God Stuff

In Episode 117, we go deeper into the topic of Jacob wrestling with God, the story behind it and what it means and why most people give it a different meaning. If you know Jacob's story, you know that his life was full of hardships. God told Jacob that he would be the father of a great nation and a whole group of nations, but Jacob was a very worried man. Jacob's story teaches us that life is never easy. This is true when we battle with God and His will. As Christians, we learn that despite our difficulties and tribulations, God is always with us. In the end, Jacob does what all of us must do. He confronts all the things that are hurting him, including his failures, shortcomings, sins, and more... and faces God. Let’s find out and go bigger, better, and deeper in God’s word!  Episode Timestamps: Intro – [00:00]A Different Take on Jacob Wrestling with God – [02:12]Jacob's Judgment Day – [03:27]Jacob's Approach in Retributive Justice #1: Pray to God – [05:28]Jacob's Approach in Retributive Justice #2: Legalism
