Creation Was Good, Not Perfect: A new look at Genesis and The Fall

We’ve been told the story starts with perfection—paradise lost in a single catastrophic moment. But what if that’s not how it happened?

In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy revisits the opening pages of Genesis and the story of “The Fall.” Instead of a flawless world shattered by sin, we’ll explore a different picture: creation as good, but never perfect. Humanity’s choices—ours and theirs—have shaped the world not through one great fall, but through generations of ripples.

And in the middle of it all, one thing never changed: God’s love has been quietly, relentlessly present from the beginning. Not against us, not waiting for us to earn it back—but always here, calling us home.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you were supposed to be perfect, or why life feels like a long decline from something better, this conversation might reframe everything.
