The Aetherlight Episode 2 Family PlanSample

Making the Most of Things

The next 5 studies refer to the quests ‘The Flying L,’ 'Routine Maintenance,' 'A Mysterious Device,' and 'Copper Petal' in The Aetherlight: Chronicles of the Resistance Episode 2.

If Jacob, Laban, Rachel and Leah were around today, they'd probably have their own reality TV show. Their family dynamic is pretty messed up from the outset. Think about what God has to work with here. Does it look like a good foundation for God's plan to restore the world? Whose interests do these people seem to have most in mind?

Something to think about while you are reading today’s passage:

This part of Jacob's story starts with the tables being turned on him. It sets the scene for tension between all the characters on the page. What does it say about how he can use God's plan in this family? Does the messiness of human relationships prevent God from working here?

Something to talk about with players of The Aetherlight:

In The Aetherlight, Julian arrives on the Flying L, a floating junk heap, and has to work with two squabbling sisters and a con man more crooked than he ever was. Ask players if they think Scarlet Man is punishing Julian by assigning him here or giving him a chance. How does that reflect on Jacob's story?
