The story of Jacob is a difficult one to digest. In almost all of the stories of Jacob's life, there is an element of deception, either Jacob deceiving others, usually his own family members, or those same family members manipulating or deceiving him. Even Jacob's birth seems to hint at this deception, with Jacob grabbing onto the heal of his brother Esau. In this podcast, Warren goes it alone to talk about deception and how Jacob could have embraced the role of the "sly fox," deciding to lean into the role that see,Ed destined for him. But he does not. In a plot twist that no one sees coming, Jacob deals justly with his uncle, Laben, whom has deceived Jacob, and demonstrates that we don't have to live down to the expectations of others. We can choose to rise to the expectations that God has for us.
