Listen in as Carlos' story unfolds, showcasing a journey of triumph over trials and the unbreakable bonds that can change a life forever.

In the summer of 1961, Rutha Mae Harris was home visiting her family after her first year at Florida A&M University. Protests had been erupting in Albany, her hometown, and Harris had to face a question that many young people involved in the struggle asked themselves – would she go back to school or stay and organize? She knew the need. Harris grew up with strong roots in the community. Her father, Rev. Isaiah Harris, was the founding minister of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and had been providing literacy classes and encouraging members of his congregation to register to vote since the 1940s. He taught his children to always think that they were as good as anyone else and to never fear any man. Her mother was a schoolteacher and was supportive of the Movement, “She told me that as long as I came back to finish my schooling, it was alright with her.” And so Harris stayed, fueled by the opportunity to fight for her freedom.

Former Green Berets and members of Delta Force, Scot and Tom Spooner, kick off the Original Freedom Podcast talking about what they've come together to do and what Original Freedom is. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Last week we looked in Matthew 19 at a discussion Jesus had with the Pharisees about divorce … they are going in the wrong direction with their question: “Can a man divorce his wife for any reason?” Jesus said because of the hardness of your hearts ..., but it was not so from the beginning. Have we been so culturally conditioned to believe that all our interpersonal conflict, all the pain and heartache in male – female relationships is normal? Jesus thinks not! Through conditioning, we’re more familiar with ORIGINAL SIN than ORIGINAL RIGHTEOUSNESS … Jesus is saying that in order to untwist the mess we’ve made, we must go back to the beginning … before Genesis 3. We must explore ORIGINAL INNOCENCE. We have a better theology of sin than we have of creation. The Gospel doesn’t begin with “all have sinned” … it begins with the glory of God. If we don’t understand God’s original intentions, we won’t understand how far we’ve fallen from the glory of God. Genesis 1 -2 describes “Original Experiences” of the first human beings. The first three Chapters of Genesis, arguably the first 11, provides interpretive keys for understanding the rest of the Bible. Once those categories are in place, you’ll find that they keep reoccurring. Historically, in America especially, we’ve been sidetracked by trying to read Genesis as a scientific account of creation. Other’s read it in a stiff, literal manner or as mere history, or pre-history. I believe the authors of Genesis are attempting to give us a theology. It is written in symbolic language to communicate universal truths about God and creation. It’s more about God’s intention for creation than HOW he created it. The NT authors read Genesis from symbolism to spiritual reality … from the snake in the Garden symbolizing Satan. Satan is no more a literal snake than Jesus is a literal Lamb! You see if I want to understand what a Toyota looks like, I don’t go the junkyard; I go to the showroom. Let’s now go to the showroom. Original Experiences 1. Original Divine Partnership (stewards of creation) 2. Original Freedom (the two trees) 3. Original Faith (avoiding death by God's awareness, not ours) 4. Original Solitude (alone without a complementary gift) 5. Original Unity (such solitude guides one to such unity) 6. Original Nakedness (without shame) In all of the above, human beings were growing in an emerging identity. Until the creation of woman, man, Adam (generic humanity) was unique from all of God’s creation. He is coming to understand that he is alone. The obvious meaning of Adam’s aloneness, his solitude, is that it’s not good to be without Eve. So Adam experiences solitude, and at this point, with no GENDER IDENTITY … Adam is a word meaning of the earth, generic humanity. Adam is required to live by Faith (faith working through love) He had no reference for what death was … he would have to trust God without any experience of it. Satan fell in heaven … before this possibility … love requires freedom within a plurality, a communion of persons. Before Sin entered the world, there was one thing that was not good. So … God did a humorous thing … Animals! After naming them, Adam came to more aloneness, alienation that he is similar but not identical to the animals. Adam has the breath of life but still a sense of aloneness. Adam walks with an unseen deity, but still 'alone'; he has to truth God's awareness of death without ever experiencing it. His aloneness is a gift, summoning him towards God and ultimate the other, Eve. Adam comes to understand his maleness (ish - Hebrew for male) only after he's introduced to Eve (is-sah - Hebrew for female. This one from the earth, Adam, comes to a new identity in light of a complementary gift. Original solitude remains in both Adam and Eve, summoning them towards God, a relationship of trust.
