Ever wondered if the Genesis creation story is more than just a literal account? In this episode of the Faith Recovery Podcast, the three hosts, self-described 'failed pastors', dive into Genesis 1 and 2 to challenge the traditional interpretations. They argue that these ancient texts may not be historical records but rather poetic expressions with deeper theological meanings. They suggest that the story of Adam isn't just about the fall of humanity but also a preparation for redemption through Jesus.
