On this episode, Raechel and Amanda visit with Pastor Scott Sauls. They discuss the hard stories of Genesis, seeing glimpses of Christ throughout the Old Testament, and the comforting fact that there’s nothing we go through that Jesus hasn’t been through Himself. They explore what suffering teaches us about God, taking notes in Bibles, and why there’s nothing better than eye contact with a great dog.

Concerning the location of Isaac’s near-sacrifice, Genesis 22:2 tells us that God commanded Abraham to take Isaac to “the land of Moriah.” In 2 Chronicles 3:1, we’re told the temple was built on Mount Moriah. Jesus was crucified at a place called Golgotha (John 19:17–18), which was a short distance from the temple mount.
