Why would Abraham repeat the same fear-driven compromise after everything God had already promised?
In this episode, Dr. Shawn M. Greener teaches Genesis 20 and shows how old fear can bring back old patterns, even in the lives of people who truly know God. This passage is honest, humbling, and deeply hopeful. It shows that fear often disguises itself as wisdom, that half-truths used to manipulate are still lies, and that God’s covenant faithfulness is stronger than our cracked obedience.
With Ancient Near Eastern insight, Hebraic context, and direct modern application, this message helps listeners identify repeating fear patterns and return to trust in the God who confronts, protects, humbles, and restores.

The Bible Rebinder I Mentioned on the Podcast
This is one of the three Bibles Melissa of MooseWorks Bible restored for me, beautifully rebound with a rugged new cover and exceptional attention to detail.
A Bible is more than a book. It is often a treasury of prayers, notes, promises, memories, and the record of a life spent seeking God.
If you have a treasured Bible that deserves to be preserved with excellence, I am honored to recommend Melissa of MooseWorks Bible.
Her work is marked by beautiful craftsmanship, thoughtful detail, and genuine kindness. She does not simply repair Bibles. She helps preserve the story they carry.
