S7E5 - RFWOT - Sarah: Faithfulness Through Laughter

In the latest episode of Treading Faith, hosts Yemi and Philia examine the journey of Sarah, formerly Sarai, as depicted in Hebrews 11 and Genesis. Once skeptical, Sarah’s story is about embracing faith despite natural impossibilities, such as conceiving a child at age 90. Through scripture, they explore Sarah’s initial doubt—symbolized by laughter—and how it transformed into a testament of faith when she bore Isaac, whose name means 'God has brought me laughter.' The hosts delve into Sarah’s challenges, including her decision to involve Hagar and how it complicates God's promise, ultimately highlighting the need for patience and trust in divine timing.
