Podcast 295 -- Grieving for a Buried Future Genesis 35:16-27; 37:1-35

Like all men, Jacob must deal will inevitable transitions that come with middle age, although for this patriarch, the pain will run deep. His beloved Rachel dies in childbirth, bearing him his 12th son. His father Isaac dies soon after. What follows is the devastating loss of his favorite son, Joseph, whom his brothers, out of jealousy and hatred, sold into slavery yet told Jacob he had been killed by a wild beast. We look at this well-known story from Jacob's perspective, and discuss the tragedy and grief for lives cut short and how men--and those who love them--should navigate the grieving process and general transitions of life.
