    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! In this week's episode, we cover Genesis chapters 16-19. Abram and Sarai are settled into a routine on the ranch, but they're still childless, and discontent is brewing. That's not all that's brewing, as God gets wind of some pretty disgusting stuff going on in Sodom and Gomorrah and decides to investigate for Himself. It doesn't turn out well for the Sodomites. And Lot's daughters do the unthinkable. Warning: This episode may be uncomfortable for more sensitive listeners. Please be aware that some of the situations we cover are adult in nature. ** Warning: Mature themes **Your mellifluous co-host, in her own wordsAbram and Sarai have been through a lot togetherSarai's got nothing in the ovenAbram and Sarai get impatient with GodCall him IshmaelGoats in sneakersEl Shaddai - a new god or a new name for God?Does El Shaddai's include Ishmael?Finallly!

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! In this episode, we talk about Genesis chapters 5-11. God's just about had it with people and ready to wipe them out. But there's this one family that presents a possibility for a righteous thread of humanity. "Everybody, meet Noah. Noah, this is 'everybody.' We think they'd like to hear your story." Also, how did we get from one family in one land with one language to the modern craziness? Life is like a box of soap operas. And so is the Old TestamentThe fabled EnochThe Nephalim, wicked giants in the earth! Mankind is evil and God's truly had it with them. Really. Like, totally done. Except... there's this one guy.
