Wrestling with God takes on literal meaning in the remarkable story of Jacob. As we dive deep into Genesis, we uncover a patriarch whose life defies our expectations of what a "biblical hero" should be.

This episode challenges our sanitized understanding of faith. The biblical narrative doesn't whitewash Jacob's flaws or present his journey as a neat moral lesson. Instead, it shows how God works through and despite human failings. If you've ever felt your spiritual life is more struggle than serenity, Jacob's story offers profound reassurance that wrestling with God isn't failure—it's the essence of authentic relationship with the divine.

Join us as we trace Jacob's journey from trickster to patriarch, exploring how this deeply human figure becomes the foundation of Israel's identity and a crucial link in salvation history. Your own spiritual wrestling matches might look different after hearing this story.
