Hi everyone, this week I’m sharing with you my thoughts and reflections on Abram’s calling and origin story in Genesis 11:27-12:9. If you’d like to study with me, pause the video/podcast after each verse and do your own study. Then come back and share your thoughts with me in the comments section. Has God been challenging you to step out in a new direction?
