Season 6 | Genesis 27 | Rebekah Changes Everything

It's not an exaggeration to say that Rebekah changes the course of human history. She encourages Jacob to go and get the blessing from Isaac - the blessing that becomes the 12 tribes of Israel.

Her story and her bravery and her cunning should be the stuff of legend, but she's normally just a footnote.

This podcast packs so much into it. Enjoy the final episode of this season.

This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith…

40 Orchards, with Steph and Lisa, invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash.

In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good.

You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org.

Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions.

You can learn more about Processing Faith and sign-up for a free 45 min session by going to processingfaith.com.
