Genesis: The Ultimate Origin Story

5 views,

IVP

How can the book of Genesis guide us in everyday family discipleship?  


In this week’s episode of The Wholehearted Households Podcast, host Helen Lee introduces us to this foundational book of origins through her own fascination with origin stories. 


Our Bible spotlight focuses on the opening verses of Genesis and what they reveal about God’s character and what he has created. Then, our discipleship nugget introduces the idea of “beauty hunting” as a way for your family to engage with God’s good creation. Finally, our spiritual practice invites you to rest and reflect on God’s identity as Creator. 


Wherever you listen, may you and your family be blessed by this episode as you seek to follow Jesus with your whole heart.
