Which way do you go when the path that looks best isn't necessarily the path of faith?As we continue through Genesis, Abram and Lot have returned from Egypt. Their households have grown, the land can no longer support them together, and a choice has to be made. But the choices in these chapters go far beyond which piece of land to take.As I studied Genesis 13:5–16:5, I kept noticing people standing at these moments of decision. Lot has a choice. Abram has choices. Sarai has a choice. And underneath each one is a question that reaches far beyond their story: What will govern the way we go? What God has said? What we can see? What seems reasonable? What the culture around us accepts? Or what we think we need to make happen ourselves?In this episode, we’ll explore:• The growing contrast between Abram and Lot• Lot’s choices and the progression toward Sodom• Why the New Testament calling Lot “righteous” makes his story even more sobering• Abram’s rescue of Lot and the battle of Genesis 14• Melchizedek and the connection Hebrews makes to Christ• Abram’s encounter with the king of Sodom• “Counted to him as righteousness” and why the New Testament keeps returning to Genesis 15:6• The covenant ceremony of Genesis 15• Why Abram is put into a deep sleep while God passes between the pieces• What happens when waiting turns into taking matters into our own hands• Sarai, Hagar, and an unexpected echo of Genesis 3• The difference between trusting God’s promise and trying to accomplish the outcome ourselvesSCRIPTURES & CROSS-REFERENCESGenesis 2–3Genesis 13:5–16:5Psalm 110Matthew 25:1–13Romans 41 Corinthians 3Galatians 3Hebrews 7James 22 Peter 2CHAPTERSTimestamps will be added after the episode is processed.STUDY ALONG WITH THE PODCASTYou can now listen to Go Slow.
