CORRECTION: We hold Scripture in high regard and in this episode, we got a little confused on some details so we want to address that here. The account to which we refer of Cain and Abel is found in Genesis 4. Abel actually kept flocks, and Cain worked with fruit of the soil. Scripture says Cain brought "some of fruits" to God; Abel brought select "fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock." Can you see the difference in detail and the forethought? the heart behind the behavior?

In this episode we discuss choosing to bring in sibling connection rather than accept "sibling rivalry" as well as disconnecting the word "proud" from performance. We also discuss the parental investment of time, money and protection of margin, as well as relational rupture and repair.
