About this episode
In the book of Genesis, there are few things more powerful than the spoken blessing handed down from fathers to their sons. Offering a blessing became integral to life in Israel, and it continues to play an important role in equipping the next generation. Through giving our blessing, we confirm our commitment to raise our children in Christ, and clarify their own relationship to the Lord.
