🎉 Season 2 Premiere & 1-Year Anniversary Special! 🎉

In this milestone episode of Caretakers of Creation, we celebrate one full year of exploring God’s Word and His creation together—and launch into Season 2 with a powerful conversation on Eve vs. Esau: Defiance, Obedience, and Outcomes.

Eve in the Garden and Esau at the stew pot both faced a choice: obey God and preserve their blessing, or give in to appetite and lose what mattered most. Their decisions shaped not only their lives, but the generations that followed.

Join James, Chris, and Allen as they unpack these stories and connect them to the choices we face today—whether in farming, family, or faith. What are we trading away when we chase short-term satisfaction over long-term obedience? How do defiance and obedience still determine outcomes in our own lives and in how we care for God’s creation?

✨ This episode marks a new season of deeper study, timely application, and encouragement for all who want to live as faithful stewards.

Key Takeaways:

The consequences of Eve’s and Esau’s choices in Scripture.

How appetite and temptation still challenge us today.

Why obedience brings long-term blessing and defiance leads to loss.

Practical lessons for faith, farming, and daily stewardship.

🙏 Thank you for walking with us through our first year. Here’s to Season 2—may God continue to guide us as we care for His creation together!

Join us as we reflect on what this ancient story teaches us about the heart behind our offerings, the consequences of our choices, and how we can respond with faithfulness rather than bitterness.

Tune in for insights that challenge us to examine our own hearts and our stewardship of God’s creation.

In Part 2 of our series on Numbers 11, we shift from ancient Israel’s wilderness to today’s food culture. What happens when our cravings still lead, rather than our calling? This episode explores how modern consumption habits reflect deeper spiritual problems—and what faithful, regenerative stewardship can look like in response.

In Part 1 of our two-part series on Numbers 11, we dive into Israel’s rebellion in the wilderness—where cravings outweighed gratitude, and God’s provision was met with complaint. We explore the spiritual depth of this often-overlooked chapter: how the people longed for meat instead of manna, and how God responded with both abundance and judgment.
