Uncover the intricate dance between faith and fear as we explore Abram's journey into Egypt, in today’s episode of PREPPED.
By unpacking the events of Genesis 12:10-20, where Abram’s decision to present Sarai as his sister, James Spencer, PhD, digs into Abram’s profound struggle of leaning on his own understanding rather than trusting God’s plan. As we explore the cultural context of ancient Near Eastern beliefs and the concept of territorial gods, we reflect on how these themes mirror our own responses to crises.
In this episode, we’ll also be drawing striking parallels between Abram’s journey and the later Exodus, revealing God’s unwavering faithfulness despite human frailty. Through the lens of ancient customs and the recurring motif of "seeing, judging, and taking," we’ll uncover the enduring nature of God’s covenantal promises and His redemptive actions across generations.
