12-6 - Echoes of Eden: Why Does God Allow Evil?

Send us Fan Mail In Episode 6 of Echoes of Eden , Tim and Steve Stewart step into Genesis 3—the pivotal and often misunderstood story of “The Fall.” Rather than treating it as a simple explanation for sin, this conversation explores the deeper human experience behind the text: temptation, mistrust, sorrow, and the fracture of what is meant to be whole. They unpack how temptation operates on multiple levels—physical desire, aesthetic appeal, and intellectual distortion—and how subtle shifts in how we perceive God’s words lead us away from trust. At the same time, this episode challenges listeners to reconsider how much weight we give to Genesis 3 compared to Genesis 1 and 2—where the repeated declaration is that creation is good . And yet, even here—in the origin of brokenness— God’s mercy is already present. This is not just a story of loss. It is also the beginning of redemption. 🔍 In This Episode: The anatomy of temptation in Genesis 3 How humanity begins to mistrust God’s goodness The emotional and spiritual weight of “the fall” Differences in theological interpretations (Reformed, Catholic, Orthodox) Why this story still shapes how we see God, ourselves, and the world Early signs of hope and restoration within the narrative 🌍 Learn More & Support the Mission: 📱 Follow Impact Nations: Instagram: Facebook: YouTube:
