Would you notice if a screen started replacing your real relationships? Pastor Geoff opens week three of Obsession with a live conversation with AI, then turns it into a bigger question - what happens when the things we chase (power, acceptance, significance, sex) start making our decisions for us? He walks through one of the messiest family stories in the Bible - Jacob, Laban, Leah, and Rachel in Genesis 29 and 30 - and lands on a choice every one of us has to make: the pain of obsession, or the pain of discipline that actually goes somewhere good.
