About this episode
Do you feel like you’re constantly trying to fix yourself? Ever wonder why even your best efforts leave you feeling empty? Today’s episode dives deep into humanity's original brokenness and our desperate attempts to cover our shame. Stephen Davey takes us back to the Garden of Eden, exploring the immediate consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin. They lost their original brilliance, exchanged God's glory for shame, and tried to fix it themselves with fig leaves—the first ever religious act.
This episode reveals why, even today, our best human efforts can’t restore what was lost in the garden. Discover why humanity keeps hiding from God and why religion, good deeds, and self-improvement can't remove the shame we carry. More importantly, you’ll learn how God’s love and pursuit of His fallen children still apply to us today. God knew where Adam and Eve were, just as He knows where you are. His question remains: "Where are you?" Will you stop hiding and answer His call?
Tune in to understand the true reason behind our brokenness—and the incredible promise of restoration that only God offers.
