On this week's episode Joe and Tim walk through Genesis 15, where God appears to Abram in a vision and reaffirms His promise of a son and countless descendants. They trace the broader story of Genesis—from creation and fall to flood and Babel—showing how God’s call of Abram in Genesis 12 begins a focused plan to bless the world through one family. Abram wrestles with the apparent contradiction between God’s promise and his childlessness, but God assures him that a biological son will come and that his descendants will be as numerous as the stars, and Abram’s belief is counted to him as righteousness. When Abram asks for assurance about inheriting the land, God establishes a formal covenant through an ancient blood-rite ceremony, but strikingly, God alone passes between the pieces, unilaterally binding Himself to the promise. The hosts highlight how this covenant foreshadows key Christian themes—grace, imputed righteousness, and a salvation grounded not in human performance but in God’s faithful initiative.
