The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb, Aaron, Ethan, and Noah—officially take over the Witnessing Christ Podcast to launch a brand-new series: Christ in the Old Testament. As Latter-day Saints study the Old Testament this year, this series walks alongside those readings to show how every page of Scripture points to Jesus Christ.

In this kickoff episode, the interns dive into Genesis chapters 1 and 2, asking a bold but biblical question: Is Jesus really present in the very beginning? Drawing connections between Genesis and John 1, they show how Christ—the eternal Word—is active in creation, revealing the Triune God at work from the very first verse of the Bible.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why Genesis is not a fairy tale, but God’s true and purposeful beginning.
• How Jesus is present at creation, even though his name isn’t explicitly mentioned.
• What it truly means to be made in the image of God—and how that image is restored in Christ.
• Key differences between biblical Christianity and LDS theology regarding creation, Jesus, and humanity.
• How Genesis 1–2 lays the groundwork for grace, redemption, and the restored creation promised in Revelation.
• Practical ways to use these chapters to guide gospel conversations with LDS friends and family.

This episode sets the foundation for the entire series, reminding listeners that the God who saves in Christ is the same God who spoke the universe into existence—and that the story of redemption begins “In the beginning.”
