    A study of Genesis Chapter 32

    Jacob wrestles all night and leaves with two things: a new name and a limp. Same is true today—no one walks without wounds. Behind every smile is a battle. Behind every victory, a bruise. Yet God loves using limping people to do lasting things. If He can use Jacob with a limp, Paul with a thorn, Moses with a stutter, and Peter with a temper, He can use you with whatever you carry.

    A study of Genesis Chapter 31

    Genesis 31 gives us two striking contrasts. Rachel steals Laban’s idols—likely securing Jacob’s inheritance rights, since household gods symbolized legal authority. Then we see Laban, who uses people to gain wealth, and Jacob, who uses wealth to bless people. One hoards. One shares. Scripture invites us to choose which kind of person we want to be.

    A study of Genesis Chapter 27

    From Esau and Jacob to the long line of biblical “heroes,” Genesis 27 reveals a repeating pattern: God bypasses the obvious choice and works through messy, broken people. This episode explores deception, blessing, and why honesty ultimately matters more than image.

    A study of Genesis Chapter 26

    When the Bible repeats a story, it’s rarely accidental. In this episode, Josh explores Genesis 26’s parallels with Abraham’s failures, then turns it inward with one haunting question: based on your life, how would your kids describe the God you serve?

    A study of Genesis Chapter 25

    Genesis 25 introduces Jacob and Esau—and a fateful trade of inheritance for soup. Josh reflects on impulsivity, why we so often trade what we want most for what we want now, and how Jesus finally breaks that cycle.
