The Carry On Cast Ep. 336

Pastor Megan, Pastor Erik, and Pastor Kevin discuss Genesis 32:24-28. Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. – v24a. Jacob is a trickster and sees all of his tricks coming back to catch him. But God stands in the way with a wrestling match that will leave him wounded and clear of his calling. He’ll come out of the wrestling match with a new name and a new closeness with God. Maybe that’s something we can learn from, as people of faith–that wrestling with God may be part of being human, and one of the ways we grow in faith and love.
