This week we dig into the strange account of Abram's calling and the failures that occur alongside it. God picked this man the same we he picked Noah, but unlike Noah, Abram doesn't display the level of righteousness we would expect from God's chosen. Did God make a mistake? Is He compromising? Why does Abram receive blessing despite the problems he causes? Josh, Tori, and Brendan explore those questions as well as digging into the topic of cosmic geography and how the Biblical authors expressed when people were acting in obedience or rebellion.
