Therefore: Jacob & Grasping, Wrestling, and Surrender

How do we wrestle with God without grasping for control, and how do we surrender without becoming apathetic? In this episode of Therefore, Dawson Jones and Bo Noonan explore the story of Jacob, a man who genuinely desired God’s blessing but often sought to secure it on his own terms. From his encounter with God at Bethel to his mysterious wrestling match at Peniel, Jacob’s story invites us to consider the relationship between desire, striving, surrender, and faith. The therefore invitation is to seek to pursue God’s promises with persistence while learning to trust in his faithfulness.
