Genesis 18-23 Part 1 • Dr. Carli Anderson • Feb. 23 - Mar. 1 • Come, Follow Me •
Description
What happens when we read the stories of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar through an ancient lens instead of modern assumptions? Dr. Carli Anderson joins hosts Hank Smith and John Bytheway to explore the legal, and linguistic depth of these foundational narratives, revealing Sarah’s majesty, Hagar’s complexity, and the deeply personal, covenant-centered relationship God forms with each of them.
