WestWay in 8- Hearing God Isn't the Same as Obeying God
God was present in both Jacob’s life and Laban’s life, but His presence produced two very different responses. Jacob was learning to trust God, while Laban continued resisting Him. In this episode of WestWay in 8, John explores the difference between hearing God’s Word and actually responding to it—and asks a question worth considering: What’s something God has been showing you that you haven’t responded to yet?

The 1015 - What Difference Has God Made?
Throughout Jacob’s story, we’ve watched God transform a man who relied on his own skill, cunning, and manipulation into someone who is learning to trust the LORD. In Genesis 31, God’s faithful presence is unmistakable: when Laban turns against Jacob, God remains with him; when Laban exploits him, God provides for him; and when Laban threatens him, God protects him. But while God’s presence is transforming Jacob, Laban’s continued resistance to God is hardening his heart and distorting his understanding of reality. As Jacob’s story moves toward his encounter with God in Genesis 32, we’re confronted with an important question: Is God’s presence transforming us, or are we becoming increasingly resistant to Him?

When Relationships Become Scoreboards
What happens when we expect the people in our lives to give us something only God can provide?
In this episode of WestWay in 8, John revisits the story of Leah and Rachel in Genesis 29–30 and explores how comparison, competition, and our desire for control can damage our relationships.
We’ll consider what it means to remember that God sees us, why the people we love can complement us but cannot complete us, and how finding our identity in Christ frees us to love others without keeping score.
