We unpack one of the strangest yet most colorful episodes in the Bible—Jacob’s all-night wrestling match with God, who takes on a proto-incarnate form. The encounter will permanently change Jacob, who emerges with a new name—Israel—and a limp to serve as a reminder of the contest. We look at both the literal narrative as well as how it symbolically reflects our own lifelong wrestling with the Lord. Follow along with our study source: “Limping with God: Jacob and the Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship” by Chad Bird.
