In one of the darkest and most unsettling chapters of Genesis, Sam and Will take a raw and redemptive look at the fallout from Sodom’s destruction. In Genesis 19, we follow Lot into isolation, fear, and a cave that becomes the setting for one of Scripture’s most disturbing stories.

What happens when compromise defines a life? What legacy does Lot leave behind in his daughters—and how does the culture of Sodom follow them into the wilderness? As uncomfortable as this story is, Sam and Will wrestle with its relevance for modern parenting, identity, and what it means to raise children in a broken world.

But even here—in the darkest cave—God’s redemptive plan is still unfolding. Through shocking twists of providence, the line of Lot will ultimately lead to Ruth… and to Jesus. This episode explores how God redeems even the worst of our stories to bring about His glory and grace.
