Episode notes
Federal Headship And Responsibility

- Joby Martin argues leadership meant stewardship, not domination, and responsibility was given to the man to share with his family.
Fear, Shame, And The Invitation To Own Sin
- Genesis 3 introduces fear and shame as new experiences in human history according to Joby Martin.
- He frames God's question as an invitation for Adam to confess and take responsibility rather than hide and deflect blame.
The First Blame Shift
