161 | Wandered Too Far? Finding God's Image in the Middle of Your Mess (Genesis - Part 1)

Find the full episode here: LivingOnPurposeInChrist.com/blog and the companion printable resource here): PaulaBehrens.com/storeWe open Genesis 1–11 and trace the wide-angle story of creation, fracture, judgment, and mercy that explains both the beauty of the world and the ache we feel inside it. We leave with one steady thread to hold onto: we may wander, but God keeps pursuing, restoring His image in us, and moving His redemptive plan forward. • Kicking off a four-part Genesis series and why the story shifts at chapter 12 • Creation as intentional design and humanity as God’s “very good” crown • Your worth as settled before sin and before any mistake • The fall as shame, hiding, and God’s pursuit with “Where are you?” • Sin spreading through humanity and grace showing up in the middle of judgment • The flood as judgment paired with mercy and the rainbow promise • Babel as self-made glory and God scattering nations for His purposes • The Selem (צֶלֶם) and Eikon (εἰκών) word study and how Jesus restores the fractured image • A printable companion Bible study with prompts, applications, and a leader’s guide If this podcast has been a blessing to you or helped you grow in your walk with Christ, would you take a moment to leave a review?
