About this episode
We asked Chad Bird about what it means to wrestle with God. Later this summer, he's coming out with his book on Jacob: "Limping with God." Our discussion went from Jacob being renamed to "Israel" which means "wrestles with God" and how wrestling with God was a keyhole to the crucifixion.
We pivot a bit to the Psalms, where God actually puts bold words in our mouths that we are allowed to say to him, and then move onto Job, who asked God the hard questions, and what God has to say about that.
