Hey everyone, this is Taylor Halverson from Book of Mormon Central.

We've had a lot of requests to add our weekly Come Follow Me videos with myself and Tyler Griffin to our podcast.

We are very excited to do this. However, just know that we use a lot of visuals in our videos.

So if you ever want to see the visuals, check out Book of Mormon Central on YouTube.

We hope you enjoy. I'm Taylor. And I'm Tyler. And I'm Gay Strathen. This is Book of Mormon Central's

Come Follow Me Insights. Today, Genesis chapter 28 through 33. And we're with our friend and colleague

and ancient scripture expert Gay Stratham. Tell us a bit about yourself.

Well, I come from the land down under, and I've been here for quite a number of years now,

going to school. And one of the things that I love most is thinking about and studying the

Bible, so I'm really happy to be here.

And she's got some great insights, some really, really useful insights for us today about

God's covenants and Jacob coming to learn about God's covenants for him.

And you know, as we jump into today's lesson, I think it would be really helpful for you

to get a little bit of perspective from Gaye on how this block of chapters that we're going to cover today

actually has a huge impact on us today. But first, if you look at what we're going to cover,

chapter 28 through 33, to set the stage, Gay, what would you tell him from your perspective from last week's

lesson where that whole experience with Isaac being blind and old and wanting to give

the birthright to Issa and then Rebecca and Jacob kind of supplanting that blessing?

What insights there? Well, one of the things that I love about

Jacob is he's a multi-dimensional figure, right? He's not two-dimensional at all. And we see a lot of

kind of experiences with him. We see him having clearly a desire for spiritual things like his grandfather, Abraham,

and seeking after the birthright, both with Esau and then with his dad.
