Relationships: Singleness, Polygamy, and Blessing

What this episode covers

Relationships Series This is week three of our Relationships series. In this series we are looking at the life of Jacob and the way God redemptively used Jacob's relationships to bring about promise and deliverance for his people. In This Episode Brad is back from vacation and in this episode, he and Dan focus on Genesis 28-29 and discuss Jacob's life and relationships including questions like: Jacob had multiple wive - what do we do when we read the bible and encounter stories that seem so distant culturally from our own? Does the bible condone polygamy (no!). How can we see our own messiness in Jacob's story? What do Jacob and Downton Abbey have in common? What does the word "blessing" mean and why is it such a big deal in the bible? Resources referenced in this episode: Book: Paul Copan, Is God a Moral Monster?: Making Sense of the Old Testament God.
