035: The Birth of Isaac: Stefani McDade (Genesis 21:1-7)
Stefani McDade of The Roys Report (formerly with Christianity Today as a writer and editor) joins the podcast with Mike Mason and Dave Lester to talk about her forthcoming book: Unveiled Faces: Reflecting Jesus in a World that Distorts His Image (Out in the Spring of 2027 through InterVarsity Press).
We also explore the birth of Isaac to Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 21:1-7. The trio discusses their own experiences becoming parents with surprising emotion. The reflection is on how when we first saw our kids come into the world, it felt like a miracle. Also discussed is why children are circumcised on the 8th day according to Jewish tradition and culture and more.
