Unshaken: Chapter a Day

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 36 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail A genealogy can look like dead space on the page until you realize it is doing something stories cannot do: it anchors identity. We dig into Genesis 36 and the Toledot structure of Genesis, showing how the book is intentionally organized around ten “generations” sections that guide you through covenant history. Once you see that map, the name lists stop feeling random and start re...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 35 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail God protects Jacob right after one of the darkest moments in his family story, and that alone raises a question you cannot dodge: what do you do when divine mercy feels morally complicated? We sit in Genesis 35 and talk through the aftermath of Shechem, where Jacob’s household becomes infamous, yet God still preserves them because he has a covenant promise to keep. From there, the...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 34 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail A rape, a rushed marriage offer, and a revenge plan so calculated it still shocks modern readers, Genesis 34 doesn’t let anyone stay comfortable. We sit with the mess of Dinah and Shechem and ask the question people whisper when life goes dark: if God is present, why doesn’t He stop it? We trace how Jacob’s choices set the stage, especially his decision to stop short of full obedi...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 33 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail Fear has a way of rewriting the future before it happens, and Genesis 33 starts with Jacob bracing for the worst. We pick up right where the wrestling match with God leaves off, and we talk through the shock of what comes next: Jacob finally meets Esau and discovers that the face he dreaded is the face that welcomes him. That turn from anxiety to acceptance is not just a family dr...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 31 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail A family flees in secret, an idol goes missing, and two lifelong manipulators finally meet their match. Genesis 31 is messy on purpose, and we lean into that mess as we follow Jacob’s decision to leave Laban’s house, the resentment that builds as Jacob prospers, and the surprising timing of God’s clear direction to move on. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can trust God’s leadi...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 30 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail “Give me children, or I shall die” is one of those lines that stops you cold, because it doesn’t just describe pain, it reveals worship. We sit with Genesis 30 and trace how infertility, loneliness, and comparison ignite envy in Rachel and Leah, turning a home into a pressure cooker of rivalry. The question underneath the drama is painfully relevant: when a good desire becomes a d...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 29 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail A wedding story with a plot twist, a family shaped by schemes, and a God who keeps working anyway. Genesis 29 has romance on the surface, but once you slow down it becomes a sharp mirror for the ways we chase love, control outcomes, and justify messy choices because we’re sure we know what “should” happen.  We talk through Jacob meeting Rachel at the well, the famous kiss, and tha...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek Reads Genesis 28 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail A man on the run uses a rock for a pillow, falls asleep in the dark, and wakes up with a picture of heaven breaking into earth. That’s Genesis 28, and it’s where we watch Jacob’s story shift from family drama to a personal encounter with God at Bethel, the “house of God.” We talk through the ladder or stairway vision and why it matters for anyone who has ever wondered if God is ac...

Send us Fan Mail Four hundred men. That’s what Jacob hears is coming toward him with Esau, and suddenly the past isn’t “back then” anymore, it’s right in front of him. We sit with the tension of Genesis 32 and ask what you do when fear is legitimate, relationships are complicated, and you can’t muscle your way into a clean outcome. We talk about the surprising change in Jacob: he plans, yes, but h...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 27 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail A single sentence from a father can echo for decades, and Genesis 27 proves it. We sit with the Jacob and Esau story and ask the question most readers feel in their gut: why can’t Isaac just “give another blessing”? As we talk it through, the blessing starts to look less like a sentimental moment and more like a binding, irreversible transfer of legacy, identity, and future, somet...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 26 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail Fear makes smart people do strange things. Genesis 26 puts that on full display as Isaac faces famine, hears God tell him to stay in the promised land, and then falls into the same protective patterns his father used, including the “she’s my sister” half-truth in Abimelech’s kingdom. We talk honestly about why fear feels logical in the moment, how spiritual amnesia makes us forget...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Plek reads Genesis 24 Text us at 737-231-0605 with any questions.

Send us Fan Mail The first recorded prayer in the Bible isn’t poetic or vague, it’s laser-specific, and it shows up in the middle of a very practical problem: finding a wife for Isaac. We walk through Genesis 24, the longest chapter in Genesis, and pull on the threads that make it surprisingly relevant to modern life, especially if you’ve ever wondered how to pray with faith when the stakes feel h...
