Episode Synopsis

On this episode of Wise Counsel, host Robert Smith explores Genesis 1:1–31 as more than a story of beginnings—it is a poetic, structured proclamation of God’s cosmic order and kingship. Drawing on insights from biblical scholars like John Walton, Michael Heiser, and Bruce Waltke, this episode considers how the creation narrative mirrors ancient temple liturgy and reflects God’s intention for worship to be woven into the very fabric of time. With a full reading of Genesis 1 (ESV) and cultural reflections, this conversation calls listeners to reimagine their weekly rhythms through the lens of sacred design.
