EP 137: The Great Faith Of Abraham And Isaac

We are discussing the story of Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac on this week's show. Is there another perspective on this difficult narrative? Is Abraham a horrible parent? Why would God ask them to do this? These questions and more we will explore, with a few alternative views presented. Be brave and join me on some challenging passages in the Bible.

Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. [00:00:26] Now here is Diana. [00:00:33] Hello everybody. I'm coming to you live from the Winkler couch with my foot propped up on lots of pillows. Now I am not gonna show you the picture, my boot, you've all seen a boot before. [00:00:51] But maybe later I can show you my scar when it gets, more healed up and I can take the boot off and wear regular shoes. [00:01:00] So, as you probably can gather that my foot surgery went well, very successful. [00:01:10] I don't have any pain with some Advil and Tylenol. Overall. Everything went great. So I am still here to do a podcast episode with you. [00:01:23] I'm bored anyway out of my mind, so [00:01:29] why not, right? I can sleep, I can watch tv, surf Facebook, but. I'm gonna do a podcast episode for you, and I mentioned last week that we were going to do Abraham and Isaac, Abraham sacrificing Isaac, and I mentioned last week that I almost didn't do this one because it's difficult. It's not. [00:01:58] It's not an easy study[00:02:00] because the majority of our society tends to think that this is child abuse. We're going to talk about that, but as always, God is recording things as they happen. And there are always lessons to be learned even in the difficult Bible passages. Even the ones we don't understand a hundred percent.
