The Fall: How It All Went Wrong
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever looked around and thought, “What happened to this world?” The answer goes back to a garden, a lie, and a single decision with cosmic consequences.
In this episode of Walking with God, Bible teacher Chris Reighley unpacks Romans 5:12 and the true story behind the Fall in Genesis 3. Sin didn’t sneak into creation, it entered through the front door of human rebellion. And its ripple effects touch every life, every headline, and every heart.
But The Pilgrim’s Progress reminds us: even in judgment, God speaks promise. Christian flees Destruction because he read the Book—and he knew the story wasn’t over.
If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, confusion, or the brokenness around you, this episode will anchor you in the truth: the world isn’t as it should be, but God hasn’t left it that way.
The Fall explains the mess. But grace explains the hope.

It started with a fruit. Not because it was forbidden fruit, but because it represented a deeper lie: “God’s holding out on you.”
That’s the first whisper of sin. And it hasn’t stopped since…
This is Wisdom and Wit, and I am your bible teacher, Chris Reighley
Today's scripture comes from the book of Romans, chapter 5, verse 1,2 and it says
“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned…”
Genesis 3 is more than a story about a snake and a tree. It’s the moment the human race exchanged trust in God for autonomy from Him. Adam’s choice wasn’t just personal—it was catastrophic.
Paul sums it up with brutal clarity: through one man, sin—and with it, death—entered the world.
But here’s the grace in the rubble: even as God pronounced judgment, He pointed to a Redeemer. The first mess was followed by the first promise.
You’re not just broken, you’re born into a world that’s broken. But that’s not the end of . Romans 5 goes on to say that through one Man—Christ—the curse is reversed
Let me ask you a question
- Where do you see the effects of the Fall in your own thinking, habits, or relationships?...
- Read Genesis 3 and Romans 5 side by side today.
- Thank Jesus for stepping into our ruin to offer restoration.
In Walking with God, Episode 7, we unpack the biblical doctrine of the Fall and how it explains everything wrong in the world—and in us. Tune in at ShoeLeatherGospel.com
Let me pray for you today:
Lord, thank You for not abandoning us after the Fall. Write redemption into every broken place in me….
The bad news is—we broke it. The good news is—Jesus came to fix it.
