Get Your Hopes Up: Abraham, Sarah, and a God Who Keeps His Promises

🎙️ Show Notes

Episode Summary: In this powerful episode of Girl, Read Your Bible, we explore Genesis 15–18:19—a turning point in the story of Abraham and Sarah. God makes a covenant with Abraham, declaring him righteous because of his faith (Genesis 15:6), and promises the impossible: that he and Sarah will have a son, even in their old age.

Abraham believed, even when the facts said otherwise. Sarah laughed—but God didn’t back down. Because our God is not limited by biology, age, or timing. He’s faithful to fulfill His promises.

Whether you’re waiting for something that feels out of reach, or wondering if your faith is enough—this episode will encourage you to get your hopes up again. Our God still shows up, still speaks, and still delivers miracles.
