The Beginning of Sin & Shame

Scott Whaley

Have you ever wondered why we hide when we mess up?

Why guilt lingers, shame whispers, and it feels easier to cover up than come clean?


That instinct didn’t start with you.

In Genesis 3, we see the moment sin and shame first entered the human story—and how quickly fear replaced freedom. In Week 2 of Beginnings, we step into the tension of that moment, not to heap blame, but to understand ourselves more clearly and see God more honestly.
