Episode Genesis Chapter 23:Goodbye Sarah... but not Forever
Genesis 23 is quiet… but it carries weight.
After decades of walking with God, Abraham faces one of the most human moments of all, loss. Sarah, his wife and a woman of deep faith, dies at 127 years old. And for the first time, we don’t just see Abraham as a man of promise… we see him as a grieving husband.
But what happens next is unexpected.
Instead of receiving land through victory or inheritance, Abraham buys a burial place, a cave in Machpelah. And this becomes the first piece of the promised land he ever owns.
A grave.
In this episode, we walk through the story step by step, unpack the cultural details, and wrestle with what it means to trust God when the promise doesn’t look like what you thought it would.
Because sometimes… the beginning of God’s promise looks like an ending.
