It’s All Sacred | What if Genesis 3 is the final act of creation?

It goes without saying that the past 18 months have been hard. Whether you are a parent, someone who lost a job or a loved one, or someone who experienced an immense amount of loneliness in 2020, this has been a tough season. A racial reckoning and call for reconciliation and justice has been at the forefront of our lives. And politics has seemingly never been more polarized and tense. 

How does a season of such hardship impact how we read the Bible...especially when many of us have been taught that perfection, holiness, purity (a Genesis 1 and 2) world are the standard? 

How does the story of Genesis 3 impact how we read the Bible? Is this is a chapter of brokenness? Is this a chapter of relationship? Could it be a bit of both. 

What if Genesis 3 is not the aberration or the exception to a perfect creation, but is the final act of creation? What if Genesis 3 helps us understand the nature of God, who is always moving humanity towards relational wholeness?

Enjoy episode 12!
