When We Sin | Genesis Part 7
We all mess up. The real question isn’t IF you’ll fall—it’s what you do NEXT.

In Genesis 3, we see the very first response to sin—and it wasn’t confession, it was cover-up. Adam and Eve hid, blamed, and patched instead of owning it. Thousands of years later, we’re still doing the same thing. But here’s the truth: You don’t get stuck because you fell; you get stuck because you staye...
