Ep. 189 - Obeying When It Doesn’t Make Sense (Genesis 22 Study)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Genesis 22, God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac—a command that defies logic, comfort, and human reasoning. Yet within this moment we discover one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: faith is proven through obedience.
In this episode of The Today Counts Show with Jim Piper Jr., we explore what it really means to trust God when life doesn’t make sense. Obedience isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it—and it always leads to God’s provision in His timing and His way.
In this episode, we discuss:
What Genesis 22 reveals about faith, obedience, and surrender
Why God allows seasons of testing and stretching
The connection between obedience and purpose
Leadership under pressure—what Abraham teaches us
How trust grows when obedience comes before understanding
If you're leading a family, a team, a business—or simply leading yourself—this episode will challenge and encourage you to follow God courageously, even when the path is unclear.
Because how you live today really does count.
