Rachel steals her father's household idols, Laban chases Jacob down with murder on his mind, and God shows up to terrify him into silence. Dr. John Neufeld unpacks this dramatic showdown to ask a question many Christians avoid: what does it actually mean to fear God, and why does Scripture call it the beginning of wisdom? Along the way, he takes a hard look at the idols we still cling to today.

Amazing Promises to Dysfunctional People: In this 20-message series, Dr. John Neufeld walks through the dysfunctional family of Abraham found in Genesis 25-36, uncovering the relational brokenness at its core. Sin leaves human relationships fractured—we long for connection, yet find ourselves divided in so many ways. Listen in, and be challenged to live with integrity even when the world around you feels like it's falling apart.
