SUPPORT HEART DIVE

Day 023 Genesis 32-34

Day 023 Genesis 32-34

Welcome to Day 023. Jacob is terrified. He’s about to face Esau, the brother he cheated years ago. He sends gifts ahead, trying to appease. But that night, he encounters God in a wrestling match.

Jacob fights all night. He’s injured, exhausted, but he won’t let go. And God renames him: Jacob (the deceiver) becomes Israel (he who wrestles with God). His identity is transformed through this encounter.

Later, we meet Dinah, Jacob’s daughter, and a darker story unfolds. It reminds us that even God’s chosen family lives in a broken world.

The Heartbeat: God meets us in our struggle. He doesn’t avoid the wrestling—He engages it. And through that encounter, He transforms us. A new name, a new identity, a new purpose. We are not who we were.

Heart-Check: What has God been wrestling with you about? Are you willing to let Him transform who you are?

Before Heart Dive

Our Foundation: In 2023, Kanoe took the first dive. It began as a raw, real-time experimental Bible study in consistency; a commitment to walk through the Word chronologically and see what happened when we showed up for God every day.

This was where Heart Dive was birthed, not as a ministry but as a personal call to obedience. Kanoe didn’t intend for it to catch fire and grow beyond her “junk journaling” of #NOTESandHUES.

Yet, it was where she found her rhythm, testing the waters of daily video commentary and discovering a community of “Heart Divers” hungry for more than just a surface-level reading.

These early reflections may contain doctrinal or technical errors. We ask for your grace as you listen, and always encourage you to study the Word for yourself.
