A Carefully Crafted Invitation to See the Divine in Ourselves
What if the story of Adam and Eve was never meant to be a tale of shame, blame, or brokenness, but a carefully crafted invitation to see the divine in ourselves and in ALL of the children of our Heavenly Parents?
On July 20, we’ll discover what Genesis 1-3 actually says in the original Hebrew, revealing layers of meaning that have been lost in translation. We’ll look at gender, naming, partnership, and divine intent to explore how the earliest language of scripture offers a radically hopeful vision of becoming—one that restores the honor of Eve, reframes the role of Adam, and reopens the conversation about identity, wholeness, and the image of God.
