Listen "Ep 36 A Single Parent, Gen 21:1-21"
Episode Synopsis
When Abraham disinherited Ishmael and abandoned him in the wilderness, he instantly turned Hagar into a single mom. Being the single mother of a teenage boy is quite a challenge, but Hagar took steps to see that her son would successfully grow into manhood. Many women and men who face the prospect of raising their children alone, without the support of a spouse, may find themselves wondering if their efforts are doomed to failure. In our lesson for today we see that such negative thinking forgets the reality of God as our father, and discounts what He can accomplish through a parent who will obey Him. Hagar's example teaches us some powerful lessons about parenting.
