Welcome back to the show, I'm Justin Briley, Director of Premier Unbelievably, and this

0:21.4

show brought to you in partnership with SBCK and NTRIGHT Online. In fact, we've got links

to special deals to both of our partners with today's show. And on the show today, we're

0:32.0

asking, why did God make childbirth difficult? More questions about Adam, Eve, Eden and

0:38.4

the Fall today. Today, Tom will be answering questions like, were Adam and Eve's pre-fall

0:42.7
