S7E7 - RFWOT - Jacob and the Scheme that Rebecca Set Up ...

In this episode of Treading Faith, Yemi and Philia explore the complex story of Jacob, a key figure in the Old Testament Hall of Faith. Despite his deceitful acquisition of Esau's birthright, Jacob's life is marked by significant spiritual experiences, including a divine dream and wrestling with God. These moments highlight God's promises and Jacob's eventual understanding and faith. The hosts question whether Jacob was always destined for these blessings, suggesting that his journey teaches us about God's foresight and forgiveness. Jacob's tale exemplifies how faith and divine providence work through even the most imperfect of actions.
