Lamar and Kerry discuss the moving story of Jacob, Rachel, Leah, Billah and Zilpah, and the birth of their 12 sons, and the creation of the House of Israel. They also discuss whether or not God has a chosen people, what it means to be of the House of Israel, and what we should do about it today. You can learn more about this on his website about it, and in the many podcasts, firesides and devotionals found there. You can also read or listen to his latest work on this topic here.
