Hey friends! Welcome back to The Holy Chit-Chat — your weekly walk through the weird, wild, and sometimes what-on-earth stories of the Bible. This week, we're diving into Genesis 19, and let us tell you… this one’s heavy.
We’re talking fire from the sky, a city gone wild, angels showing up like secret agents, Lot being kind of the worst, and a wife who turns into salt because she looked over her shoulder. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, the last few verses are some of the most uncomfortable in all of Genesis (yeah… we talk about that too).
In this episode:
Why were the men of Sodom so obsessed with the visitors?
What was Lot thinking offering up his daughters?
Why did God destroy the city and only save Lot and his family?
What's up with Lot’s wife, and is “looking back” really about glancing behind you?
And yes… we go there with the cave scene at the end. We had to.
We know—it’s a lot. But we’re here to read it honestly, wrestle with it openly, and see what God might be saying through it all.
Key takeaway? Even when everything’s on fire, literally and metaphorically, God still extends mercy. Sometimes it looks like angels dragging you out of town by the hand.
🔥 Heads-up: This episode deals with mature themes—might not be the best one for little ears.
