Genesis 12-50: Q + R

This summer we are re-releasing audio of a Youtube Q+R series we did on Old Testament books. This week we are in the book of Genesis.
We cover a lot of questions in this episode like why would God ask for a child sacrifice from Abraham and Isaac, when he forbids child sacrifice?

Thank you to all of our supporters! You are so meaningful to us!
