Episode 59 - Why does God bless the bad guy?

from The Next Step Podcast Hosted by St Paul's Anglican Carlingford

This week on The Extras, Sam Russell and Jack Day are diving in to a great set of questions flowing out of the story of God’s decision to bless Jacob, the deceiver, rather than his older and favourite brother Esau. We’re tackling: - What is a ‘blessing’? - What is the difference between the ‘blessing’ and the ‘birthright’? - Why does Isaac require food before giving his blessing? - Did Jacob and Esau have other brothers? (verse 29?) - Why does God use deceitful ways to bless? - Is God responsible for the trouble, given that he chose the younger brother? - and more!
