S2E01A TBU Bites Creation: "Introducing the World to God" Genesis 1

Becky and Renee bring a bite-sized conversation about the creation accounts of Genesis 1 and 2. These creation narratives are focused on introducing the world to the God of the Bible rather than explaining the process by which God created the world. For more on this topic, check out the hour long conversation Becky and Renee had with James Spencer on his podcast, Thinking Christian also available in The Bible Unbranded's podcast feed.
