The First Woman. The First Temptation. The First Promise of the Gospel.

Who was Eve, and what does her story teach us about God's design, temptation, grace, and redemption?

In Episode 2 of People of the Bible Explained, Adam and Tara explore the life of Eve—the first woman created by God and the mother of all living. While many remember Eve only for the events in the Garden of Eden, her story is much richer than a single moment of failure.

Journey back to the Garden of Eden to discover God's beautiful design for humanity, the deception of the serpent, the consequences of sin, and the incredible promise God gave immediately after the Fall—a promise ultimately fulfilled through Jesus Christ.

This episode explores Eve's life through the lens of Scripture, showing both her humanity and God's faithfulness. More importantly, you'll see how Eve's story points us to the hope of the Gospel and God's plan to redeem His creation.

In this episode you'll learn:
• Who Eve was and why God created her
• What it means that men and women are created in the image of God
• God's design for marriage and human relationships
• How temptation begins by questioning God's Word
• The events of the Fall and their impact on humanity
• God's first promise of a coming Savior in Genesis 3:15
• How Eve points us to Jesus Christ
• Three practical lessons Christians can apply today
• A "Digging Deeper" study into why Eve is called the "mother of all living"

Key Scriptures:
Genesis 2–4
Romans 5:12–21
1 Corinthians 15:21–22
Genesis 3:15

Welcome to The Parables of Jesus, a Bible study series from Good & Godly designed to help you understand the teachings of Jesus through historical context, biblical truth, and practical application.

In Episode 2, we explore The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders from Matthew 7:24–29. As Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount, He challenges every listener with a life-changing question: Are you simply hearing God's Word, or are you building your life upon it?

This powerful parable reminds us that every life is built on a foundation. Storms are inevitable, but only those whose lives are founded on Jesus Christ and lived in faithful obedience will stand. Together we'll examine the historical setting, unpack Jesus' teaching verse by verse, and discover why obedience—not just knowledge—is the mark of a true disciple.

• The historical setting of the Sermon on the Mount
• Why Jesus used the illustration of two builders
• What the rock and the sand symbolize
• Why storms come to both believers and unbelievers
• The difference between hearing God's Word and obeying it

In a world obsessed with wealth, success, and financial security, how should Christians think about money?

In this episode of Good & Godly, Adam, Tara, and special guest Cade explore what the Bible teaches about stewardship, contentment, generosity, and trusting God as our provider. Together they discuss why Jesus spoke so often about money, how wealth can become an idol of the heart, and what it means to honor God with the resources He has entrusted to us.

Through biblical examples such as Joseph in Egypt, Solomon's search for satisfaction, Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, and God's provision of manna in the wilderness, this conversation examines the difference between trusting in wealth and trusting in God. The episode also offers practical wisdom for budgeting, giving, avoiding the comparison trap, and teaching the next generation to live with open hands and faithful hearts.

Whether you're navigating financial stress, pursuing contentment, building a career, raising a family, or simply seeking a more biblical view of money, this episode will encourage you to remember that stewardship is ultimately about trust.

Most people spend nearly a third of their lives at work, yet many Christians struggle to connect their faith with what they do Monday through Friday.

In this episode of Good & Godly, Adam and Tara explore what Scripture teaches about work, ambition, success, leadership, and calling. Is work simply a way to earn a paycheck, or does God have a greater purpose for our labor? Can Christians pursue promotions and career advancement without falling into pride or idolatry? What does it look like to honor Christ in the workplace, whether you're leading an organization, managing a team, raising children at home, or working behind the scenes where no one notices?

Together, we discuss God's design for work, the difference between godly ambition and selfish ambition, why integrity matters more than worldly success, and how every believer can be a witness for Christ through faithful, everyday obedience.

Featuring biblical teaching, historical examples from Daniel, Martin Luther, and William Wilberforce, and practical encouragement for Christians navigating work and leadership in today's culture.

Parenting has never been easy, but raising children in today's world can feel overwhelming. Between social media, cultural pressures, busy schedules, and the fear of getting it wrong, many parents find themselves trying to control outcomes that only God can determine.

In this episode of Good & Godly, Adam and Tara discuss what it means to parent with both conviction and grace. Through Scripture, biblical examples, church history, and practical application, they explore the difference between discipline and control, why faith is primarily caught at home, and how parents can faithfully shepherd their children's hearts without carrying the weight of being their Savior.

Join us as we look at God's design for parenting, learn from examples like Hannah, Eli, Timothy, and Monica, and discover how to trust God with the children He has entrusted to us.
