Ep. 189 - Obeying When It Doesn’t Make Sense (Genesis 22 Study)

Send a text

In Genesis 22, God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac—a command that defies logic, comfort, and human reasoning. Yet within this moment we discover one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: faith is proven through obedience.

In this episode of The Today Counts Show with Jim Piper Jr., we explore what it really means to trust God when life doesn’t make sense. Obedience isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it—and it always leads to God’s provision in His timing and His way.

In this episode, we discuss:

What Genesis 22 reveals about faith, obedience, and surrender

Why God allows seasons of testing and stretching

The connection between obedience and purpose

Leadership under pressure—what Abraham teaches us

How trust grows when obedience comes before understanding

If you're leading a family, a team, a business—or simply leading yourself—this episode will challenge and encourage you to follow God courageously, even when the path is unclear.

Because how you live today really does count.
