Episode 15: Crouching

from Eat This Book! Hosted by Michael Whitworth

Cain brings an offering. Abel brings an offering. God accepts Abel’s, not Cain’s. And Cain’s face falls. This episode explores the moment before the murder—and God’s warning: “Sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” Sin as a predator, waiting, wanting. The door is still closed. The choice is still real. You can rule over it. The battle isn’t lost until you open the door. Want to go deeper in Genesis?
