Blessed & Broken (8): When the Deceiver is Deceived
from thinking out loud
Richie Reeder explores Genesis 29 and the story of Jacob, Leah, Rachel, and Laban, honestly naming the discomfort of patriarchal polygamy, deception, family dysfunction, and cultural brokenness. He shows how Jacob, the deceiver, becomes deceived, revealing the blind spots, unhealthy patterns, and relational wounds that run through the story. Yet the message emphasizes that God remains faithful in the midst of human brokenness, working through imperfect people and painful circumstances without endorsing the dysfunction itself.
