The Setup

Alright, so here’s the scene. We’re in the Book of Genesis, the OG book of the Bible. This is where it all begins. Abraham, originally named Abram, is the guy we're focusing on. God promised him he’d be the father of many nations, but right now, he's living the nomad life with his wife, Sarai.

A famine hits the land, and things get real. Abraham and Sarai decide to head down to Egypt to ride it out. They’re hoping to find some food and safety there, but the trip soon takes a wild turn. Abraham, in a moment of fear and doubt, makes a decision that isn’t exactly…heroic.
