About this listen
n one of the most powerful and prophetic episodes yet, Sam and Will unpack Genesis 22—the unforgettable story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son Isaac. Often misunderstood as brutal or troubling, this chapter actually reveals one of the clearest foreshadowings of Jesus in the entire Bible.
Why would God ask such a thing? What’s really going on when Abraham lays Isaac on the altar, and what does this teach us about faith, trust, and resurrection? This episode explores the tension, beauty, and deep gospel truth behind the story—from the location (Mount Moriah, later Jerusalem), to Isaac carrying the wood, to God's last-minute provision of a ram caught in a thicket.
This isn’t a story of cruelty—it’s a story of a Father’s love, a Son’s willingness, and a God who provides. Join The Bible Show for a moving, eye-opening journey through the climax of Abraham’s faith and a preview of the gospel to come.
