We are very excited to start a new series today for the month of June called “What do I know her from?” We’ll be doing weekly episodes that each dig deeper into the back story of an important woman in scripture that you may have vaguely heard of but don’t know her full story. Today we’re starting with sisters Leah and Rachel. They are known for their rivalry, but that conflict arose from generation patterns of deceit and competition that got passed onto them. Their story is powerful and interesting, and is also a window into the things that women inherit and what it can look like for us to break generational patterns.
Read along with us:
Gen. 29
Gen. 30:1-22
Gen. 49:18
Gen. 48:7
1 Sam. 2:10
