Abraham and Isaac: Painful Obedience


Listen Later

In today's episode, we explore one of the most heart-wrenching and faith-defining moments in all of Scripture—Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac in obedience to God’s command (Genesis 22). We reflect on the weight of Abraham’s obedience, the testing of his faith, and the foreshadowing of God’s ultimate provision.

Why would God ask for such a sacrifice? What does this story teach us about trust, surrender, and the cost of following God? Join us as we unpack the theological significance of this passage, affirm God’s sovereignty and goodness, and draw encouragement for our own walk of obedience—even when it’s painful.

Tune in and be reminded that God always provides—and that our faith, when tested, is refined for His glory.
