Listen "Abram's Egyptian Deception and Wavering Faith "
Episode Synopsis
Shifts the scene from Canaan to Egypt because of famine. Facing danger as a foreigner, Abram fears that Sarai’s beauty might put his life at risk, so he asks her to present herself as his sister. When they enter Egypt, the Egyptians (and even Pharaoh’s officials) notice Sarai’s striking beauty, and she is taken into Pharaoh’s household.In short: these verses highlight Abram’s early struggle to trust God fully. He has just received promises of blessing and land, yet fear pushes him toward a half-truth that puts Sarai—and the promise itself—at risk. It’s the first glimpse of a recurring theme: God’s plan is steady, but Abram, like us all, wrestles with faith under pressure. A story of trust learning to grow, one misstep at a time.
