Fall and Sin with Joel Muddamalle

Joel Muddamalle

Joel Muddamalle unpacks the doctrine of the fall by first anchoring our understanding of humanity in the goodness and royal purpose of Eden, where Adam and Eve were created in God’s image and called to steward and expand creation. Tracing the tragic rupture caused by sin, Muddamalle points to Jesus as the covering for our shame and the hope of restoration, inviting believers to join in God’s mission of reconciliation and renewal.
