28. Covenants, Promises, Fire Pots, and Torches - Gen. 15

This week we look at a strange scene when God appears to Abram and officially cuts the covenant with him. What does it mean that Abram goes into a deep sleep? What about the thick and dreadful darkness? And what is the deal with the smoking firepot and flaming torch? We dive into all of that this week!Hosted by John McCambridge and Jackie Mitchell.---Story / Symbol / Spirit is a podcast about how to make sense of Scripture. The Bible is a beautiful gift from God with the power to help us know God and better understand our lives, identity, meaning, and purpose. But for many people, reading the Bible is difficult. The ancient and confusing nature of the stories within the Bible are often prohibitive to our engagement and learning. How can we make sense of the Scriptures.We believe that Story / Symbol / Spirit is a helpful framework to begin this journey.
