How does Jesus’ death actually save us? In this episode of Journey to Eden, we explore five major atonement theories—Ransom, Recapitulation, Example, Penal Substitution, and Christus Victor—and discover how each one reveals a unique aspect of Christ’s redemptive work. Rather than picking one “correct” view, we’ll see how Scripture presents the cross as a multifaceted diamond, each angle reflecting God's love, justice, and victory. From early church history to key Bible passages, this episode is designed to deepen your faith and expand your worship. Whether you’re new to theology or looking to enrich your understanding, this conversation will help you see the gospel in greater fullness.

What you believe about God shapes everything—how you live, how you love, how you suffer, and how you hope. In this episode, we talk about why theology matters for every follower of Jesus, not just pastors or scholars. From orthodoxy and orthopraxy to cultural excuses like “I’m spiritual, not religious,” this episode challenges you to think deeply and live faithfully. Whether you’re brand new to Bible study or just needing a fresh foundation, this one’s for you.

Before we can talk about theology, culture, or anything else, we have to start with the foundation — the story behind Journey to Eden. In this first episode, I share my own journey: growing up in the church, wrestling with doubt, facing moments of isolation, and learning that God doesn't just call us to survive — He invites us to be rebuilt. This isn't just my story. It might sound a lot like yours.

If you've ever wondered if God can rebuild what feels broken, if you've ever questioned where you fit in His story — you're not alone.

Let's keep walking toward Eden - together.
