The first thing we learn about God from the pages of Scripture is that he created. In fact, that verb is the second word in the Hebrew Bible. In this episode we will ponder why our all-sufficient and utterly contented Triune God would even want to create. And if we can glean anything from that, what implications might it have for us as we seek to imitate him?

Welcome to a new GBCM podcast called 7m Ponderings where we will explore a particular book of the Bible for exegetical insights that can assist the biblical counselor in his or her counseling, whether formal or informal. Although the first book we will begin exploring in this way is the book of Genesis, we nevertheless plan to launch several other 7m Ponderings from other books of the Bible in due time. So welcome to 7m Ponderings: Counseling through Genesis.
