Ep. 8 - A Deep Dive into Genesis 1

Welcome to the beginning. This episode covers a deep dive into Genesis in a way the original audience would understand. It answers the questions of who created the cosmos, why was it called good, and what it means to be made in the image of God. The previous two episodes will get listeners into the ancient near eastern mindset beforehand!
