    Is our World Blessed or Cursed? | Genesis 1 : 27 - 31

    In this episode, Dr. Shalini Jebasingh explores Genesis 1:28 and asks a simple but important question: Is our world cursed, or has God already filled it with blessing?Many of us live as if God is far from everyday life and work is something we must struggle through on our own. But Genesis 1 shows that from the very beginning, God built blessing, growth, and flourishing into creation itself. Blessing is not an afterthought — it is part of how life was designed to function.This episode helps us see that God is not distant from our work, our relationships, or our daily responsibilities. He is close, sustaining His world, and inviting us to live and work with trust rather than fear of lack.This teaching explores:• What “blessing” means in the creation story• Why God calls creation good and delights in it• How seeing the world as blessed changes the way we work and relate to others• Why rest is an act of trust in God’s care• How generosity and meaning can still emerge even in hardshipDr. Shalini Jebasingh is a trauma-informed Critical Stress Management Coach, Values-Based Organizational Trainer, Biblical Workplace and Leadership Scholar, Developer of the proprietary SCRIBE Framework for Critical Stress Management, Developer of the research-based Love in Leadership Assessment, Founder of Eirene Group, and Founder of Bible at Work.
