This week we look at the story of Hagar and Ishmael. As time drags on and the promised seed of Abram is not yet here, patience has worn thin. What does the episode with Hagar and the birth of Ishmael mean for Abram and Sarai? How has sin started to tangle God’s redemptive plan? Is Ishmael the promised descendant? We look into all of that this week.
Hosted by John McCambridge and Jackie Mitchell.

Story / Symbol / Spirit is a podcast about how to make sense of Scripture. The Bible is a beautiful gift from God with the power to help us know God and better understand our lives, identity, meaning, and purpose. But for many people, reading the Bible is difficult. The ancient and confusing nature of the stories within the Bible are often prohibitive to our engagement and learning. How can we make sense of the Scriptures?
We believe that Story / Symbol / Spirit is a helpful framework to begin this journey.
