Episode 10 - Before the Gospel Spread… This Promise Was Made

What if the global reach of the gospel started way earlier than we realized?In this episode, we look at God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12, a moment that can seem small at first, but ends up shaping the entire story of Scripture.God tells Abraham:“All peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”At first, that sounds like a promise about one family line.But then we get to Galatians 3, where Paul says the gospel was being announced beforehand… all the way back in Genesis.That connection completely changed how we saw this passage.Because suddenly, this wasn’t just about Abraham anymore.It was about blessing spreading outward.Across nations.Across generations.Across the world.We talk through covenant, faith, blessing, and the surprising way the New Testament looks back at this moment as part of the gospel story itself.We’re not theologians. We didn’t go to seminary.We’re just two ordinary people from Iowa asking questions, noticing patterns, and learning a lot along the way.And honestly… this episode made the Bible feel more connected than ever.Come explore it with us.Genesis 12:3Galatians 3:8–9
