Episode Summary:

Has God ever had to reintroduce Himself to you?

In this episode, we walk through Abraham’s journey from Genesis 15 to Genesis 22 — from promise, to waiting, to failure, to revelation, to surrender.

When Abram and Sarai tried to “help” God fulfill His promise, it wasn’t the end of the story. God didn’t respond with shame — He responded with revelation.

“I am El Shaddai.”

God Almighty. All-sufficient. Powerful enough to fulfill what He promised.

Through Abraham’s journey, we see something profound:

The promise was never just about the promise. It was about knowing the Promiser.

We’ll also explore how endurance training for a marathon mirrors spiritual formation — how God strengthens us over time, replaces worn-out patterns, and invites us to trust His process.

If you’re in a season of waiting…

If you feel like you’ve failed the test…

If you’re tempted to take control…

This episode will remind you who He is.
