Welcome back to "I Love to Tell the Story," a podcast on the Narrative Lectionary with Luther Seminary Professors Rolf Jacobson, Joy J. Moore, and Kathryn Schifferdecker. Listen in as they dive into Genesis 2 and 3.  Together, they unpack the Narrative Lectionary reading NL301 for September 8, 2024, focusing on humanity's divine calling to till and keep the earth. The professors explore the story of the Fall, shedding light on how it reveals our deep-seated tendency to sin and desire to be like God. They also challenge traditional interpretations that cast the story as an indictment of women, reframing it as a powerful reflection of the human condition. Throughout the discussion, the hosts highlight God's unwavering faithfulness, even in the face of humanity's failures.
