Episodes
Episode 21: The Descendants of Adam
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 11 of 20)
Passage: Genesis 5:1–32
Genesis 5 looks, at first glance, like a long obituary column: “and he died… and he died… and he died.” The genealogy from Adam to Noah reads like a graveyard carved into Scripture, reminding us that the curse of sin spares no generation. Death reigns, even over men who lived for centuries.
But in the middle of this fun...
Episode 20: Cain and Abel
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 10 of 20)
Genesis 4:1–16
Sibling rivalry. Jealousy. Worship gone wrong. Genesis 4 reads like a crime scene from humanity’s first family—and it ends in blood. Two brothers bring offerings. Abel offers the first and best, by faith. Cain brings something less. God has regard for one and not the other. And when jealousy festers, worship turns to wrath.
But before the...
Episode 19: Rebellion #1 – The Fall Part 3: The Consequences and the Promise
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 9 of 20)
Genesis 3:14–24
Sometimes the worst news and the best news arrive in the same breath. That’s Genesis 3. The gavel falls—curse, exile, death. But right there, in the middle of judgment, mercy speaks: a Deliverer will come, and He will crush the serpent’s head.
In this passage, we see the fallout of rebell...
Episode 18: Rebellion #1 – The Fall Part 2: You Can’t Hide from God
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 8 of 20)
Genesis 3:8–13
You can run—but you can’t hide. Not from Him.
In Eden, the sound of God’s footsteps once brought joy. But after sin, Adam and Eve hid among the trees, clutching fig leaves of fear and shame. The same God who formed them with His hands now comes walking toward them. And instead of thunder or fire, H...
Episode 17: Rebellion #1 – The Fall Part 1: Failure to Obey
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 7 of 20)
Genesis 3:1–7
“The world ain’t s’pposed to work like this.” Those words from a tow-truck driver at the Grand Canyon echo the heart of Genesis 3. What God made as shalom—peace, beauty, order—was vandalized in a single moment of doubt.
It didn’t begin with a sword or a scream, but with a question: “Did God really say…?” Th...
Episode 16: Creation Part 4 – Man and Woman
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 6 of 20)
Genesis 2:4–25
Eden wasn’t just paradise—it was sacred space.
In Genesis 2, the camera zooms in from the grandeur of the cosmos to the intimacy of a garden. Here, God doesn’t merely speak man into existence—He stoops, forms him from the dust, and breathes life into his lungs. Dust and glory. Earth-born, yet filled with divine breath.
The...
Episode 15: Creation Part 3 – Man’s Purpose
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 5 of 20)
Genesis 1:28; 2:1–3
Purpose isn’t something you chase. It’s something you were given.
When God created humanity, He didn’t leave us guessing. The very first words He spoke to mankind weren’t suggestions, but a commission—five short imperatives that form our original job description: “Be fruitful. Multiply. Fill the earth. Subdue it. Rul...
Episode 14: Creation Part 2 – Our Image
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 4 of 20)
Genesis 1:26–27
Of all that God made, only one creation bears His image—humanity.
On the sixth day, God paused and spoke not in command, but in consultation: “Let Us make man in Our image.” With that, He stamped His likeness onto mankind—male and female—crowning them as His representatives on earth.
Theologians call this the Imago Dei, the d...
Episode 13: Creation Part 1 – Let’s Get This Place Ready
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel
Genesis 1:2–25
The Bible’s opening chapter doesn’t just tell us what God made—it shows us how He works.
In the beginning, the earth was tohu va-bohu—formless and void. Empty. Chaotic. Dark. Then God spoke. Light appeared. Waters parted. Land emerged. Plants sprouted. Stars took their stations. Birds took flight. Seas teemed with life. The fo...
Episode 12: In the Beginning
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel
Genesis 1:1
Before there was anything, there was God.
Genesis opens with the most radical sentence ever written: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”(Gen. 1:1, LSB)
This episode explores the verse that launches not just the Bible, but reality itself. We’ll walk through the Hebrew words, unpack the doctrine of creation ex nihilo (out of nothing), an...
Episode 11: Introduction to Creation to the Tower of Babel
Series: Creation to the Tower of Babel (Episode 1 of 20)
Genesis 1–11
Before the promises, there was the pattern.
Genesis 1–11 isn’t a mythic prologue—it’s the foundation of everything. These first chapters reveal the nature of God, the dignity of humanity, the tragedy of sin, and the beginning of grace. They answer life’s biggest questions: Who is God? What does it mean to be ...
