The Beginning of Beginnings
Welcome to Journey 1: Genesis — the beginning of beginnings. Together, we’ll step into the garden where history and purpose first met. Let’s uncover who wrote these sacred words, the era in which they were born, and the women whose stories whisper through its pages. Here, we’ll rediscover why woman was created — not as an afterthought, but as divine design.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
This passage beautifully reveals that woman was not formed from the dust like man, but from his side — symbolizing equality, unity, and divine purpose. God’s creation of woman was intentional, relational, and sacred. She was not made beneath him (from his feet), nor above him (from his head), but beside him — to walk with him in shared dominion, purpose, and love.
