Join us on Mysteries of God's Word, where we explore the captivating saga of Jacob's escape from Laban, as detailed in Genesis 31. Jacob, once a deceived and downtrodden servant, finds strength and direction through divine guidance, setting the stage for an epic journey back to his homeland. With a promise from God in a dream that sets him in action, Jacob then begins to navigate the tumultuous waters of family. We unravel the complexities of Jacob's relationship with his wives, Rachel and Leah, as they grapple with the promise of a divine future against the backdrop of their father's deceit.

We invite you to reflect on the themes of divine providence and the trials of faith, as we prepare for the unfolding confrontation between Jacob and Laban in our next episode.
