Rachel Booth Smith, an author and pastor known for her work on Genesis and Sabbath, dives deep into ancient creation narratives alongside host Dru Johnson. She reinterprets Genesis, framing it not as a tale of origins but as God's enthronement, where rest signifies divine reign rather than simple relief from labor. Smith explores how comparing biblical texts to Egyptian and Hittite myths can enrich faith. She emphasizes the seven-day structure as a sacred rhythm, asserting that understanding rest fosters trust in God's sovereignty.
