Letter 014 — The Address: Most of Us Are Terah (Genesis 12 + Genesis 11)

God's first imperative in the covenant story is go. So why is most of our life shaped by stay? Today we look at the triple separation in modern life, and the father in Genesis 11 who started a journey and stopped halfway.In this letter- The triple separation read internally — country (the values of the culture), family (inherited loyalties), father's house (the deepest stuff our parents handed us)- Three questions lekh lekha keeps asking us today- The Terah problem — Genesis 11:31, the father who started and quit- Why a stalled faith can look like real faith for a long time- The honest question — what is keeping you halfway?- The pastoral note — lekh lekha is invitation, not punishmentScripture- Genesis 12:1- Genesis 11:31 (Terah's unfinished journey)The question to sit withWhat is keeping you halfway between where you started and where God called you?Coming tomorrow | The Whole Letter.
