Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! (https://rss.com/podcasts/unscriptured/voicemail)
In this week's episode, we cover Genesis chapters 16-19. Abram and Sarai are settled into a routine on the ranch, but they're still childless, and discontent is brewing. That's not all that's brewing, as God gets wind of some pretty disgusting stuff going on in Sodom and Gomorrah and decides to investigate for Himself. It doesn't turn out well for the Sodomites. And Lot's daughters do the unthinkable.
Warning: This episode may be uncomfortable for more sensitive listeners. Please be aware that some of the situations we cover are adult in nature.

Abram and Sarai
In this episode, we begin the story of Abram and Sarai, who will soon get new names - Abraham and Sarah. This is the origin story of the Israelites, of Judeo-Christianity, and by extension much of Western civilization. But like all great stories, there will be plenty of strife and adventure first.

Noah, the Flood and Babel
In this episode, we talk about Genesis chapters 5-11. God's just about had it with people and ready to wipe them out. But there's this one family that presents a possibility for a righteous thread of humanity. "Everybody, meet Noah. Noah, this is 'everybody.' We think they'd like to hear your story." Also, how did we get from one family in one land with one language to the modern craziness?
