That's why I think it's so important to have a guide like the Great Adventure Bible study.

The Great Adventure Bible timeline is so, so powerful.

He's like, I really want the vegetable trees.

That's the ones I really want.

The results kind of happen.

It unravels pretty quickly.

Like the story of here is the grasping and that pride and that sense of like, I know better than God.

It seems to be like this repeating thing that happens, especially when it comes to that decision.

Okay, will I let God be God or will I reach out for my own sake?

As you mentioned, it goes from fruit.

I took a piece of fruit to sibling murder, you know, fratricide.

Very quickly.

That escalated quickly in so many words.

But how important is it, do you think, that...

Because I think it can't be overstated, the importance of getting these first pieces of the story nailed down, that God is good.

He made this world good.

He made human beings good.

And then we took all that goodness and we distorted it.

We broke it by...

And we didn't need to, but we chose to.
