How did God protect him on his journey to Laban's house? Is Laban a villain or a complicated man? How did Rachel and Jacob fall in love? Why was Leah switched with her sister to be married to Jacob? Is cousin marriage allowed in scripture? Is polygamy allowed in scripture? What should Jacob have done to better control his messed up marriages? How was God sovereign throughout this whole ordeal? Why would Laban cheat Jacob if he knew he was the reason he had been doing so well? Why did Jacob flee back home? Why would Rachel steal an idol from home if she worshiped God? How was the final dispute between Jacob and Laban settled?

Happy birthday Dr. Seuss!

What does it mean to speak for the trees? Today we are beginning our month long series Celebrate March where in each episode I will be sitting down to talk about someone who was born in the month of March who made an impact on faith, religion, pop culture, and in some cases all of the above. In this episode, my wife Claire joins the show to discuss the Illumination film The Lorax based on the book by Dr. Seuss. We discuss the impact Dr. Seuss continues to have on children's literature and entertainment. We give our honest thoughts on Illumination and their impact on children's entertainment. As we review the film, we get into the anti-capitalism, anti-industrialization, pro-environmental messages of the film and how we as Christians should respond to messages like that.

Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

Theology Beer Camp 2024: The Return of the God Pods

Come see us at this year's Theology Beer Camp in Denver, CO!

Why did Rebekah want Jacob to lie to Isaac? Was Isaac wrong to favor Esau? If the birthright was already Jacob's, why was it likewise wrong for him to steal the blessing too? Is there a reason craftiness isn't always the best idea? What was the purpose of the blessing? How did Isaac's blindness come into play for this interaction? What blessing did Esau receive? Why did Jacob have to flee his home to Laban's house? How did Esau learn the wrong lesson from Isaac and Rebekah wanting Jacob to marry better than him? How was God faithful to Jacob in the midst of this flight?
