In The Garden — Episode 1

Genesis 1:1 | “In the Beginning”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” — Genesis 1:1 (NIV)

Every great story begins somewhere. The Bible begins with God.

In this opening episode of In The Garden, we slow down and sit with a single verse—Genesis 1:1—and ask a foundational question that shapes everything that follows:

Who is worthy of our worship?

Before commandments, before covenants, before debates about science or poetry, Scripture begins by establishing a relationship: Creator and created.

In this episode, we explore:

• What “in the beginning” means—biblically and scientifically
• How modern cosmology and ancient Scripture both point to a universe with a beginning
• Why Genesis opens with worship rather than explanation
• The idea of God as eternal—existing before and outside of time
• Why the Bible starts with who before it ever addresses how

This is not a race through Scripture. It is a daily invitation.

Whether you come with faith, curiosity, questions, or quiet skepticism, you are welcome here. The God who created the universe is not distant or hidden. Scripture promises that those who seek Him will find Him.

Tomorrow, we’ll continue into the rest of Genesis 1. For today, we begin where everything begins.

I’m glad you are here.
