Did God literally create everything in seven days? How could that even be possible? But what if we're asking questions Moses never intended to answer? What if Genesis is less about how God created the world and more about who created it? That changes everything.<br/>]]></description>

It’s so available that we’ve become skeptical of the promises it usually makes. The same could be said about religion, right? It’s just spiritual advice.

      <description><![CDATA[<strong>His-Story</strong>: From a garden in Genesis to a garden in Revelation, the Bible is telling one story, and it's moving toward something. Together, let’s explore the questions that don't always get asked out loud: What are we actually supposed to do while we wait for Jesus to return? And if this life isn't just a cosmic waiting room, how do we make it count? If you've ever felt more scared of getting it wrong than hopeful about what's ahead, this one is for you.<br/>]]></description>
