Who are the Patriarchs? What do we know about their lives? Jeff Cavins is joined by Biblical scholar, Dr. Mary Healy, to examine the lives of some of the key figures in the Old Testament: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.
Together, they discuss the trials, failings, and achievements of each man's life. They also weave their stories together to show how God worked through them to bring about his will and eventually the salvation of the world.
