  • EP 161: Tracing The Scarlet Thread Of Redemption Through Genesis (Part 2)
    Feb 20 2026

    “From Babel’s pride to the ark’s single door, Genesis traces a unified thread toward a promised King that converges in Christ.

    Question: How do Joseph’s rejection and exaltation deepen your understanding of Christ’s first and second comings?"

    A scattered tongue at Babel and a single open door on an ark don’t just make memorable scenes—they chart a path across Scripture toward a promised King. We follow that path with open Bibles and honest questions, tracking how God overturns human pride with patient promises, how signs and stories become waypoints, and how two prophetic lines—the coming man and the coming God—meet in one person.

    We start with the tents of Shem and the Shekinah hint that God intends to dwell with his people. Noah’s ark stands as a living parable: one door, judgment kept at bay, and a preacher of righteousness calling anyone who will hear. From there the focus tightens to Abraham, whose name is made great not by tower-building but by trust. The promises to Abram—nation, blessing, a seed—build a scaffold for hope that stretches to every family on earth. In the laughter of Isaac’s birth we hear the echo of a greater miracle in Mary’s womb; on Moriah we see wood laid on a son’s shoulders and learn the name the mountain still bears: the Lord will provide.

    Then Judah steps forward with a scepter and a clue: Shiloh is coming. Early readers knew the word as shorthand for Messiah, a signal that royal authority would stream from one tribe until the true ruler appeared. Joseph’s story brings the pattern into focus. Rejected, sold, thought dead, and then lifted to the right hand with authority, he receives a Gentile bride and offers forgiveness to the very brothers who betrayed him. His second appearance to them is not humble; it is glorious and undeniable, a scene that foreshadows how we expect Christ to return—with splendor, justice, and mercy.

    Along the way we unpack why firstborn expectations keep flipping, how typology works without being forced, and why the call remains urgent: the door is open today. If you’ve ever wondered whether the Bible’s earliest chapters actually cohere, this journey shows a single thread running through Noah, Abraham, Judah, and Josephtied securely in Christ, the door, the Lamb, and the King. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves Old Testament puzzles, and leave a review telling us which moment in Genesis lit up for you.

  • EP 160: Tracing The Scarlet Thread Of Redemption Through Genesis (Part 1)
    Feb 13 2026

    "Are any of you old enough to remember when we used maps before GPS? Today, we plug in the coordinates for the Messiah and explore the Scripture."

    We trace the Old Testament’s map to the Messiah, from the garden promise to the ark’s door and Rahab’s scarlet cord, showing how Scripture points to Jesus as the anointed King, Priest and Prophet. We connect prophecy and typology so the story reads as one plan of rescue.

    John 5:39 as the study’s anchor
    Protoevangelium in Genesis 3:15 and the promised seed
    Rahab’s scarlet thread as a sign of salvation
    Meaning of Messiah and the three anointed offices
    Cain and Abel as early typology of Christ
    Noah, Shem and the hint of God dwelling with His people
    The ark’s single door and the pitch as images of atonement
    Passover imagery and the better word of Christ’s blood
    Invitation to respond while the door is open

  • Ep 159: Incomplete On Purpose - How Genesis Points Us Back To God
    Feb 6 2026

    Send us a text

    "Are men and women incomplete? Today, we move from Adam to Ruth, showing a marriage design, honoring difference, and Old Testament promises pointing to Jesus, reshaping daily life, faith, and reading Scripture as one redemptive story."

    We move from snow stories and regional quirks to Genesis, showing how Adam’s deep sleep, design, and blame point to a larger theme: Scripture from the first pages leads to Jesus. Along the way we share why Ruth belongs in a Christmas play and invite you to a new study.
