Welcome to What in the Word, the podcast where we look at bits of the Bible that often get missed and ask "why is this exciting?" In today's episode, we look at Genesis 31, focusing on the peculiar story of Laban's idols and Rachel's theft of them.

This narrative highlights the theme of God's protection and blessing over Jacob, despite, not because, of human deception.
