The Story & Study of Scripture

5. The Creation & Corruption (Genesis 1 - 11)

Why does the world feel so beautiful… and so broken?

In this episode, we journey back to Genesis 1–11 — the beginning of everything. Before the pain, before the exile, before the flood… there was Eden. A garden filled with purpose, peace, and the presence of God. But the story doesn’t stay perfect for long.

We’ll explore:

  • ​ God’s original design for His Kingdom: His people, in His place, under His rule
  • ​ The serpent’s lie and humanity’s fall
  • ​ The first gospel promise (Genesis 3:15) and the search for the promised Headcrusher
  • ​ The tragic spiral of Cain, the flood, and Babel
  • ​ And how Jesus is the true and better Adam, the Ark of salvation, and the One who crushes the serpent for good

Genesis 1–11 isn’t a myth or a prequel. It’s the foundation of the greatest story ever told — and every thread leads to Jesus.

If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the chaos… this episode will help you see that from the very beginning, He had a plan — and it includes you.

One story. One Savior. And a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
