#176 - When Surrendering to God is Hard

Update: 2025-10-27

Description

Have you noticed how God’s tests are always pop quizzes?

That’s because they’re designed to reveal who we are, not what we know. In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re turning to Genesis where we’ll see Jacob face one of God’s most challenging tests: surrender.

It’s a powerful lesson in why God asks us to trust Him—and why we can.
