Episode 12: In the BeginningSeries: Creation to the Tower of BabelGenesis 1:1Before there was anything, there was God.Genesis opens with the most radical sentence ever written: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”(Gen. 1:1, LSB)This episode explores the verse that launches not just the Bible, but reality itself. We’ll walk through the Hebrew words, unpack the doctrine of creation ex nihilo (out of nothing), and confront the false worldviews—materialism, deism, pantheism—that collapse under the weight of this truth.You’ll discover why Genesis 1:1 is more than ancient poetry. It’s the cornerstone of a biblical worldview:Time began—God was already there.Creation was intentional—not random.You are not self-made—you are handcrafted by God.And at the center stands Jesus Christ—the eternal Word who created all things, sustains all things, and entered His creation to redeem it.This isn’t just theology for a classroom. It’s fuel for worship, clarity for culture, and direction for daily life. If Genesis 1:1 is true, then every breath, every dollar, and every decision belongs to the Creator.Join us as we step into the opening verse of Scripture and see how one line holds up the universe.Journey Thru the Bible is a podcast from Shoe Leather Gospel, a listener-supported ministry helping believers grow in biblical understanding and daily discipleship.
