This episode explores the poignant story of Genesis 16, where Abram and Sarai, impatient with God's promise, take matters into their own hands. Sarai suggests Abram have a child through her servant Hagar, leading to unforeseen consequences. We'll examine the themes of impatience versus trust, the repercussions of their choices, God's compassion for Hagar, the significance of Ishmael's name, and the seeds of future conflict.
Join us as we unpack this chapter, exploring the human struggle with faith and the enduring lessons about trusting God's promises, even in times of waiting.
