Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? Our culture loves reimagined villains and flawed heroes, but Genesis 36 gives us a better story.

In this episode, Pastor Mace Perez walks us through the “villain origin story” of Esau and the nation of Edom. Their story represents the seed of the serpent in rebellion against God’s promises. And yet, the good news of the Bible is that through Jesus Christ—the promised Seed of the Woman—redemption has come not only for Israel, but for all nations… even those who seem far from God.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the battle between good and evil, or wondered whether there’s hope for those who feel like the outsiders in God’s story, this message will encourage you.
