Join Nathan and Brad for a gripping dive into Genesis 22, the heart-wrenching story of Abraham’s test to sacrifice his son Isaac. With their Southern charm and theological insight, they unpack this challenging narrative, exploring Abraham’s faith, God’s sovereignty, and the profound foreshadowing of Christ’s sacrifice. From the cultural context of ancient pagan practices to the hope of eternal life, this episode connects the dots between Abraham’s obedience and Jesus’ ultimate act of love. Tune in for a lively discussion that wrestles with tough questions and points to the gospel!Intro Readings:Christian perspective excerpt from The Gifts of the Jews by Thomas Cahill.Muslim perspective from the Quran, Surah 37:99–113.Jewish perspective from But Where Is the Lamb? by James Goodman.---------------------------------------------------------------------We are sponsored by Baba Java Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster and cafe based in Birmingham, AL.
