Finding Isaac’s Wife (Genesis 23-25)

Today we spend some time just enjoying the story! God has fulfilled His promise to Abraham and Sarah. In this episode Abraham sends his servant to find Isaac a wife. This is also Abraham and Sarah’s last episode, because they both…spoiler alert…die. But don’t worry, it was after very long faithful lives (RIP). So we are launching into the story of next man in the line of patriarchs - Isaac. Hope you enjoy!
