Why A Test? | Genesis 22

Season 3 | Why A Test? | Genesis 22 Why does God test Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac? This story is troubling on multiple levels...and has left many wondering what it could mean. We don't solve it, but we do enjoy asking some good questions. __ We have started a Patreon site for those who would like to financially support this podcast.

In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good. You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org. Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions.
