S1 E13: Does God Like BBQ? Abraham’s Tent and Sarah’s Accidental Laugh

In this episode Nathan and Brad dive into Genesis 18, exploring the mysterious visit of three men to Abraham at the oaks of Mamre. They unpack the theological depth of this passage, revealing how one of these visitors is none other than Yahweh Himself, physically manifested, alongside two angels. Drawing parallels to Ovid’s Metamorphoses and its tale of divine visitors, they discuss how Abraham’s radical hospitality (washing feet, preparing a feast, and offering shelter) sets a powerful example for believers today.The episode delves into the promise of Isaac’s birth, Sarah’s laughter, and Abraham’s bold negotiation with God over Sodom’s fate, highlighting themes of faith, righteousness, and justice. Nathan and Brad connect these events to New Testament teachings, like Hebrews 13:2 and Romans 12:13, emphasizing the Christian call to show hospitality to strangers, who might just be angels unaware. From the Trinity’s foreshadowing to practical lessons on generosity, this episode ties ancient encounters to modern faith.
