Bad Blood | You're Not as Lost as You Think (And God's Not as Far as He Feels) | Craig Smith

About this episode

Craig Smith discusses how Jacob's story in Genesis 28 illustrates that individuals are not as lost as they think and that God is closer than they may feel.

You got what you wanted and lost everything that mattered. Now you're alone in a place you never chose. But Jacob's story in Genesis 28 reveals something you need to hear: you're not as lost as you think. God doesn't wait for you to have it together. He meets you right there.
