Between Two Trees

Southern Soul Chats

In this part 1 of 2 episodes of Southern Soul Chats, Between Two Trees, our panel will journey through the biblical narrative of the two trees in Genesis: the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. These trees symbolize profound truths and choices that continue to impact humanity to this day.

We start by exploring their first appearance in the Garden of Eden, examining what they represent and the choices Adam and Eve faced. Through scripture and discussion, we reveal the significance of these trees and how they set the stage for the human condition and God's redemptive plan.

We’ll look into the symbolism and meaning of each tree, how they represent trust in God versus reliance on self, and the consequences of these choices. We’ll also discuss how these themes reappear throughout the Bible and what they mean for us today.

Join us as we uncover the deep spiritual lessons embedded in the story of the two trees, offering insights into how we can choose to live in alignment with God’s wisdom and purpose. Whether you’re new to biblical study or a seasoned believer, this episode will provide valuable perspectives and applications for your faith journey.

Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the Bible’s most foundational stories. Listen now to gain a richer understanding of God's plan and how to walk in His truth and life!

Panel Guest: Leah Dyer, Debbie Edmonson, & Jeremy Ferguson
