Join in as we discuss Genesis 32, where we find Jacob at a crossroads. He is returning to Canaan after twenty years away, but he knows that his brother Esau is still angry with him for stealing their father’s blessing. Jacob is afraid but not paralyzed; prayerful and yet proactive!
It is also a story about Jacob’s wrestling match with God. In the end, Jacob is given a new name, Israel, meaning “he who struggles with God.” He and we are powerfully reminded that God is always with us, even in the midst of the struggle.
