People are beginning to reckon with the failures and inadequacies of worldviews they once hoped in. Those worldviews (philosophies, religions, political ideologies, technological progress) fell flat—really flat. The “centre did not hold.” They did not explain reality, provide meaning, or offer hope. They couldn’t. So people are ditching them and exploring ideas that were once ridiculed and distrusted. Leaders have reported surges in Bible sales and downloaded Bible-reading apps. We see upticks in church attendance. Podcasts featuring interviews (and debates!) with scholars are going viral. People are reconsidering the claims of Christianity. They are asking questions. Christians are providing answers that are rational, reasonable, and compelling. Those answers begin in Genesis. It’s a great time to participate corporately with what God is doing. We’re launching a study through the early chapters of Genesis. I’m excited to explore the basic foundational storyline of the Bible with you. My prayer is that it both encourages you and equips you to “Always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you…” 1 Peter 3:15
