Back to Basics, Episode 45: Jacob Prospers at Laban's Expense (Genesis 30, Part 2)

Welcome to our "new" series, "Back to Basics!" (Well...by new, we mean...repurposed. This isn't the same as the previous series by the same name!)

In this series, Pastor Don and Courtney Fraley are going to explore the Bible, one story at a time, starting at the beginning, and working our way forward until we either get bored or run out of Bible! Tune in every week for a brief exploration of the next chapter in that thrilling and oft-misunderstood story, the Bible!

In today's episode, we're continuing Jacob's story, and watching as he figures out a creative way to get back at his father-in-law, Laban. How weird does your animal husbandry technique have to be to confuse scholars for millennia? How complex are the negotiating tactics of the ancient Middle-East? Did Jacob invent the entire field of genetics just to piss off his father-in-law? And how did Laban not see that coming? Check out today's episode to find out about all that and more!

Seriously, we're like Galadriel if, instead of being played by an award-winning actor of renowned beauty, she was instead portrayed by a couple of mildly-unstable millennials ranting about the Bible!
