In this episode of The TriniTea, we dive into Genesis 15, where God reassures Abram of His promises in a way that Abram would deeply understandâa covenant ceremony. But this is no ordinary contract. Instead of a mutual agreement between two parties, God takes the full weight of the covenant upon Himself, ensuring that His promises do not depend on Abramâs faithfulness, but on His own.
Why does God use this specific ritual? What does it mean that He alone passes through the pieces? And how does this moment foreshadow the greater covenant fulfilled in Christ? Weâll break it all down, exploring how this ancient scene reveals Godâs unshakable commitment to His people. If youâve ever wrestled with doubt, wondering if God will truly come through on His word, this episode is for you.

After receiving three bold promises from Godâbabies, blessing, and landâAbram continues his journey, but not without a few missteps. In Genesis 13, he puts the promise of land at risk, allowing Lot to choose first, a move that seems generous but could cost him dearly. This chapter reminds us that wisdom often comes from seeking God before making decisions, not after.
Then, in Genesis 14, Abram rises to the occasion, waging a battle to rescue Lot. Fresh off the victory, he encounters the mysterious Melchizedek, a priest-king who offers both bread and blessing. Here, Abram finally demonstrates real trust, refusing the spoils of war and relying on Godâs provision instead of human wealth.
Join us as we explore how risky choices, divine encounters, and unexpected wisdom shape Abramâs faithâand how they can shape ours too.

This week on The TriniTea, we dive into Genesis 11:27â12 and witness the pivotal moment when God calls Abram. With three stunning promisesâdescendants, land, and the call to be a blessingâGod invites Abram into a story far bigger than himself. But almost immediately, Abramâs journey is marked by tension between autonomy and trust. Faced with famine, fear, and uncertainty, he relies on his own schemes, making choices that jeopardize the very promises God made.
Yet, despite Abramâs failures, Godâs faithfulness shines through. This episode explores how Abramâs stumbling steps of self-reliance mirror our own struggles to trust Godâs promises. Ultimately, weâre reminded that even when we fail, God is the one who savesâturning our detours into part of His redemptive plan.

In this episode of The TriniTea, weâre diving into Genesis 9:18â11, where humanityâs pride and Godâs purpose collide. Weâll explore Noahâs troubling encounter with his son Ham, trace the genealogy of Shem, and unravel the infamous story of the Tower of Babel.
At Babel, people werenât just stacking bricksâthey were stacking up their own ambitions, trying to build a name for themselves rather than honoring the name of God. But in His mercy, God scattered them, not as punishment, but as protection from the increasing evil that unchecked human power brings.
Why do we keep trying to build our own kingdoms instead of Godâs? And what does this ancient story reveal about our own hearts today? Letâs break it down, sip by sip.

In this episode of The TriniTea, we explore Genesis 7-9:17, a story of decreation, recreation, and Godâs covenant with Noah and all creation. As the flood wipes away corruption, we see Godâs deep grief over humanityâs evil and how His justice, while severe, is ultimately restorative. Unlike with Cainâwho struggled with sin but was still redeemableâNoahâs generation was wholly consumed by evil, making divine intervention necessary. Yet, even in judgment, Godâs mercy prevails as He establishes a covenant, promising never to flood the earth again and sealing it with the sign of the rainbow. Join us as we unpack these powerful themes of justice, sorrow, restoration, and hope.

In this episode of The TriniTea, we step away from our usual Scripture deep dive to confront a sobering realityâthe hatred of Eve. Across history, women have been targeted with a relentless, precise violence, and tonight, we ask the obvious question; why? The answer is chilling: the enemy, incapable of creating life, hates the one who can. From the beginning, woman was designed to carry and cultivate life, and because of this, she has been a special target of evil. But her story was never just one of sufferingâGod wove her into His redemption plan, promising that through a woman, evil would be crushed. Tonight, my friend Leslie gives voice to this struggle and hope in a moving spoken word piece. Listen closelyâthis is The Hatred of Eve

Genesis 5â6 is more than just a genealogy and a strange tale of giantsâitâs a pivotal moment in Godâs story. In this episode of The TriniTea, we uncover the hidden message in the genealogy of Seth, a roadmap that quietly points to Godâs plan for salvation. But as hope is whispered through names, Genesis 6 takes a dark turn with the mysterious Nephilimâa shocking fall narrative of spiritual beings that mirrors humanityâs own rebellion. As wickedness spreads across the earth, God calls one man, Noah, to bring rest in the midst of chaos. What do these ancient accounts reveal about Godâs ultimate rescue plan? Join us as we unpack the deeper meaning behind these passages and how they connect to the larger story of redemption.

In this episode of The TriniTea, we dive into Genesis 4âthe story of Cain and Abel. Adam and Eveâs firstborn sons bring offerings to God, but when Cainâs is rejected, jealousy consumes him. In an act that echoes the serpentâs deception in Genesis 3, Cain kills his brother, giving in to sinâs destructive power. But what happens next is just as important: God doesnât abandon Cain. Instead, He engages him with questions, just as He did with Adam and Eve, offering him an opportunity for repentance.
This chapter presents a striking contrast between those who remain in Godâs presence and those who walk away. And yet, even as Cain moves east of Eden, further from Godâs presence, God followsâmarking and protecting him despite his sin.
Join us as we explore how Genesis 4 sets the stage for the ongoing human struggle with sin and separation, while also revealing Godâs relentless pursuit of relationship. What does it mean to be in Godâs presence? And how does God continue to engage with fallen people, even when they stray? Letâs talk about it.

In this episode of The TriniTea, we explore Genesis 3âthe moment sin and shame first entered the world. Adam and Eveâs disobedience introduced a brokenness that still shapes humanity today, and shame became a natural response to sin. But what happens next is just as important: shame quickly turns into contemptâtoward themselves, each other, and even God.
Yet, in the midst of this fracture, Godâs character shines through His actions. Instead of immediate destruction, He responds with questions, drawing them out of hiding. Instead of leaving them exposed, He makes them garments. Instead of allowing them to live forever in their fallen state, He mercifully protects them from an even worse fate. And in a profound act of grace, He doesnât just send them outâHe goes with them.
Join us as we unpack this pivotal chapter and discover how Godâs justice and mercy work together, even in our greatest failures.

In Genesis 1, God creates, reigns, and rests. But in Genesis 2, something fascinating happensâthe first man follows in Godâs footsteps, doing the very things God did. He works the ground, bringing order to creation. He is given authority over the animals and names them, reigning as a steward of Godâs world. And just like God, he rests when God creating woman.
In this episode of The TriniTea, we explore what it truly means to be made in the image of Godânot just in form, but in function. If being human means creating, reigning, and resting, what does that say about our purpose today? Join us for a rich discussion on Genesis 2 and the divine design woven into our very existence.

Through the rhythm of repetitionââAnd God said⊠God created⊠And it was goodââthis passage reveals the nature of God as intentional, generous, and good. Weâll explore how this grand story showcases God transforming chaos into order, bringing light, life, and purpose to the void. Join us as we unpack the significance of these opening verses and discover what they tell us about who God is and what His design means for the worldâand for us.
