013 - Genesis 22: Awkward Father-Son Camping Trip

2025-05-27

Welcome to The Holy Chit-Chat, where we talk theology with a little sass and a lot of snacks (yes... we have so many snacks 😅). In Episode 13, we're diving into one of the Bible’s biggest “WAIT, HOLD UP” moments — Genesis 22, a.k.a. that time God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and Abraham... actually went for it?! 😳 Yeah, that chapter. We talk tests of faith, divine drama, and what it means to really trust God when the stakes are literally your child’s life (no pressure, Abe). Plus, we ask the big questions: ...

Welcome to The Holy Chit-Chat, where we talk theology with a little sass and a lot of snacks (yes... we have so many snacks 😅).

In Episode 13, we're diving into one of the Bible’s biggest “WAIT, HOLD UP” moments — Genesis 22, a.k.a. that time God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and Abraham... actually went for it?!

😳 Yeah, that chapter.

We talk tests of faith, divine drama, and what it means to really trust God when the stakes are literally your child’s life (no pressure, Abe). Plus, we ask the big questions:

Why did God ask Abraham to do something so extreme?
Was Isaac just chill with this whole thing? (... did he get therapy after this?)
What’s up with the ram in the bushes — coincidence or God’s divine DoorDash?
And how in the world does this story point straight to Jesus?

It’s serious stuff, but you know we’re keeping it real, wrestling with the hard parts, and probably making a few too many sarcastic comments along the way. Classic Holy Chit-Chat vibes.

Scripture Highlight: Genesis 22
Theme: Faith, trust, awkward father-son camping trips
Spiritual Snack: God provides. Always. Even when it looks nothing like what we expect.

💥 Holy Extras:

Read along in Genesis 22
Also check out: Hebrews 11 (the faith flex chapter), James 2, and John 1:29
Book shoutout: From Eden to Egypt by Alex Duke — great if you love digging deeper and sarcasm with a touch of random
