On this week’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is joined by longtime internet friend Kruptos, who is a pastor, internet poster, and writer. The two of them discussed the Genesis 32 story of Jacob’s wrestling with God. They discuss what the core meaning of the story is, what’s significant about Jacob’s renaming, the importance of overcoming and conquering, what it means to follow God, and whether Jacob’s wrestling with God and Man is a salvation act. The two draw on other scriptures to make their point, like Genesis 25 & 27, Revelation 2 & 3, Colossians 3, Luke 14, Hebrews 12, 2 Corinthians 5, and many other passages. Tune in now!
