Israel left Egypt confidence "ready" for war, but rather than leading them through a short route where they would face the Philistines, He took them through the longest rough, through the desert towards the Red Sea, so they would not face war and seek to return to Egypt.

Episode 43 teaches what we can learn from the major events that took place right immediately after Israel left Egypt.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
From the fall to today atonement has been very important.

The famine did not just affect Egypt, but nearby countries as well. People who were affect found themselves traveling to Egypt to get some grain.

If you are going through a difficult season this episode will be that needed spark and possibly that light at the end of the tunnel.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
We live in a temptation-filled world, but not everything is for grabs. Joseph understood that very well, but even when he stood his ground to do what was right, he was unjustly accused.

Jacob probably never imagined all that would be awaiting him in Paddan Aram, but those 20 years there would be challenging years. In this episode 30, we see how Jacob builds a family, not just with the one he loves but with other women out of obligation for the sake of following the custom and pleasing wives who want to build a family. In the end, God stills makes Himself known and Jacob is given instructions on what to do next.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
Jacob's journey to Paddan Aram started. One night he gets a dream from God confirming that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Deception hurts, but it hurts even more when the deception comes from your own family. This episode 28 reveals the scheming, deception and painful outcome within a family fighting for a blessing. There is surely a lot of mess in families (none are perfect) but we can definitely learn from this story how important it is to treasure truth and seek for spiritual discernment rather than take matters into our own hands and cause irreparable pain.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
We make decisions everyday. As we consider those decisions some of us think rationally about the matter, prayerfully consider and get wise counsel, however, others make rash decisions when they are under duress, when they are hungry, angry, lonely or tired. The latter is dangerous as the consequences of our choices might not be immediately observable, but bad decisions always have bad consequences, it's a matter of time before we see its fruits.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
God remains faithful to His Word and what He promises He fulfills. Isaac's life is a testament of how God's plans cannot be thwarted.

God's plans for us are good, to prosper us and not to harm us but to give us a hope and a future. This episode leads us to trust God even when bumps in the road of our journey challenges our faith.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
Do you ever pray? How do you pray? When your prayer is answered, what do you do? If we are honest, we tend to pray general prayers because we either don't believe our prayers will be heard and answered or we pray without any expectation. This episode 25 gives us hope, however; Abraham's trusted servant teaches us how to pray with expectation and how to honor God.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
In ancient biblical times, finding a bride was not based on feelings or preference. People did not fall in love and then get married, oftentimes than not, the marriages were arranged within the family and accepted as such. Monogamy, endogamy, polygamy, concubinage, levirate marriages are terms we might not come across very often but as our journey through The Bible continues it will become very essential to be familiar with these terms.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
How can we know where our devotion lies unless it is tested? Abraham's journey is reaching a peak as God is telling him to do the unimaginable--sacrificing his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Episode 23 teaches how important it is to not only trust and obey God but to lay everything on the altar because God never fails to reward those who trust and obey Him. Website: www.colettecorrea.com
In life, there is joy and there is pain--an appointed time and a season for everything, but God journeys with us even in the midst of our distress. Abraham, Sarah and Isaac are at a fork in the road with Hagar and Ishmael. Ishmael and Isaac's destinies are traced for them to part. In this episode 22, we are brought to a place of remembering that although circumstances of life can be painful, God's plans and purposes for us are good and they cannot be thwarted.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
Abraham's journey of faith continues as God reiterates His covenant and requires all males of his household to be circumcised. While God required male circumcision for Abraham and his descendants as a physical sign of the covenant that was made between Him and Abraham, God desires to circumcise our hearts--the spiritual sign that we have received His Gift of Life. Episode 21 is a crucial episode in clearly understanding God's purposes for Abraham and his sons Ishmael and Isaac as well as his descendants.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
We all go through different seasons in life and some of those seasons are harder than others. In this episode 20, we encounter a God as "the God who sees". He sees our misery, He sees our distress, He sees our anxieties, He sees our fears ... etc and it is then that He manifests His presence, showing us care as He listens to us and providing us comfort and direction in the midst of our distress. Website: www.colettecorrea.com
Sometimes we think we are helping God when we in fact mess things up. When we rely on our own wisdom rather than take time to seek God for clarity and direction, to confirm if indeed the idea we have lines up with His plans and purposes, we can make a mess out of things. In this episode 19, in her blind impatience, Sarai takes charge. She makes a crucial decision without consulting God and the consequence of her decision brings about turmoil that could have been avoided had she consulted God in the first place.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
Can anyone count the numbers of stars in the sky? The answer is no. It is impossible as counting the number of grains of sand on the face of the earth.

God sealed His promise through an unconditional covenant. Episode 18 is an episode that gives us a glimpse of who God is and how we can experience a deeper intimacy with Him.

Episode 17 takes us through the journey of two men who were traveling to a promised land, however, one never made it as he settled for a parched land where he died, while the other by faith journeyed to the place God had intended for him, his family and generations to come. The latter was not only blessed but through his obedience we are blessed today.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
Episode 16 takes us back to the place where a group of people who only knew one language were confused by different languages and scattered over all the earth. Colette challenges us to not only understand that God has a plan and purpose for the all the nations but that today we should take time to pray for our own nation so we may live a peaceful and quiet life, that all people may come to be reconciled back to Him and He may be exalted.Website: www.colettecorrea.com

Disobedience should never be taken lightly, in the eyes of God, it is sin. In this episode 12, Adam and Eve are confronted with the consequences of their sins.

Website: www.colettecorrea.com
This episode 11 explores how temptation is constantly before us---the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life.

The beginning of everything starts in Genesis chapter 1. In this episode 8, we are invited to pause, observe, look around and understand that the universe, the animals, nature and mankind did not appear by mere chance, but were created by a self-existent God who had a specific purpose when He created everything and put mankind in charge to rule and have dominion over all the creatures and the entire earth.Website: www.colettecorrea.com
