Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke are joined by Dr. Justin Jackson of Hillsdale College, teacher of the Genesis course they’ve been studying for weeks. The guys debate over who’s the current “fat brother” now that Al has lost weight, and wild parenting stories of Robertson teens flipping trucks, stabbing couches, and launching fireworks inside the bath house have them questioning their parenting choices. Dr. Jackson helps the guys trace themes of poetry, politics, and thought-provoking theories throughout Genesis. 

In this episode: Genesis 4, verses 6–7; Genesis 18, verses 10–15; Genesis 21, verses 1–7; Matthew 5, verses 23–24; 1 Peter 2, verse 9; Ephesians 6, verse 4

More about The Genesis Story:

Genesis is a book of fundamental importance for the Jewish and Christian faiths and has exerted a profound influence on Western Civilization. In addition to being a great religious text, it is also a literary masterpiece. 

This free online course explores some of the work’s major narrative themes, including the complex relationship between God and man, the consequences of a rupture in that relationship, and the path towards reconciliation.
