The Rocking Chair: Genesis Chapter 30 - From Dysfunction to Divine Blessing

Dive deep into one of the wildest, most dramatic, and surprisingly ironic chapters in the entire Bible — Genesis 30 explained verse by verse!

In this video we unpack:
✅ The explosive rivalry between Rachel and Leah (sister wives drama at peak levels)
✅ The infamous mandrakes incident — why Reuben’s flowers caused a family meltdown
✅ Jacob’s “striped and speckled sheep” strategy — ancient breeding hack or divine miracle?
✅ How God remains faithful to His covenant with Abraham even in the middle of deception, jealousy, and family dysfunction
✅ The birth of almost all the 12 tribes of Israel in spite of conspiracies, selfish ambition, and bareness.

Whether you’re doing a daily Bible study, teaching Sunday school, or just love interesting Old Testament stories, Genesis 30 has jealousy, bargaining, revenge plots, and ultimately the unstoppable grace of God.
