This week on The TriniTea, we’re veering off the usual path of biblical interpretation and diving into a more personal thought journey. In this reflective episode, I invite you into my musings on rain—yes, actual rain. What if rain isn’t just a weather event but a kind of mini baptism? A gentle cleansing from the sky? Could it be a subtle reminder of God’s post-flood promise and the continual renewal of the earth?
Join me as I unpack this curious pondering on rain as a symbol of God’s grace, a reset button for the planet, and maybe even a spiritual metaphor we overlook in the mundane. This isn’t your typical exegetical episode—it’s more of a stream-of-consciousness exploration that might just leave you thinking a little differently the next time the skies open up.

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 understand—a 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 Abram’s 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? We’ll break it all down, exploring how this ancient scene reveals God’s unshakable commitment to His people. If you’ve 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 God—babies, blessing, and land—Abram 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 God’s provision instead of human wealth.
Join us as we explore how risky choices, divine encounters, and unexpected wisdom shape Abram’s faith—and how they can shape ours too.

This week on The TriniTea, we dive into Genesis 11:27–12 and witness the pivotal moment when God calls Abram. With three stunning promises—descendants, land, and the call to be a blessing—God invites Abram into a story far bigger than himself. But almost immediately, Abram’s 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 Abram’s failures, God’s faithfulness shines through. This episode explores how Abram’s stumbling steps of self-reliance mirror our own struggles to trust God’s promises. Ultimately, we’re reminded that even when we fail, God is the one who saves—turning our detours into part of His redemptive plan.

In this episode of The TriniTea, we’re diving into Genesis 9:18–11, where humanity’s pride and God’s purpose collide. We’ll explore Noah’s troubling encounter with his son Ham, trace the genealogy of Shem, and unravel the infamous story of the Tower of Babel.
At Babel, people weren’t just stacking bricks—they 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 God’s? And what does this ancient story reveal about our own hearts today? Let’s break it down, sip by sip.

In this episode of The TriniTea, we explore Genesis 7-9:17, a story of decreation, recreation, and God’s covenant with Noah and all creation. As the flood wipes away corruption, we see God’s deep grief over humanity’s evil and how His justice, while severe, is ultimately restorative. Unlike with Cain—who struggled with sin but was still redeemable—Noah’s generation was wholly consumed by evil, making divine intervention necessary. Yet, even in judgment, God’s 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 reality—the 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 suffering—God 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 closely—this is The Hatred of Eve

Genesis 5–6 is more than just a genealogy and a strange tale of giants—it’s a pivotal moment in God’s story. In this episode of The TriniTea, we uncover the hidden message in the genealogy of Seth, a roadmap that quietly points to God’s plan for salvation. But as hope is whispered through names, Genesis 6 takes a dark turn with the mysterious Nephilim—a shocking fall narrative of spiritual beings that mirrors humanity’s 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 God’s 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 4—the story of Cain and Abel. Adam and Eve’s firstborn sons bring offerings to God, but when Cain’s is rejected, jealousy consumes him. In an act that echoes the serpent’s deception in Genesis 3, Cain kills his brother, giving in to sin’s destructive power. But what happens next is just as important: God doesn’t 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 God’s presence and those who walk away. And yet, even as Cain moves east of Eden, further from God’s presence, God follows—marking 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 God’s relentless pursuit of relationship. What does it mean to be in God’s presence? And how does God continue to engage with fallen people, even when they stray? Let’s talk about it.

In this episode of The TriniTea, we explore Genesis 3—the moment sin and shame first entered the world. Adam and Eve’s 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 contempt—toward themselves, each other, and even God.
Yet, in the midst of this fracture, God’s 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 doesn’t just send them out—He goes with them.
Join us as we unpack this pivotal chapter and discover how God’s justice and mercy work together, even in our greatest failures.

In Genesis 1, God creates, reigns, and rests. But in Genesis 2, something fascinating happens—the first man follows in God’s 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 God’s 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 God—not 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.

In this episode of The TriniTea, we dive into Genesis 1, the Bible’s poetic introduction to God and His creative power. Through the rhythm of repetition—“And God said… God created… And it was good”—this passage reveals the nature of God as intentional, generous, and good. We’ll 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 world—and for us.
