Blessing, Birthright & the Right Hand of God | Genesis 48

What does it mean to bless—and can a blessing actually do something? In this episode, Pastors David Buchs and Joshua Reber unpack Genesis 48, where Jacob crosses his hands to bless Ephraim over Manasseh. Along the way, they explore right and left hands in Scripture, replacement and reversal, Bethlehem’s hidden theology, and why hermeneutics debates matter more than we think. From ancient councils to modern counseling, this conversation moves from patriarchal blessings to pastoral care—always asking: How does God’s Word actually change people?
