Welcome to Advent with Allison, a five-part series where we anticipate the annual commemoration of Jesus’s birth. This episode is part one, covering the picturesque universe God created. From the overflow of love, God creates humans to enjoy his good world and work the earth for its prosperity. But this perfect relationship is shattered when humans disobey God’s instruction. Humanity has been doing the same ever since. Tune in to learn about the greatest lie ever told.
