Episode 203: Finding God in the Fallout

Write this Down! with Dot Bowen

Dot and Cara continue unpacking Genesis 3 in this second episode of our four-part series. This week, they dive into God’s questions to Adam and Eve: “Where are you?” and “Who told you that?” Together, they explore the power of asking ourselves these questions and discuss God’s end goal - restoring His relationship with Adam and Eve. If you’ve ever wrestled with lies that lead you away from God’s presence, grab your coffee and your journal and join us!

Scripture Verse: Genesis 3:6-11 “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
