Episode 29: Genesis Season One: When Trust Is the Foundation and the Fracture Begins
In this episode, we return to the overture of the biblical story—Genesis 1–3. Not just the beginning of the Bible, but the ache beneath every story we carry. These chapters introduce the world, the characters, the intent, and the obstacle of Scripture. They lay down themes that echo across the canon: creation, vocation, trust, fracture, and hope.
We explore three sacred movements:
🌅 Act I — Creation and Vocation
🌿 Act II — Communion and Trust
🌑 Act III — Fracture and Exile Genesis 1–3 is more than origin—it’s architecture. It shapes our theology of God’s goodness, human dignity, partnership, and the ache of separation. It reveals gospel echoes in fig leaves, trees, gardens, and bloodshed. It introduces the Seed, the Lamb, and the second Adam—Jesus, who answers the ache.
🎥 We also explore cinematic echoes in films like Arrival, The Tree of Life, and Interstellar—stories that remember Eden, name the fracture, and dare to hope for restoration.
📖 You’ll discover: Why starting the biblical story in Genesis 3 distorts the gospel How Eden’s imagery reverberates through Scripture and culture What foundational truths are revealed before the fall How Genesis reframes creation, vocation, and redemption How story-shaped theology renews our lens for discipleship If you’ve ever longed to read Scripture narratively, to see gospel truth in story, and to disciple through sacred patterns—this episode is for you. And begin your journey into story-shaped theology. Because discipleship lives in what we pay attention to… and in the stories we dare to enter.
