In this episode, Matt Rawle discusses his groundbreaking new book, "Faith Over Fear: Abraham's Imperfect Journey," offering a fresh perspective on the biblical figure of Abraham. Forget the idealized image – Matt argues that Abraham's story is far more complex and, at times, problematic. He unpacks instances where Abraham's actions, such as including Lot as a "backup plan" and his shocking decision to have Sarah pose as his sister to Pharaoh, actively endangered God's covenant. This insightful conversation emphasizes the humanity and fallibility of even the most revered biblical characters, illustrating God's incredible patience and unwavering plan. Matt also shares a fascinating observation: could Abraham have kept God's promise a secret from Sarah, potentially creating significant tension in their marriage? Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of faith, flaws, and the enduring grace of God.Connect with the Bearded Theologians at https://www.linktr.ee/BeardedtheologiansFind all of Matt Rawle's books h
