EPISODE NOTES
Hello everyone, and welcome back to a brand new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew!
Today, I will be delving into the compelling story of Sarai, Abram, and Hagar.
If you don’t know much about this tale, let me give you a quick summary.
The story starts with a married couple, Sarai and Abram, who are finding it difficult to have children. Because of that, Sarai tells her husband to sleep with her Egyptian maid, Hagar.
However, once that happens and Hagar gets pregnant, her demeanor changes and she starts looking down on Sarai.
Angry and upset, Sarai asks her husband to expel Hagar, but he refuses.
So, she starts mistreating her, and Hagar, tired of this, flees her mistress. However, Hagar’s fate changes when she encounters an angel.
What message did the angel have for Hagar? And what were the consequences of her pregnancy? I answer these two questions in today’s episode, so tune in now!
