In this episode, Taylor Halverson and Mike Harris walk through Genesis chapters 3–4 and Moses chapters 4–5, offering a deeply thoughtful exploration of the Fall, agency, and the ongoing journey back to God. Through temple symbolism and covenant context, they show that Adam and Eve’s story is not about shame or abandonment, but about growth, learning, and divine love. You will discover how scripture uses symbolism to teach eternal truths, including Adam as a type of Jesus Christ, Eve as a symbol of covenant community, and the serpent as an example of how truth can be twisted for deception. Taylor explains how belief, truth, and “Amen” are central to spiritual stability, and how Satan’s primary strategy is to attack belief and identity. The episode contrasts faithful and unfaithful responses in scripture, using examples like Adam and Eve versus Cain, and later parallels throughout the Bible.  This conversation is an invitation to know God more deeply, to see yourself as beloved and known, and to trust that God’s purpose is always restoration. It reassures listeners that the journey through the Fall is not the end of the story, but the beginning of becoming.   Thank you to the Mike Hutchins Studio and the Faith Creator's Alliance.
