0:06.0	Hey there, I'm Christine, and I'm so excited to welcome you to the Equip and Empower podcast.
0:11.6	Now, my prayer is that our time together each week encourages you,
0:15.6	awakens you to the purposes of God in your life,
0:18.1	and activates you to follow Jesus wholeheartedly as you live on mission for
0:22.3	him. I'm so glad that you've joined me today. I'm believing that God is going to speak to you
0:29.0	through His word and that you're going to be equipped and empowered to fulfill your God-given purpose.
0:34.2	You know, when they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I have to agree when
0:38.2	it comes to my youngest daughter, Sophia. Just like her mum, that girl came out of the womb

1:24.6	that are found in scripture. We see all of these three questions in Genesis
1:28.9	chapter three. Now, of course, you know I so badly want to say something about the significance of
1:33.7	the number three in the Bible because it's often seen as representing completeness or perfection.
1:39.1	But I'm going to stick to the point today. And let's turn together to Genesis chapter three.
1:44.0	This is the word of the Lord. Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the point today. And let's turn together to Genesis chapter 3. This is the word of the Lord.
1:45.5	Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made.
