The Story of Our Faith


Listen Later

In this episode, co-hosts Dr. David Pocta and Hannah Desouza delve into the rich tapestry of ancestry, genealogies, and God's grand narrative from Genesis to Revelation. Drawing on personal experiences with ancestry DNA, they explore the significance of origin stories against the backdrop of God's grand vision.  

They trace the narrative through the 1189 chapters of the Bible, exploring the tension between divine intent and human free will. The episode concludes with an anticipation of deep dives into Genesis and Biblical Theology in future episodes.

 

Topics Discussed:

 

  • Significance of origin stories and genealogies in understanding cultural and individual identities
  • The imagery of the temple city in Genesis and its counterpart in Revelation, underscores God's original intent for His creation
  • Disruption of the divine image by the serpent's deception in Genesis 3
  • Exploration of God's hope and intent against human free will and missteps through the Bible's 1189 chapters
  • Introduction to the concept of Biblical Theology, tracing God's salvation story throughout the narrative
  • Role of priesthood, exile, kingdom, and temple/tabernacle in the biblical narrative
  • Exploration of the idea of salvation and God's saving acts
  • Reiteration of God's love and intention through the promises made to Abraham in Genesis 12 and Genesis 17
  • Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of the promises made to Abraham and solutions God starts implementing in Genesis 12
  • Implications of human choices in returning to or resisting God's intimacy.

    Quotes:

     

    “So that's what genealogies do for us, right? They help us understand where we come from, our culture.” –Dr. David Pocta 

     

    “I love this idea of bookends, kind of the opening chapters, genesis and these final chapters of Revelation and that continuity there, so that we know where we've started and where we're ending.” – Hannah Desouza

     

    “This is probably a good place for us to end today is how Jesus really was the fulfillment of all those things and even all these things we've started talking about today.” – Dr. David Pocta
