About this Episode

In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will dive into Genesis 12, where God calls Abraham—the father of faith—into a journey that will shape the future of humanity. But Abraham's story is far from perfect. From his humble beginnings as a pagan worshiper to his shocking failures and moments of doubt, this episode explores how God's faithfulness triumphs over human flaws.

Why did God choose Abraham, a man who wasn’t even seeking Him? What does Abraham’s story reveal about God’s grace and relentless pursuit of His people? Sam and Will unpack these questions and more, showing how Abraham's journey mirrors our own struggles with trust, identity, and God's promises.

This episode is a powerful reminder that God doesn’t choose us because we're perfect—He chooses us because He is. Whether you’re wrestling with doubt or needing a fresh reminder of God’s grace, this conversation is for you.
