In this emotionally rich and deeply relatable episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will unpack Genesis 20—a chapter often skipped, yet loaded with personal crisis, spiritual wrestling, and stunning grace. After witnessing the destruction of Sodom, Abraham's faith is shaken. He repeats an old sin, lying about Sarah and putting God's covenant promise in jeopardy.

But while Abraham falters, God doesn’t. Enter Abimelech, a pagan king who unexpectedly becomes the moral compass of the chapter. As Abraham spirals, God steps in—not just to protect Sarah and the covenant, but to invite Abraham back into trust.

This episode explores the tension between faith and failure, the sovereignty of God over our worst decisions, and the surprising truth that even when God’s people fall, His purposes don’t. It's a story about undeserved mercy, persistent grace, and the one true Hero of the Bible—God Himself.

In one of the darkest and most unsettling chapters of Genesis, Sam and Will take a raw and redemptive look at the fallout from Sodom’s destruction. In Genesis 19, we follow Lot into isolation, fear, and a cave that becomes the setting for one of Scripture’s most disturbing stories.

What happens when compromise defines a life? What legacy does Lot leave behind in his daughters—and how does the culture of Sodom follow them into the wilderness? As uncomfortable as this story is, Sam and Will wrestle with its relevance for modern parenting, identity, and what it means to raise children in a broken world.

But even here—in the darkest cave—God’s redemptive plan is still unfolding. Through shocking twists of providence, the line of Lot will ultimately lead to Ruth… and to Jesus. This episode explores how God redeems even the worst of our stories to bring about His glory and grace.
