Wrestling With God - Knowing God - Genesis 32

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of conflict in relationships with God and others, using Jacob's wrestling with God as a key example.

I’ve never been great at conflict; I’d much rather keep the peace than stir anything up. But real relationships—whether with people or with God—inevitably bring moments of tension that we can’t sidestep forever. Jacob’s night of wrestling shows us that sometimes the struggle is exactly where God meets us. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4unK5NU We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.
