen to this and start trying to understand what the Exodus looked like from God's perspective.
