In this episode of The Today Counts Show, host Jim Piper Jr. is joined by co-hosts Winston Harris and Gary Harpst for a powerful conversation through Genesis 25, uncovering how a single impulsive decision between two brothers—Jacob and Esau—ignited generations of conflict and reshaped an entire family legacy.

Together, they explore how family dysfunction, unchecked emotion, favoritism, and short-term thinking can lead to long-term consequences. Esau’s choice to trade his birthright for a temporary meal reveals how spiritual priorities, identity, and leadership responsibility can be lost in moments of pressure and weakness.

This episode connects ancient Scripture to modern life, showing how everyday choices impact families, marriages, siblings, leadership, and generational health. Jim, Winston, and Gary offer biblical insight and practical wisdom on decision-making, conflict resolution, and protecting what matters most when emotions run high.

Whether you’re navigating family tension, leadership challenges, or major life decisions, this conversation provides clarity, conviction, and hope for building a healthier future.
