In this episode of the Gather Moms Podcast, we continue our Bible Moms series by going all the way back to the beginning—to Eve, the first mother, and the first moment everything broke.

Together, we zoom out to see the big story of Scripture and zoom in on a truth every mom needs: when shame enters the picture, God doesn’t pull away—He moves closer.

Through Eve’s story in Genesis 1–3, we explore how shame began, why we instinctively try to cover ourselves, and how God has always been at work to restore what was broken.

• Why the Bible is a miraculous, unified story—not a rule book
• How Eve’s story fits into the meta-narrative of Scripture: creation, brokenness, and redemption
• The moment shame entered humanity—and why hiding is our natural response
• Why “fig leaves” still show up in our lives today (and how we use them)
• The powerful truth that God comes looking for us after we mess u
• How the first animal sacrifice points forward to Jesus
• Why we don’t need to clean ourselves up before coming to God
• What modeling grace (not perfection) looks like for our kids
  

This conversation is for every mom who has ever felt unworthy, distant from God, or stuck trying to fix herself first. Eve’s story reminds us that grace has been God’s plan from the very beginning.

• Genesis 1–3
• Psalm 19
• Romans 16:20

Whether you read your Bible daily, haven’t opened one in years, or feel overwhelmed by where to start—you are welcome here. If you don’t have a Bible and would like one, we would love to get one into your hands.
