  • Summary

  • This story is tough. It's hard to imagine being in Abraham's shoes and saying yes to God's request, especially considering how out of character the request seems! Why did Abraham say yes? Is there more going on here than we realize? Josh, Tori, and Brendan search the text and its depths to answer these questions and more.
