Have you ever caught yourself making excuses instead of simply admitting when you're wrong? Dr. Robert Jackson unpacks this universal human tendency by examining Genesis 3:12-13, where we witness humanity's first blame-shifting moment.

Drawing from his medical practice, Dr. Jackson shares revealing parallels between Adam and Eve's garden excuses and our modern-day justifications. Patients who fail to lose weight blame allergies and weather rather than admit non-compliance. Those who skip medication create elaborate stories instead of acknowledging their choices. As Dr. Jackson pointedly observes, "An excuse is the thin skin of a lie"—a truth that cuts straight to our hearts.

The consequences of blame-shifting extend far beyond mere dishonesty. Through Psalm 32, we discover the profound physical and emotional toll of unconfessed sin: wasted strength, constant groaning, and vitality drained "as with the fever heat of summer." Conversely, honest confession brings extraordinary relief. The path forward is beautifully clear yet challenging: name your sins specifically without excuse, genuinely repent by turning from old patterns, and receive Jesus as your only Savior. Just as God provided a sacrificial covering in Eden, pointing to Christ's ultimate sacrifice, we find our hope in "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world."

Ready to move from excuse-making to honest confession? This episode offers practical wisdom for experiencing the freedom that comes when we stop shifting blame and start embracing truth. Subscribe now and join us next week as we explore the consequences of sin and the curse upon humanity, Lucifer, and our planet.
