Leaving What’s Familiar: Abram’s Calling and Breaking Family Patterns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if everything you thought you knew about Abraham’s journey was missing the real story? In this episode of our Family Dysfunction series, we dig into Genesis 12 and Joshua 24:2 to uncover what most people miss: Abram didn’t start holy. He came from a family of idol worshippers. God called him out of generational patterns, cultural idolatry, and familiar dysfunction to pioneer something entirely new. We also dive into personal territory as my mom shares her own "Abram Moment" — hitting rock b
Did God Call Terah First? (Family Dynamics | Genesis 11) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Did God actually speak to Terah before He called Abraham? In Genesis 11, the biblical narrative suddenly shifts from the scattering of nations at Babel straight down to one single household: Terah’s family. In this episode of our Family Dynamics series, we explore the bridge between the Tower of Babel and Abraham's journey toward Canaan. We break down the ancient Near Eastern structure of the beit 'av (the father’s household), the weight of Haran’s untimely death, and the idolatrous cultural pre
Why God Had To Destroy The Tower of Babel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the Tower of Babel was never just about a tall tower, but about a culture trying to manage God on its own terms? In this episode of Brave Conversations, we flip this familiar Genesis story on its head to look at what was actually happening beneath the surface—and how false unity leads directly to brokenness. Drawing from Genesis 11, ancient Near Eastern history, and the scholarly work of John Walton, we unpack why unity wasn’t the core issue at Babel. Instead, we trace how the ziggurat s
What People Miss About the Tower of Babel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before God called Abraham, humanity was spiraling into division, pride, and rebellion. In Episode 4 (Part 1) of our Brave Conversations family series, we explore how cultural rebellion directly fractures family lineages—starting with the transition between Genesis 10 and Genesis 11. We break down the literary structure Moses used to expose the roots of human pride, the ancient cultural world of Southern Mesopotamia, and the true biblical significance of Nimrod. As humanity gathered at Babel to "
You Can't Inherit a Relationship With God — Here's Why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the biggest threat to your faith isn't rebellion — it's leaning on someone else's? In Part 7 of Episode 3 in our Family Dynamics series, we wrap up Noah's story by getting painfully honest about the coping mechanisms we inherit — from morbid humor to gossip — and why recognizing dysfunction and breaking dysfunction are two very different things. I get real about the moment I had to "stop riding the coattails of my mom's faith" and build my own relationship with God. Together, we explore
