God’s Beautiful Balanced Garden
(Brian McLaren)

“I seek to reinhabit my space as a creature in God’s beautiful, balanced garden.”

What does it mean for you to reinhabit your space in this garden?


Genesis 2:15-17
The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.”
