Scripture in This Episode
All passages New Living Translation.
Genesis 1:29–30
The original diet. The first thing God says about food is that He gives it — and He names it.
29 Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food.
30 And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened.
Genesis 9:3–4
The expansion after the flood. Meat enters, with one limit.
3 I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.
4 But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.
Romans 3:26
Why Jesus had to die. The king who takes the lashes is just and the justifier in a single act.
26 for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
Romans 5:20
“Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.” The darker the world gets, the brighter grace shines.
20 God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant.
2 Timothy 1:7
Against fear-driven thinking. People stop at the first gate — fear — and never reach power, love and a sound mind.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
1 Corinthians 13:13
Faith, hope and love. The answer to fatalism.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
James 1:22
“Doers.” Producer Paul Vreugdenhil’s suggestion for what to call this audience — and the verse behind it.
22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
Matthew 7:7
A prayer request from producer Timothy Huettner, for the Maitland family.
7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
Genesis 1:1–6
Set to music by producer Brett — a deep house track using these verses as the lyrics, with the words visualised through cymatics.
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.
6 Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.”

I love the Get to Nation or the Do Getters! Thank you for this show!!! At least 5 times a day I find myself saying, "we get to do this!".
This podcast has been such a blessing! My journey back to Christ started about 3 years ago, and I can relate to the fire and excitement that Adam has through his journey as well! Continue spreading the good Word. I can't believe that we get to do the work of being Christ's disciples!
