Violence enters the biblical story with a single act—and spreads until it fills the earth.

In this episode, we walk through Genesis 4–6, tracing the story from Cain and Abel to Noah and the flood. What begins as jealousy and murder grows into generational violence that corrupts families, societies, and even the ground itself. Scripture presents the earth as a witness, soaked with human blood and crying out under the weight of sin.

As the narrative moves from the violent line of Cain to the godly line of Seth, a contrast emerges—yet over time, humanity’s corruption spreads until the earth is filled with violence. God responds with judgment, not as destruction for its own sake, but as cleansing. The flood becomes an act of re-creation, followed once again by mercy as God preserves Noah and his family.

This episode invites listeners to consider how sin’s damage spreads beyond the individual—and why God’s work of renewal must be as complete as the corruption it confronts.
