Among the Flock
Among the Flock is a podcast for those who long to walk in truth, guided by the Shepherd's voice. Hosted by Jacob Palmer and Jonathan Whitson, this series explores Scripture—drawing a clear line between the holy and the profane in an age of confusion.
Rooted in the imagery of sheep, shepherds, and the wilderness journey, Among the Flock seeks to equip believers to remain grounded, guarded, and gathered close to Christ. Each episode weaves together biblical teaching, theological reflection, spiritual warnings, and practical wisdom to help believers navigate a world of deception without losing sight of their Shepherd.
Whether unpacking ancient Hebrew concepts, confronting false doctrine, or preparing the flock for the days ahead, Jacob and Jonathan aim to build a spiritual fence of truth—one that protects without imprisoning, guides without controlling, and always points to the King of Kings.

The Fall: God’s Design for Humanity Pt 2
In this episode of Among the Flock, Jake and John continue their exploration of the fall of man in Genesis chapter 3, diving deep into the theological and spiritual themes woven into this pivotal passage of Scripture.
The conversation begins by addressing common misconceptions about God’s nature, comparing portrayals of God in the Old Testament and New Testament. Rather than presenting two different deities, the hosts highlight the consistency of God’s character—His justice intertwined with His mercy—seen from the Garden of Eden through the cross.
The discussion then turns to the curses in Genesis 3:
- The Serpent’s Curse – its theological weight and the foreshadowing of the proto-evangelium, pointing to redemption through Christ.
- Eve’s Consequences – the unique distinction of her pain and struggle being consequences rather than a direct curse.
- Adam’s Burden – the curse upon the ground itself and its symbolic link to human toil and mortality.
Throughout, the hosts draw on Hebrew language nuances and biblical narratives to illuminate both literal and metaphorical implications of Adam and Eve’s exile from Eden. Even in judgment, God’s grace and mercy are shown to prevail, offering a lens of hope within the fall.
