What if the first story of human failure is also the first story of tender mercy? We open with a small moment of joy—a dad diving into a leaf pile with his kids—and use it to reframe Genesis 3 as a living, present word. The fall is real, the sorrow is real, and yet the promises are just as real: a bruised heel, a crushed head, and a God who covers shame with His own hands. This isn’t distant theology; it’s the pattern of grace that breaks into our daily exhaustion, fear, and control.
Together we unpack the serpent’s strategy, the weight of the curses, and the startling hope embedded in God’s sentences. Adam naming his wife Eve becomes a bold act of trust: believing that life will spring from the very place death entered. Then comes one of Scripture’s most intimate scenes—God crafting coats of skin, implying sacrifice and foreshadowing a better covering. The gate to the tree of life closes, not as punishment alone, but as mercy that makes room for redemption. What begins in Eden arcs forward to Mary’s yes, the Spirit’s miracle, and Christ, “made of a woman,” who carries no inherited guilt and offers a true and final covering.
We connect these ancient moments to our present lives—where we stitch fig leaves of excuses, numbness, and addiction, and where the voice of Jesus interrupts with life. Law tells the truth about our condition, and grace meets us with a cross that speaks a better word. If you’re weary, angry, or lost, you’ll hear a straightforward invitation to trust: step out from hiding, let the promise hold you, and receive the covering you cannot make for yourself.

NEW BOOK! I'm pleased to say that we have completed a new book that has been years in the making. The Ten Shirot: Songs of Redemption looks at ten songs that were sung through pivotal times in Scripture. It's an examination of the redemption of Jesus, of worship, and of Scripture in a way that we believe you probably haven't seen before. Check it out at https://a.co/d/0a4KIooL .
