About this episode
In this episode, we explore the biblical story of Sarai, Abram, and Hagar, focusing on Sarai's desperation to bear a child and the cultural context of surrogacy in the ancient Near East. We also examine Hagar's flight into the wilderness, her encounter with God, and how she gives God the name Eloroi, "The God Who Sees."https://study-companion.kit.com/0a352e0e64 - Click link to download your free, weekly PDF Study Companion - stuff you won't find in Sunday school — real scholarship, surprising history, and sermons from voices outside your usual orbit.Chapters00:00 10 Years of Waiting00:36 Sarai's Desperation and Abram's Compliance02:17 Cultural Context of Surrogacy04:02 Conflict and Hagar's Flight08:48 Hagar Encounters The God Who Sees13:22 Reflecting on Who We See
