Abraham’s story shows how God builds a nation through faith, not shortcuts. Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian continue their study of Genesis, tracing the tension between Sarah’s quick fix with Hagar and God’s covenant promise, revealing how Abraham’s failures paved the way for his legendary faith.
