The conversation this episode opens.
Scripture: Genesis 16:1–16
What does this passage establish, and how can we explain it from its words?
By the end of this teaching: Follow the actions and voices in Genesis 16, distinguish unequal power from imagined consent, and explain the limits of applying Hagar’s instruction to another person.
See who has power to make the plan
Hear the flight and the address
Read the difficult instruction without weaponizing it
Follow divine attention without erasing a person
A practice to consider: Use a fictional committee decision or a private example. Who carries the cost of the plan, and how can their voice and actual freedom be respected?
