Created by God: Why Genesis Shapes the Entire Christian Worldview

Genesis is not merely the opening book of the Bible—it is the foundation beneath every Christian doctrine. In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins walks through Genesis 1–3 to show why these chapters shape everything we believe about God, humanity, identity, purpose, morality, and the gospel itself. Dave explains how Genesis reveals the nature and character of God, the dignity and purpose of humanity made in God's image, the entrance of sin through the fall, and the promise of redemption fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He also addresses why Genesis is under attack today and how the serpent's ancient question—"Did God really say?"—continues to shape modern cultural confusion. This episode traces the biblical worldview framework of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration, showing why the gospel only makes sense if Genesis is true history. If Christians lose Genesis, they lose their bearings—but if they stand firmly on Genesis, they stand on the truth that anchors the Christian life.
