"In the Beginning": Jacob's New Name
We are a fractured people. And by that, I mean both as Americans and as the church. All you need to do is spend a few minutes on Twitter to see how true this is. Politics divide us. Secondary theological issues divide us. We can’t even agree on how to love and care for a lost and hurting world....

"In the Beginning": Jacob and Rachel
When we think of a human’s basic needs—what a person needs to survive—we often think of water, food, and shelter. Give me something to drink and eat and a roof, and I can live indefinitely, right?

"In the Beginning": Isaac and Rebekah
I’m just going to come out and say this up front: we live in a culture with an upside down view of gender. Sure, I am talking about how our culture has rejected binary gender, but I’m not talking about just that. As a culture, we are a people who also are failing to respect and honor both genders...
