Jeremiah 3:12: “Go, proclaim this message toward the north: ‘Return, faithless Israel,' declares the Lord...”Jeremiah 3:18: “In those days the house of Judah will join the house of Israel, and together they will come from the land of the north to the land I gave your ancestors as an inheritance.”Jeremiah 16:14-15: “However, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,' but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.' For I will restore them to the land I gave their ancestors.”Spartan LetterIn a remarkable letter from the Lacedemonian (Spartan) King, Areus (309-265 B.C.) to Onias, High Priest in Jerusalem, the Spartans reveal their genetic origins. Records of this letter are found in both Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews (12.4.10), as well as in 1 Maccabees 12:19-23. The letter reads:"Areus, King of the Lacedemonians, to Onias, sendeth greeting:We have met with a certain writing, whereby we have discovered that both the Jews and the Lacedemonians are of one stock, and are derived from the kindred of Abraham. It is but just therefore that you, who are our brethren, should send to us about any of your concerns as you please. We will also do the same thing, and esteem your concerns as our own, and will look upon our concerns as in common with yours. Demoteles, who brings you this letter, will bring your answer back to us. This letter is four-square; and the seal is an eagle, with a dragon in his claws.” - Josephus, Antiquities, 12.4.10Josephus considers the Spartan origins in his footnotes, stating they "perhaps were derived from the Syrians and Arabians, the posterity of Abraham by Keturah, see Antiq. XIV.10.22. and Of the War, I.26.1. nd Grot. on 1 Macc. 12:7."SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY:Text the word "Give" to 386-753-7337 or hit the "Thanks" button here on YouTube.

If you are looking for a 3-3 marriage, be a 3!(23:05) Four ways to read the text, with three important lenses. The temple symbolism of Rebekah at the well.(30:17) Abraham marries Keturah after the death of Sarah.(33:15) The sons of Ishmael and their “castles” in Genesis 25.12-18.(34:50) Abraham died and was gathered to his people. These verses echo eternal truths regarding the reunification of families in the Spirit World after death.(38:38) Rebekah and Isaac have twins named Jacob and Esau. These men represent two nations.(45:51) Esau is the progenitor of the Edomites.(49:20) Esau sells the birthright in Genesis 25.29-34. Esau's tears remind us to not despise the blessings within our reach.(57:46) The people of the covenant always seek sacred places to commune with God.(1:03:13) The literal reading (peshat) of Genesis 27.1-40 with 4 points of emphasis from the Institute Manual.(1:10:27) Patterns, types, and figures may provide deeper meaning to Genesis 27. Reading this text with an allegorical (remez) and sacred temple approach (sod).(1:21:36) The three fold structure of the creation and the three Patriarchs may increase our understanding of temple symbolism and show us Rebekah's essential purpose in this story.(1:31:10) We can accept the responsibility of the Abrahamic Covenant by sharing the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jacob's story emphasizes the importance of keeping the covenant in the family first.(1:36:46) The geopolitical situation between Judah and Israel may have influenced the text.(1:38:29) The Book of Mormon teaches that when we treat family like the enemy, we open the door to the real enemy.(1:39:42) “Jacob's Ladder” can be viewed as a heavenly vision of the Lord. Bethel as a representation of modern-day temples.(1:47:56) Jacob meets Rachel at a well. The matriarchs are often associated with water.(1:50:02) Laban tricks Jacob into marrying Leah first since she is the older sister. He then marries Rachel, but serves 7 years for her because he loves her. The challenges of plural marriage.(1:53:47) The image of opening a mother's womb as a manifestation of heavenly power. The sanctity of life is very important to God.(1:58:30) The names of the children of Israel are puns that expose the rivalry between the sisters Rachel and Leah.(2:06:20) Faith in God includes faith in his timing, even for righteous desires. God remembered Rachel and he will remember you.(2:09:11) The Lord (or an angel) tells Jacob to leave Haran. Jacob and Laban hold a contest regarding the fertility of their flocks. Rachel hides Laban's “household gods.”(2:14:41) Jacob's reconciliation with Laban through a covenant.(2:18:38) Jacob asks God for a blessing to endure well and reconcile with Esau in Genesis 32. Jacob wrestles with a “man” or God. A comparison between Jacob's wrestle in Genesis and Enos' wrestle in the Book of Mormon.(2:25:06) Jacob's name is changed to Israel, which can mean “let God prevail.” We also receive a new name when we become followers of Christ and in other times of our lives.

Keturah didn't know it, but when she hid in her family's stable that dark, star-filled night, she was in for a big surprise! Regularly cast aside because of her crippled hands, God had carefully chosen this young, Hebrew girl to be part of His miraculous entrance into the world!The Innkeeper's Daughter is a tender, whimsical story that gives you a glimpse of what might have happened in the stable on the night Jesus was born. Written and narrated by Jill Briscoe, children and adults will be captivated by her vivid descriptions of the stable and the many unusual visitors who came. Follow little Keturah inside the cramped, smelly barn and see what she saw: talking animals, chubby angels, regal wise men, and ultimately, the King of Kings, whose coming wasn't the only miracle that night!

“The New is in the Old contained; the Old is in the New explained”—showing one continuous story that flows to Jesus. In Genesis 25, Abraham remarries Keturah and has six more sons, but the covenant and main inheritance go to Isaac while Ishmael is still blessed; Abraham dies “gathered to his people,” reminding us of life beyond the grave. Isaac and Rebekah wait twenty years for children, which drives them to prayer; God answers with twins who “struggle” in the womb, and He declares the older will serve the younger—showing God can choose anyone for His purposes. Esau lives for the moment and trades his birthright for stew, while Jacob schemes to get what God had already purposed—both are deeply flawed, and yet God still works through them. The takeaway: God's plan is steady across Scripture, His timing grows our faith, and He uses imperfect people to bring His salvation story to the world. Instead of asking, “Why me?” we ask, “Lord, what have You chosen me for?” - Greg Opean - Wednesday, December 17, 2025

Both these verses refer to children whom Abraham fathered, but his relationship to the two groups was very different. Verse six refers to the "sons of his concubine." These were six sons whom Abraham conceived in his old age with a woman named Keturah. When they reached a certain age he gave them enough to live on and sent them away. It appears he was their biological father, but invested little as their spiritual, emotional or educational father. Verse nine names Isaac and Ishmael and calls them "his sons," meaning that they were children Abraham personally love and nurtured. Being a real father requires much more than just conceiving a baby; it requires an enormous personal investment in the development of a child. In this episode we'll look at four roles to which a father is called (if he is to be a real father to his children).

Genesis 25-26 25:1 Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 She bore to him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All of these were the sons of Keturah. 5 Now Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac; 6 but to the sons of his concubines, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and sent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east. 7 These are all the years of Abraham's life that he lived, 175 years. 8 Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was gathered to his people. 9 Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre, 10 the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. 11 It came about after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac lived by Beer-lahai-roi. 12 Now these are the records of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's slave woman, bore to Abraham; 13 and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages, and by their camps; twelve princes according to their tribes. 17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael, 137 years; and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. 18 They settled from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt going toward Assyria; he settled in defiance of all his relatives. 19 Now these are the records of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham fathered Isaac; 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. 21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was unable to have children; and the Lord answered him, and his wife Rebekah conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why am I in this condition?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb; And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people will be stronger than the other; And the older will serve the younger.” 24 When her days leading to the delivery were at an end, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 Now the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding on to Esau's heel, so he was named Jacob; and Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them. 27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a civilized man, living in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for game; but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 When Jacob had cooked a stew one day, Esau came in from the field and he was exhausted; 30 and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a mouthful of that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.” Therefore he was called Edom by name. 31 But Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.” 32 Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” 33 And Jacob said, “First swear to me”; so he swore an oath to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright. 26:1 Now there was a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 And the Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; stay in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Live for a time in this land and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to your father Abraham. 4 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, 5 because Abraham obeyed Me and fulfilled his duty to Me, and kept My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” 6 So Isaac lived in Gerar. 7 When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “my wife,” thinking, “the men of the place might kill me on account of Rebekah, since she is beautiful.” 8 Now it came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down through a window, and saw them, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah. 9 Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Behold, she certainly is your wife! So how is it that you said, ‘She is my sister'?” And Isaac said to him, “Because I thought, ‘otherwise I might be killed on account of her.'” 10 And Abimelech said, “What is this that you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.” 11 So Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will certainly be put to death.” 12 Now Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundred times as much. And the Lord blessed him, 13 and the man became rich, and continued to grow richer until he became very wealthy; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and herds, and a great household, so that the Philistines envied him. 15 Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are too powerful for us.” 17 So Isaac departed from there and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there. 18 Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them. 19 But when Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of flowing water, 20 the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they argued with him. 21 Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it Sitnah. 22 Then he moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said, “At last the Lord has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.” 23 And he went up from there to Beersheba. 24 And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham; Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants, For the sake of My servant Abraham.” 25 So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well. 26 Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with his adviser Ahuzzath, and Phicol the commander of his army. 27 Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?” 28 They said, “We have seen plainly that the Lord has been with you; so we said, ‘An oath must now be taken by us,' that is, by you and us. So let us make a covenant with you, 29 that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the Lord.” 30 Then he made them a feast, and they ate and drank. 31 In the morning they got up early and exchanged oaths; then Isaac sent them away, and they left him in peace. 32 Now it came about on the same day, that Isaac's servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.” 33 So he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day. 34 When Esau was forty years old he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite; 35 and they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.

Send us a textPastor Joshua reads Chayei Sarah, Genesis 23:1-25:18, about the death of Sarah and Abraham's purchase of the Cave of Machpelah as a burial plot. It then tells the story of Abraham sending his servant to find a wife for his son Isaac, which results in Isaac marrying Rebekah. The Parashat concludes with Abraham marrying again, to Keturah, before his death and burial next to Sarah.
Parasashat Hayei Sarah [Genesis 23:1-25:18] begins with the death of Sarah and the acquisition of the Cave of Machpelah as a burial place for her. The cave will become the burial place for all the patriarchs and matriarchs save for Rachel, who is buried elsewhere. By far the longest chapter in Genesis, chapter 24 describes how Rebekah became rhe wife of Isaac. Chapter 25 provides the details of Abraham's marriage to Keturah and their subsequent offspring; the death and burial of Abraham; and the genealogy and death of Ishmael. One way to look at this parashah is as the emergence of Isaac as the 2nd patriarch, for at the end of the parashah he is the only male left standing. Our conversation mostly focused on the always engaging chapter 24. With the return of another body to Israel, 3 hostages remain in Gaza. We continue to keep them in mind as we continue to pray for their speedy return to Israel. We also have in mind the men and women defending Israel as part of the Israel Defense Forces, may they be removed from harm's way. Shabbat Shalom.

Our character traits fall into three categories:The ones that are easily changeable with minimal effort.The ones that can be changed, but it requires much more intense and concerted effort because they are much more deeply rooted.The character flaws that are not changeable; they are hardwired and fixed in place.What do we do about those unchangeable flaws? Is there a method to maneuver around them? Are we supposed to come to terms with them? Are we condemned to suffer as a result of them? Our pursuit is perfection. And perfection is even possible notwithstanding very unpleasant and very unchangeable flaws. One method was pioneered by a brilliant and righteous woman named Keturah.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this Torah portion, Sara dies at the age of 127. Abraham searches for a place to bury her and settles on Machpelah. Abraham searches for a wife for his son, Isaac. Abraham sends his servant to find a wife for Isaac. The servant meets Rebecca at a well, where she provides water for him and his camels. Abraham marries Keturah and has six more sons. He then dies at the age of 175
The beginning of Chapter 25 in the Torah portion of Chayei Sarah features several enigmatic and mysterious verses. Torah speaks of Abraham taking another wife after Sarah's death...Keturah. What is the true identity of this woman? What is the meaning of the 'gifts' that Abraham gave to his other children...and why did he send them off 'to the land of the East?' In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder some fascinating teachings that touch upon the esoteric branches of knowledge that developed into Eastern spirituality. Was this part of God's plan to make Abraham into 'the father of a multitude of nations?'

Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. Saucy but Sweet fam, we know we have been away for far too long, but trust us, the wait was worth it because this season we got some great gems cooked up for you. The host Ali has been doing what she does best: living her best multi-hyphenate life which unfortunately keeps her away from the podcast a little longer than expected sometimes. But no need to fret because this week we are back with one of our favorite guests, and friends to the podcast: Freelancer and Author Keturah Kendrick. She is known to the host as Auntie Keturah but to the world as the brilliant mind behind “No Thanks, Black Female, and Living in the Martyr-Free Zone,” and her latest book, “And You Know This: Lessons on Living From Young Folx” We recorded this podcast back in October 2024. We will be discussing her latest book which provides lessons from young women and non binary folk who overcame challenges from their tumultuous twenties to find their own paths. After our conversation, Ali reviews a film for Saucy but Sweet Review of the week. What is it? You'll have to tune in to see. You can follow Keturah on IG @KeturahKendrick and Twitter @HappySingleGal. This episode is brought to you by Odette Coronel Coaching.

houghts on the readings for January 14th (Genesis 25 and 26 Psalm 31 and Matthew 16) Genesis 25 tells that Abraham took another wife, called Keturah. We are not sure at what time Keturah became Abraham's wife; but, she bare him 6 sons. These sons became the progenitors of many of the Arab nations – already we see Abraham has becoming the “father of a multitude (or “many nations”)”. They were sent eastward enriched with gifts from the great patriarch. Abraham died at the age of 175 and was buried in the cave of Machpelah by his sons Isaac and Ishmael. From verses 12-18 we have the genealogy of Ishmael from whom descended 12 princes. From verses 19-28 of Genesis 25 we are told that Rebekah had great problems in conception and once pregnant she experienced a trying time. Rebekah enquired of Yahweh (probably through the priest) about the wrestlings within her; and was told she would give birth to twins, who would be very different and, that the elder twin would serve the younger. Esau was born hairy, or fully developed. He was red haired and so called Esau, which means red. The younger twin was born grasping the heel of his twin. He was named Jacob meaning heel grabber. The difference between them was evident from their early days with Jacob being “a plain (upright) man dwelling in tents (a sojourner like his fathers)”; whilst Esau was an energetic, active man – a man's man; an athletic hunter. Rebekah favoured Jacob (her son); whilst Isaac loved Esau – who he perhaps envied, as Esau was everything that Isaac was not. After returning from his hunting without any prey Esau, claiming to be starving, sold his birthright to his spiritually ambitious brother, Jacob for a bowl of red lentils. This story indicated Esau had no love of the promises and not a skerrick of spirituality (see the comments in Hebrews 12 verses 14 to17). In Genesis 26 God repeats the Abrahamic promise to Isaac. There was a famine in the Land and Isaac was told to sojourn and trust in the Almighty to provide. From verse 6 we see Isaac journeying to the land of the Philistines, where he like his father (Abraham) lied about his wife; because of fear for his own life. But after being seen acting as a husband, Isaac is rebuked by the Philistine king Abimelech. How incredible that great men of faith should so fail – but as James tells us, they were of like passions (and weaknesses) to ourselves. Abimelech charged his people to act honourably to Rebekah. Isaac sowed in that country and reaped an abundant harvest. Isaac, like Abraham, became rich and powerful; and was envied by the Philistines. All the wells that had been dug by Abraham were filled with earth by these lazy and envious men. Isaac was instructed to move away and he relocated to Gerar. There Isaac again dug his father's well and the Philistines quarrelled over the water. The well was named Esek, meaning “contention”. So Isaac moved on and dug another well, named Sitnah (meaning“a quarrel”), as this again was the consequence of finding water. He moved once more and dug for and found water at Rehoboth (meaning “room”). This water was uncontested. Finally he moved to Beersheba (“the well of the covenant”), where Yahweh repeated to Isaac the promise to Abraham in verse 24. The chapter finishes with a covenant being made between Isaac and Phicol, captain of the Philistine army. After a feast in which the Philistines acknowledge Isaac to be “blessed of Yahweh”, there is an exchange of oaths Isaac settled in Beersheba and dwelt there with the well of the covenant providing their needs as had their Sustainer and Protector.

Keturah didn't know it, but when she hid in her family's stable that dark, star-filled night, she was in for a big surprise! Regularly cast aside because of her crippled hands, God had carefully chosen this young, Hebrew girl to be part of His miraculous entrance into the world! The Innkeeper's Daughter is a tender, whimsical story that gives you a glimpse of what might have happened in the stable on the night Jesus was born. Written and narrated by Jill Briscoe, children and adults will be captivated by her vivid descriptions of the stable and the many unusual visitors who came. Follow little Keturah inside the cramped, smelly barn and see what she saw: talking animals, chubby angels, regal wise men, and ultimately, the King of Kings, whose coming wasn't the only miracle that night!

Genesis 25 provides a transitional chapter in the Bible, weaving together the concluding events of Abraham's life and the beginning of the stories of his descendants, especially Isaac, Jacob, and Esau. Here's an in-depth overview: 1. Abraham's Later Life and Death (Verses 1-11) •Marriage to Keturah: After Sarah's death, Abraham marries Keturah, and they have several children: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. These children become the ancestors of various groups, expanding Abraham's lineage beyond Isaac and Ishmael. •Inheritance Decisions: While Abraham provides gifts to his children with Keturah, he ensures that Isaac is the primary heir, symbolizing God's promise passing through Isaac. •Death and Burial: Abraham dies at 175, “full of years,” and is buried by his sons Isaac and Ishmael in the cave of Machpelah, where Sarah was also laid to rest. •Blessing of Isaac: Following Abraham's death, God blesses Isaac, reaffirming the covenant through him. 2. The Genealogy of Ishmael (Verses 12-18) •Descendants: The chapter lists the twelve sons of Ishmael, fulfilling God's promise that Ishmael would become the father of twelve princes, leading to distinct tribes and nations. •Settlement: Ishmael's descendants spread from Havilah to Shur, creating a vast network of tribes east of Egypt. •Death of Ishmael: Ishmael lives to be 137 and dies, marking a transition in the narrative focus from his line to that of Isaac. 3. Birth of Esau and Jacob (Verses 19-26) •Isaac and Rebekah's Struggle with Infertility: Isaac prays for his wife Rebekah, who is barren, and God answers, allowing her to conceive. •Prophecy of the Twins: During her pregnancy, Rebekah feels great struggle within her womb and seeks God's guidance. God tells her that she is carrying two nations, foreshadowing the intense rivalry between her sons. God also reveals that the older (Esau) will serve the younger (Jacob), reversing traditional expectations of inheritance and status. •The Birth: Esau, the firstborn, is described as red and hairy. Jacob follows, holding Esau's heel, symbolizing his eventual role in surpassing Esau. 4. Esau Sells His Birthright to Jacob (Verses 27-34) •Growing Personalities: Esau becomes a skillful hunter, embodying a rugged, impulsive spirit, while Jacob is more reserved, staying close to the tents. •Parental Favoritism: Isaac favors Esau, likely due to his hunting skills, while Rebekah favors Jacob, setting up a future family dynamic filled with tension and favoritism. •The Birthright Exchange: One day, Esau returns from the field, famished, and begs Jacob for some of his lentil stew. Jacob seizes the opportunity to negotiate, asking Esau to sell his birthright (his position as firstborn) in exchange for the food. Driven by hunger and impatience, Esau agrees, disregarding the significance of his inheritance. This impulsive decision foreshadows future conflicts and Esau's disregard for his privileged role in the family. Key Themes and Insights in Genesis 25 •God's Faithfulness and Covenant: The chapter continues to highlight God's unwavering commitment to the covenant with Abraham, as it now passes to Isaac and prepares to be carried on through Jacob. •The Role of Free Will and Destiny: Esau's decision to sell his birthright reflects themes of free will, while God's prophecy to Rebekah suggests that destiny and divine will also shape human events. •Family Dynamics and Rivalry: The favoritism shown by Isaac and Rebekah introduces the tension that will later develop between Jacob and Esau, symbolizing the complex relationships that will define Israel's story. Genesis 25 serves as a foundational text for understanding the unfolding story of Israel, focusing on the covenant lineage and God's sovereign plan, while also presenting the human choices and conflicts that shape biblical history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

In episode 20 of the Birth Like a Mammal™ podcast, Lindsay sits down with Keturah Pawlik. Keturah is a doula and Mother of six. Originally from New York, she now lives in West Palm Beach with her family. Keturah believes in the power of storytelling and in sharing our wisdoms with others, offering a new perspective or lending our strength when it's needed most.In this episode, Keturah and Lindsay dive deep into the crucial support systems for both Mothers and Fathers during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, highlighting the often-neglected emotional needs and hormonal changes experienced by Fathers. Keturah shares her six birthing experiences, emphasizing the importance of Mothers feeling supported by their partners and how we can help Fathers to do so. She makes the point that many marital/relationship issues that come up years after birth can usually be traced back to a baby's birth. The episode concludes with actionable advice and resources. Both Lindsay and Keturah have created resources and workshops tailored for dads, such as Lindsay's Dad Doula class, to equip them better for becoming a Father and foster a healthy family dynamic. Keturah offers a workshop for dads in Florida, promoting a collaborative and supportive approach to preparing for a new baby. Key Points:Fathers carry birth trauma too, and are often not asked to talk about it. A healthy Father bodes a healthy Mother. A societal shift is needed to support men entering Fatherhood.The environment where birth takes places directly affects birth. Notable Quotes:“While pregnancy and the postpartum period should really be the safest time in a woman's life, for many women here, it could be the most dangerous time they'll ever go through if they don't have a partner who is on board, and who is whole.” - Keturah“Men need a doula just as much as women do.” - Keturah“A peaceful calm birth, you get a peaceful individual and it completely rewires how you approach your whole life.” - Keturah“Hospital birth is like going to McDonald's and trying to have a fine dining experience.” - Keturah“The more tools you give dads, the more confident they are.” - LindsayWhere to find Keturah:Winging it with KetInstagramEmail: Wingingitwithket@gmail.comSHOW MENTIONS:Lindsay on Keturah's Podcast EpisodeContribute to the Dad Doula book!Be Her Village5 Things to Ask Your Care Provider PDFSupport the showQuestions?Looking for further support during pregnancy?Reach out at join@birthlikeamammal.com for birth support and other resources.

As we come to the end of Abraham's life, the account of his death and burial is in between two “rejected genealogies”. The genealogy of Keturah's sons and Ishmael. Twice we will be reminded that Isaac is the one blessed by God, who will inherit the covenant promises. The natural questions are, what is the purpose of mentioning these “rejected genealogies”? What makes Isaac so special? What is the Lord revealing about Himself?
