Summary

Jeremy is joined by his wife April, and friends Michelle Akrami and Brittany Stewart to discuss the story of Rebekah, Isaac's wife, in Genesis.

How does this story of a mother and her two sons impact our view of motherhood? Did God work through her trying to do things "her way", or did God work in spite of her attempt to ensure her favorite son was blessed?

Whatever the implications, we hope this episode gives you pause to think through what the meta narrative is telling us, and allows you to approach Scripture in a thoughtful and curious way to really let it sink in.

On this episode, we talk about:

2:30 Rebekah as a mother in Genesis

11:55 Moms react to Rebekah

19:39 Did Rebekah help or attempt to hinder God's plan?

40:38 What can moms take away from Rebekah?

0:35.8

wife, April, who just, we just had our granddaughter. We were just

0:39.2

talking about this. So, April, you want to explain what just happened in our family?

1:48.7

And everything here, I think, is really important to see through, like, the lens of family and motherhood.

1:55.0

And how do we understand these things in light of the, especially the fascinating narratives that we have in in the
