Abraham | Who Was He Really?

Episode 2.27

Father of Faith: The Life and Legacy of Abraham – Episode 1

Before he was the father of nations, Abraham was just a man from an idol-worshiping city in Mesopotamia. In this episode, we trace his early life—from Ur to Haran to Canaan. We explore where he came from, why he was called, and how he responded. Was Abraham just a nomad with faith—or a bold witness to Yahweh in hostile territory?

We dig into the historical and archaeological background of Ur, the journey through ancient Mesopotamia, and what it meant to build altars in Canaan. We also address the common question: was Abraham an Arab? And what does it mean that he “called on the name of the Lord”?

This episode sets the foundation for understanding Abraham’s legacy—and how his faith journey mirrors our own.
