Episode 18: And He Died

from Eat This Book! Hosted by Michael Whitworth

Genesis 5 is a genealogy, easy to skip. But read it slowly and you’ll hear a drumbeat: “And he died. And he died. And he died.” This episode explores mortality’s relentless refrain—and the one exception. Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. In a chapter defined by death, one man breaks the pattern. Death is not the only option. And Noah’s name means “rest.” The drumbeat isn’t the end of the song. Want to go deeper in Genesis?
