Episode Details

Abram and Sarai are 86. God promised a family. Nothing is happening. So Sarai comes up with a plan. In this episode of Beers With Jesus, Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 16 in The Message: Hagar, Ishmael, jealousy in the household, and what happens when you try to force a promise God already made.We talk about:

• Why “they’re old as hell” is the whole setup
• Sarai’s idea, Abram going along, and “it’s all your fault”
• Whether this speeds God’s plan up, slows it down, or just makes life more chaotic
• Polygamy in Genesis, jealousy that runs both ways, and why the workaround never stays in its box
• Hagar in the desert: “You’re the God who sees me”
• Waiting on God when the promise is taking decades

Scripture: Genesis 16 (The Message)
Next week: Genesis 17 (the chapter Carrie prepped by accident)
