This week we see that Abram’s faithfulness takes him towards the promised land, but a drought sends him down to Egypt. In this foreshadowing of the Exodus, we begin to see how the promises of God will come to fruition in Abram’s life.

Story / Symbol / Spirit is a podcast about how to make sense of Scripture. The Bible is a beautiful gift from God with the power to help us know God and better understand our lives, identity, meaning, and purpose. But for many people, reading  the Bible is difficult. The ancient and confusing nature of the stories within the Bible are often prohibitive to our engagement and learning. How can we make sense of the Scriptures?

We believe that Story / Symbol / Spirit is a helpful framework to begin this journey.

This week we look at God’s initial promise to Abram. He will become a great nation. His name will be made great. He will be blessed. And through him all the nations will be blessed. What does this mean and how does this set the foundation for the rest of redemptive history?

This week we go through the genealogy that leads to Abraham. In this genealogy, we see how God begins His process of restoration and redemption. There is also mention of “Ur of the Chaldeans.” Where is this place? What was its significance in the ancient world and in the biblical story?

This week we go through a well-known story called the Tower of Babel. What does it mean that the people spoke one language? Why did they try to build a tower to make their name great? Why did God scatter them? What does this have to do with Abram, one of the main characters going forward?

This week we go through the Table of Nations. This is technically a genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japeth. Who are these nations? Where did the people groups that came from them settle? Why does any of this matter?

The flood has subsided and God has given His promise to Noah and his sons. What happens when they get off the ark? Will they remain righteous or will there be a repeat of the Garden rebellion? We get into all that and more this week!

God “remembers” Noah, and the flood subsides. Does this mean Noah had slipped His mind until He remembered? And what is the deal with the birds that Noah sends out? Finally, once the flood subsides, why does God have to promise to never allow the flood waters to overtake earth again? This week, we answer all of these questions!

This week, we begin the story of the Flood - Noah has faithfully constructed the ark and all of the seeds of new creation are in this ark. It rains for 40 days and 40 nights. As we have discussed, numbers have symbolic meaning beyond their numerical value - what is the meaning of 40 days of rain?

Last week we mentioned a strange story about the Nephilim - the Sons of God (angelic beings) have reproduced with the daughters of men and produced a race of “mighty men.” What does this mean? Can angelic beings reproduce with humans? This week we discuss this strange story.

This week, we begin the flood story. Human wickedness has destroyed God’s good world, the Sons of God (angelic beings) have started reproducing with human women, and the blood of the innocent is crying out from the ground. God gives them 120 years to repent and turn away from their sin - how will they respond?
