Hi, this is Justin.

00:00:04

Let me begin by asking you a question: Is there any Jesus in your Genesis?

00:00:10

Today on Theocast, John and I are going to be talking about the book of Genesis and the ways that it is often mishandled, and how we often miss the main point of that wonderful book.

00:00:20

We're going to look at Genesis today from a redemptive historical perspective, from a covenantal perspective, with Jesus at the center.

00:00:27

We hope it's encouraging for you.

00:00:28

And we're going to take a deeper dive into covenant theology over in Semper Reformanda and how that relates to our understanding of Genesis.

00:00:34

We hope all of this is helpful and encouraging to you.

00:00:36

Stay tuned.

And I am Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.

00:01:26

John, my man, we have met to podcast today for the second time in as many days.

00:01:32

That's right.
