Jacob’s homeward journey in Genesis 32 is anything but smooth sailing. With Laban behind him and a furious Esau ahead, Jacob encounters heavenly angels , pleads for deliverance, and winds up in an all-night wrestling match with God Himself . In the struggle, the schemer finally surrenders—and God renames him “Israel,” marking a new identity and limp that will shape a nation . Join Sam and Will as they unpack fear versus faith, guardian-angel promises, and why real blessing begins when we stop striving and cling to God.
