Jacob: The Faking, Breaking, and Making of a Man | Your Name is Israel | David Asscherick

Jacob was broken (literally) and remade as God’s covenant man. On his way home, while fearing Esau, another encouraging encounter with Yahweh, like the one at Bethel, solidifies his calling and identity as Abraham and Issac’s heir to the great promise of land and descendants. And following Jacob’s night of intense combat, Israel is born! Jacob’s story is not over, but he is, at last, God’s man! Listen to David Asscherick’s interpretation of this beloved story.
