    <description>The Bible was written by Eastern authors inspired by God.  We read it and understand it through the lens of a Western  culture,  missing the imagery, humor and underlying assumptions.  What are the things we might be missing?  What lies underneath, the things that are felt but not spoken? How can we restore some of the Hebrew/Jewish culture that we have stripped from the Biblical text in our Western world?

  <description>In episode 3 we are digging into the 2nd chapter of Genesis and taking a look at the creation of woman.  Some incorrectly view women as second to man but the text in Genesis 2 suggests otherwise.  This is the first time God pronounces something isn't good, and so we have woman taken out of man to be an equal part, a help that opposes.  Listen in as we dig deeper into this idea!

  <description>In this episode we want to dive in to the creation account with a fresh perspective.  Humankind is created with the likeness of God in us and before we could even work or produce, God looks at all he created and says "it is very good".  This is one of the most ignored stories of the Bible yet this is what is chosen as the beginning of the narrative about God and his invitation to join the story.
