Have you ever had an intruder? Knowing that someone has entered your space immediately makes you feel violated and on guard, and that's exactly how we're supposed to feel when an intruding serpent shows up in the Garden of Eden.
I feel so honored to have Courtney Doctor as our guest today. Courtney is a an author, Bible teacher, frequent conference and retreat speaker, and she serves as coordinator for women's initiatives for the Gospel Coalition. Courtney's Bible study, From Garden to Glory: A Bible Study on the Bible’s Story is part of our recommended resources all throughout this season. You can find that full list of books, podcast episodes and videos in the extended shownotes at shannonpopkin.com.
Courtney helps us explore this story about an intruding serpent who twists God's words, and then, in all absurdity, Adam and Eve listen to him. I hope this conversation will help you—as Courtney says—know where you are in the story, and live like the story is true.
