About this listen
Episode 13 of Truth Everyday weaves together Genesis 32–34, Psalm 145, and Mark 13 to explore how God remains faithful amid personal struggle, communal brokenness, and uncertain futures. The episode reflects on Jacob wrestling with God at the Jabbok, where fear, confession, and surrender lead to deep transformation and a new identity, marked by dependence rather than control. It then traces the fragile reconciliation with Esau and the painful events surrounding Dinah, reminding us that God’s promises endure even when human transformation is incomplete and moral formation is ongoing. Psalm 145 lifts the focus from human failure to God’s unchanging character: gracious, compassionate, and faithful across generations. Finally, Jesus’ teaching in Mark 13 calls disciples not to predict the future, but to remain watchful, discerning, and steadfast in the present. Together, these readings invite listeners to cling to God in seasons of wrestling, waiting, and watching, trusting that He is sovereign and faithful through every crisis and hope.
