Episode 13: Original Goodness

What if there is a way to do everything that required no compromise, anxiety, or unnecessary discipline? What if we could discover God's design for our bodies, relationships, communities, and businesses? What if there was a way to do things that worked with no downside?

In Genesis 1, after each day of creation, God looked at what He made and said it was good. God perfectly designed every living thing, the plants, animals, people, and the earth itself. We are good. The world is good. There is nothing broken or flawed in the way God made things.

But what about original sin? Didn't Adam and Eve mess things up for everyone? Yes, but that means we live disconnected from God, others, the earth, and the design until we choose to reconnect through Jesus. There is nothing wrong with the ground, humanity, or our bodies. We are still made in His image and likeness, and the way God intended things to function remains intact.

When we humble ourselves and discover how life works, everything changes. Health, wholeness, intimacy, purpose, provision, and peace become our new normal. I challenge you to question the areas of your life that don't seem to be responding to all of your effort and discipline. Could there be a better way, based on original goodness, that you can do life that works with God's design instead of fighting against it?
