Summary

Explore how reexamining Genesis 1–3 reveals a richer biblical anthropology, challenging traditional evangelical interpretations and uncovering what it truly means to be human. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford delve into the implications of understanding Genesis beyond scientific literalism and how it shapes our perception of Jesus's mission.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding Genesis Beyond Science – How Genesis focuses on metaphysical questions of meaning and purpose rather than material origins.

• Reframing Our Human Story – Discovering how the starting point of our human story in Genesis impacts our understanding of what Jesus came to do.

• Embracing a Richer Biblical Anthropology – Exploring a more compelling picture of humanity as presented in Genesis, and its implications for mental health, sexuality, and embracing our limitations.

• Moving Beyond Literalism – Discussing how reading Genesis with curiosity and humility allows us to grasp the theological messages intended for the original audience.

Guest Highlights:

Seth Erie – Mike's son joins with humorous interludes, reminding us of the joy and authenticity in being human.
