Let us know how this Episode helped you here!

Jacob's struggle with his identity and worth stemmed from a deep insecurity and fear of not measuring up to what he believed he was destined to be. He felt the weight of his inadequacies and constantly sought validation and fulfillment through his own efforts rather than trusting in God's plan for his life.

Despite his strong ambition and desire for greatness, Jacob's lack of faith and reliance on himself led to a cycle of deceit, manipulation, and comparison with others. He believed that he needed to constantly prove his worth and achieve success on his own terms, rather than surrendering to God's will for his life.

Jacob's inability to bridge the gap between who he was and who he wanted to be, ultimately caused him much pain and struggle. It was only after a series of trials and encounters with God that he began to understand the importance of surrendering to God's plan and trusting in His grace to fulfill his destiny. Jacob seemed to forget that true fulfillment and greatness comes from aligning oneself with God's will, rather than relying on one's own efforts and ambitions.

But then he wrestled an angel.

And he accepted himself.

And he got a new name.
