About this episode
What kind of legacy are you leaving? In this episode, Stephen Davey traces the origins of humanity’s first family tree—one branch descending from Cain, who defied God, and the other from Seth, who sought after Him. These two branches represent the choices each of us makes today: to follow our own desires, or to seek the Lord's presence and plan. Discover how the consequences of rebellion shaped Cain’s descendants into a line of defiance and heartbreak. In contrast, learn how the godly influence of Seth led to the formation of a community that began to worship the Lord. This episode also takes a closer look at Enoch, who walked so closely with God that he was taken directly into His presence, and Methuselah, whose incredibly long life reflected God’s patience before His judgment arrived. These stories still echo today, reminding us that God is both merciful and just, and that His invitation to be part of His family still stands. Listen now to see how the choices made at humanity's beginning can guide you in deciding what branch of God’s family you want to belong to.
