The Lord Is In This Place

In this week’s episode, Simon explores the story of Jacob—a man in process and whose life is marked by struggle, fear, manipulation, broken relationships, and long seasons of waiting.

Simon then highlights how God shows up in unexpected ways, allowing Jacob to experience His presence and provision in the midst of fear, insecurity, and moments of deep loneliness.

The episode also examines how Jacob the deceiver is himself deceived, yet God’s faithfulness remains. As Jacob wrestles with God, he receives a new name, marking a turning point in his story.

Digging Deeper Reflection Questions:

1. Looking back, where might God have been present during a time you felt alone or unaware of Him? How does recognizing that change the way you remember that moment?

2. In a sport—and a world—that values control and toughness, how difficult is it for you to be honest with God about fear, doubt, or frustration?

3. If God gave you a new name today, what false identity might He be asking you to let go of?

We hope this week’s readings, episode, and Digging Deeper reflection questions both challenge and encourage you.
