Why do we break what God is building?

Why do we break what God is building? In this Sunday Summary and Deepening episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener brings Genesis 16 through 21 together and shows how pressure exposes fear, compromise, wounded laughter, old patterns, and the human heart. From Hagar in the wilderness, to Abraham and Sarah’s name change, to Sarah’s laughter, to Sodom’s warning, to Abraham lying again, this episode brings the Bible back into its Hebraic and Ancient Near Eastern context and then drives it straight into real life for real people. If you’ve ever forced what God never told you to force, laughed at hope because disappointment hurt too much, drifted too close to compromise, or repeated a fear you thought God had already healed, this episode is for you. God still sees. God still speaks. God still restrains. God still remembers. And God still keeps His word.The Bible Rebinder I Mentioned on the PodcastThis is one of the three Bibles Melissa of MooseWorks Bible restored for me, beautifully rebound with a rugged new cover and exceptional attention to detail.A Bible is more than a book.
