About this listen

Genesis 16

Ever wondered how ancient laws about surrogate mothers connect to one of the most profound names for God in the Bible? Dive into the messy, complicated story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar—where good intentions collide with weak faith and create consequences that echo through history. This episode unpacks Genesis 16, exploring how our tendency to "help God out" with clever shortcuts often creates more problems than solutions. Discover why an exploited Egyptian slave becomes the only person in Genesis to give God a name, and how this ancient family drama points us straight to Jesus. Perfect for anyone who's ever been tempted to speed up God's timeline or wondered if He really sees their struggles.
