What if your biggest wrestle isn’t against your circumstances, but against your own desires—and God’s grace is waiting to meet you there? In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Ryan Britt, and Ali Parsons unpack the Jacob & Esau narrative to show how our fight for control, identity, and blessing still echoes today.
