This presentation by Dr. Chloe Sun, titled “Between Wrestling and Blessing: Jacob and his Messy Family,” was recorded on October 7, 2025. The lecture is part of the 2025 conference “Biblical Theology in Asian America: Family, Migration, and Divine Presence,” presented by the Center for Asian American Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary and co-hosted with Fuller Theological Seminary's Chinese Studies Center. You can learn more about this conference here: https://ptsem.edu/academics/centers/center-for-asian-american-christianity/btiaa2025/.Description: This presentation examines Jacob's family dynamics, including his experience as a migrant and its impact on his social location as an ethnic minority within a dominant culture, his ongoing struggles with his brother, his relationships with his elder sons, and his daughter Dinah. It also explores generational patterns such as parental favoritism, sibling rivalry, barrenness, and fatherly passivity. Additionally, it highlights how God's election of Jacob and Jacob's mediation of God's blessings show that even amidst family chaos, grace and purpose can be found. The presentation aims to illustrate that despite the complexity of many Asian American families, there is hope for reconciliation and for God's purposes to be fulfilled.Chloe T.

I denne talen underviser Christoffer om at kirken er et hellig og vakkert "rot". Vi er ufullkomne, avhengige av Guds nåde, har kanskje lite til felles, og kan lett irritere oss over hverandre. Men vi har Jesus som sentrum, og vi vokser i kjærlighet til hv

I don't know about you, but in my home the laundry room is considered one of the most important rooms. It's command central. When my kids were still at home it was also a disaster on most days. Oh, it might be clean for a few brief hours, but then when everyone started slinging off boots and muddy clothes, you'd never know I'd darkened the door that day. Many days the frustration of laundry, picking up clothes, blankets, cups and shoes (the list could go on infinitely) is overwhelming, especially with kids in the home. Before my children flew the nest, I'd get mad and start to spew at them, wanting to ask the question my mom used to ask us in jest (mostly), “What'd your last maid die of—overwork and underpay?” I always laughed at that question, but now I can appreciate the significance of it. That's sure what it feels like sometimes. Listen as I share a perspective I learned years ago that helped me no blow a fuse every time I walked in the door to a messy house and laundry room.

This week host Ace McKay, looks into podcast central with “poco a poco” we reflect on how true kingship flows from sonship as we journey through this Jubilee and “The Messy Family” shares more on the reality that Family culture is the invisible architecture of your home. It gives your children identity, belonging, and purpose.

Why It Matters: Jacob's family was shaped by deep division between his wives, Leah and Rachel. Though God had a purpose for the whole family, Jacob's love for Rachel and neglect of Leah created a cycle of competition, insecurity, and pain. Their children inherited that tension—brothers divided not just by personality, but by the favoritism and rivalry rooted in their mothers' relationship.Blended families are not new, and Scripture doesn't hide their complexity. But God calls us to something higher: unity, compassion, and fairness. When we show favoritism—like Jacob did—it doesn't just affect one child; it wounds the whole family. Hearts break, relationships fracture, and peace is lost.Bottom Line: Blended families don't need perfection—they need patience.WANT TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SERMON? https://www.experiencechurch.tv/sermonsWant to hear more sermons? https://www.experiencechurch.tv/sermonsWant to support the ministry? https://www.experiencechurch.tv/give-nowWant to plan your visit? https://www.experiencechurch.tv/planyourvisit

Born in a Barn | Jesus' Messy Family by Dresden.Church

SCRIPTURE = Matthew 1:1-17

Every Christmas season, we are drawn in by the lights and beauty of the season. However, the reason we celebrate Christmas willingly left more majesty than we can imagine to be born into a mess — both literally and figuratively.

They say never mix family and business, but sometimes in agriculture that is easier said than done. Family matters can get messy, especially when a new member joins that family. What are they entitled to, how are those details ironed out and why is the process so important? We cover that with Wright and Moore on this Ohio Farm Bureau Podcast. Plus, power needs are increasing and power resources are becoming more diverse. What does that all mean for energy use in rural Ohio and beyond in the near and distant future? The next leader of Ohio Electric Cooperatives weighs in with his thoughts.

Boundaries are not meant to keep people out, but to set a clear understanding of what is acceptable and what is not within our relationships   At a few of our events, we have gotten questions from older parents who ask what to do about adult children who have cut them out of their lives.  At first we were surprised by this question, since the parents who attend our events are usually not ax-murderers or reprobates.  But then we realized that this seems to be a disturbing trend in our culture - young people who find fault with their parents and therefore choose to disown them.  Because we serve parents, we wanted to give a different take on the “wisdom of the world” and challenge our listeners to set boundaries and be healthy, but in a way that still honors the commandment that God gave us to honor your mother and father.  Yes, some of us have grown up in dysfunctional homes, but that does not mean that our families of origin should still have power over us.  Listen in as we help color in some gray to a discussion that is far from black and white.     Key Takeaways: No one should have the right to “push our buttons”.  We need to be free in our relationships even when people are unhealthy. Boundaries are good things to keep our families peaceful. You can't replace your family - for good or for bad, they belong to you and you belong to them.  One of the Ten Commandments is to honor your father and mother.  This is God's idea, not ours and it needs to be taken very seriously   Couple Discussion: How can we honor our father and mother appropriately?   How would we want our children to treat us someday?  What are good boundaries for our holiday visits with family?    Resources Dennis Prager Video: https://www.prageru.com/video/your-parents-dont-deserve-this?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_8266139 Great article from Catholic Psych - https://www.catholicpsych.com/blog/a-catholic-approach-to-dealing-with-difficult-relationships  Forgiveness- Shalom series https://www.shalomworld.org/episode/forgiveness-in-the-family-susan-and-urby-potvin
