EP 136: Multiple Abuses Going On: Abraham and Lot

We are continuing our character studies in the Bible in the perspective of an abuse survivor. We are covering this week, patriarchs Abraham and Lot. We explore such questions such as: Abraham's treatment of his wife Sarah, Lot offering up his virgin daughters to an angry mob, an example of female sexual abuse in the Bible, and the timeless question: Is God loving and merciful in the Old Testament?

What's up? Come on in. Coming to you from Winkler Living Room. I have successfully completed my first surgery this past week. It went really well. Better than I anticipated. Everybody was wonderful at the hospital and I have no pain or, [00:01:00] um, postprocedure bleeding. [00:01:02] And so I was very happy about that. And I do have another surgery coming up on Tuesday. Tuesday will be doing surgery on my right foot. [00:01:13] And then when that's healed up, most likely the end of July, we'll be doing my left foot. And [00:01:21] so I will be on bedrest for two weeks starting on Tuesday. I have spent the last week or so trying to get all of the garden and the yard done. So Brian doesn't have much to do. I do have a neighbor who's a master gardener, and she's gonna come in and check things to make sure that nothing's dying out there. [00:01:46] Brian will be watering. You can do the watering without any problems. And, uh, my neighbor's also bringing us some food, some leftovers. So Brian does not have to cook every night or [00:02:00] they'll just make breakfast in the morning and, uh, we'll have something to reheat at night. That's a big blessing. And my Bible study group, they gave me some gift cards to Uber Eats and a pizza joint nearby, and that's a blessing. [00:02:17] Super big treat. I think my parents will be over to visit with some food as well, and so I am ready to go. Ready to get back into exercise, get back into being without pain. [00:02:30] So anyway, I will have a podcast episode next week from my living room or the bedroom.
