S01E2: Creator Before Questioner

What comes first: the Creator or the questions?

It's difficult to understand what's broken if you've never seen it whole. So let's go back to the "very good" beginning, where wonder comes before wander. Only then can we understand not only what was lost, but also why the questions God asks carry so much weight.

Before the first sunrise, there was a sentence. In this episode of Kuriosity Saves, we let the creation story speak for itself and trace how God used His Word(s) to bring order, beauty, relationship, and rest into the world.

From the stars in the sky to the seas, and all the way to humanity being made in God’s image, Scripture shows us that creation was never meant to be empty or meaningless. It was made as a sacred place where we could live in connection with the Creator—the One who made it all and continues to hold it all together.
