Think the Creation story is just for little kids? Think again.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." These ten words are the foundation of everything you believe about who you are, why you're here, and what you can become.

In this episode, we're going back to the VERY beginning—before Earth, before humans, before time itself. We'll discover the War in Heaven that happened BEFORE Genesis 1:1, why God creates (spoiler: it's all about LOVE), and how every single day of Creation points directly to Jesus Christ.

What You'll Discover:

BEFORE THE BEGINNING:

• The Council in Heaven and God's plan for you
• Two plans: Lucifer's forced obedience vs. Jesus's agency
• The War in Heaven and why Satan was cast out
• How the Creation was part of the plan all along

THE SEVEN DAYS:

• Day 1: Light and Darkness—Jesus IS the Light of the World
• Day 2: Waters Divided—God's boundaries are blessings
• Day 3: Land and Plants—"After his kind" and divine DNA
• Day 4: Sun, Moon, Stars—You were created to shine
• Day 5: Fish and Birds—God's nature is ABUNDANCE
• Day 6: Animals and Humans—Made in God's IMAGE
• Day 7: Rest—The Sabbath from the very beginning

THE BIG REVEALS:

• Why humans are created DIFFERENTLY than everything else
• What "in the image of God" really means for YOUR life
• How Jesus Christ was the Creator (not just the Redeemer)
• Why the Creation proves you're not an accident
• What divine potential actually looks like

Modern Applications:

• You are NOT an accident—you were planned before the world began
• You have DIVINE POTENTIAL—made in God's image
• Take care of the Creation—it's your stewardship
• Keep the Sabbath—rest is sacred, not lazy
• God brings ORDER from CHAOS—He can do that in your life too
