Listen "Don’t Sell Your Birthright: 3 Ways to Hold On to God’s Promise in a World of Distractions"
Episode Synopsis

What struck me this time was how, in the ancient world, Esau’s choice to give up his birthright would have been seen as shameful—while Jacob, though flawed, is honored for desiring something eternal.I share how God works with desire, not just good behavior. He saw in Jacob a hunger to carry the covenant forward—and that’s something He can work with.I break it down into 3 key reflections:Seeds or Stew?Are your motives rooted in something eternal—or just instant gratification?Self-Patience & WrestlingLike Jacob, you don’t have to be perfect for God to use you. Sometimes the wrestling is part of the blessing.Fight Faith AmnesiaDon’t forget what God has already done in your life. Remembering His past faithfulness fuels future faith.Whether you’re in a season of wrestling, waiting, or wondering—this episode is a call to resist the shortcut and hold on to the blessing God has for you.
