In this episode, I'm talking about Genesis 3 and the origin of messed-up homes. We'll talk about why husbands and wives have such a hard time deciding who does what at home. This means we are talking biblical submission.... but also, biblical sacrifice, rooted in Ephesians 5. The Trad Wife trend is blowing up on TikTok. Why do so many women want to be stay-at-home moms? AND why are many men defaulting to being stay-at-home dad's instead?

Ex Nihilo means "from nothing". It comes from Genesis 1, where the Bible says God made man “from nothing” or “out of nothing”. Back then, God made humanity good, right and perfect. There were no illnesses, sicknesses or chronic diseases. Humanity lived completely in sync with God and his created order. After sin entered the world, humanity’s relationship with God was fractured as was the relationship between humanity and creation.

The reason we get sick, experience pain or die is because of what happened in the Garden when Eve bit the apple and sin entered the world. Luckily Jesus came into the world to restore the relationship between God, humanity and creation, and one day, we will no longer experience any of the affects of sin. But until that day, we have a responsibility to steward what God has given us. This includes our minds, bodies and spirits.

Ex Nihilo Health is about reclaiming some of what we lost in the Garden with diet, exercise and physical health.

While we won’t fully get what we lost until Jesus comes back, we can inch closer towards the ideal of feeling good, performing well and living longer by carefully stewarding our bodies.
