Dear Church,

We are continuing in Genesis this week. On the podcast, Joe, Stephen, and Tim discuss Genesis 35, where Jacob returns to Bethel as a wealthy patriarch and commands his household to put away their foreign gods. They also consider God's renaming of Jacob to Israel and its ties to inheritance and covenant, the role of community in collective worship, and the reconciliation between Jacob and Esau as a call for listeners to pursue forgiveness in their own families. Listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
