Wrestling with the Word: The Disturbing Story of Jepthah

About this episode

Pastor Siyoung and guests discuss the troubling story of Jephthah and its implications.

In this episode, Pastor Siyoung hosts alongside Pastor Jacob and Hwihu as they wrestle through the troubling story of Jephthah; a military hero whose rash vow leads to one of the most disturbing moments in all of Scripture. They walk through what actually happened, why it unsettles us, how to interpret it honestly, and what lessons we can carry with us from a story we might rather skip over.
