Episode 199: Genesis 26 Explained: Isaac, Conflict, and God’s Blessing

Genesis 26 is more than a Bible story—it’s a leadership case study.

In this episode of The Today Counts Show, Jim Piper Jr. is joined by Gary Harpst, Winston Harris, and Matt Martin for a roundtable conversation exploring the timeless lessons of Genesis 26, focusing on Isaac’s leadership, conflict, obedience, and trust in God.

As Isaac faces opposition, scarcity, and repeated conflict over wells, this discussion unpacks what it means to lead with humility, perseverance, and faith under pressure. The group examines how God’s blessing often attracts resistance—and why wisdom sometimes means knowing when to contend and when to move on.

Whether you’re a leader, pastor, entrepreneur, or Bible student, this episode connects biblical wisdom to modern leadership challenges, including:

Navigating conflict without losing character

Trusting God’s promises in seasons of resistance

Leading with integrity when success creates tension

Learning when persistence matters—and when peace matters more

If you’re searching for a Genesis 26 Bible study, Christian leadership insights, or practical lessons on faith, conflict resolution, and obedience, this episode offers clarity, depth, and real-world application.
