In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer unpacks Genesis 30:1–24 in The Holy Spirit’s Water, exploring the intense rivalry and jealousy between Rachel and Leah. We examine how their struggles for validation and purpose reveal deeper truths about human insecurity and God’s sovereignty. From the cultural implications of childbearing in ancient societies to the theological significance of God working through brokenness, this devotion reminds us that God’s plans are never derailed by human failings. We also connect this passage to New Covenant truths, showing how Christ fulfills our deepest needs and restores our identity.

In The Add-Ins, we focus on Leadership Principle #8—Discipline Equals Freedom and discuss how consistent self-discipline creates structure, reduces stress, and provides freedom to succeed in faith and life. Whether you’re building prayer habits, balancing responsibilities, or managing time effectively, this segment offers biblical insights and practical strategies to help you grow in discipline and experience the peace and freedom God promises.

Join us for this powerful episode as we learn to trust God’s plan and embrace discipline to reflect His purpose in our lives!
