Join us each week as Laurien talks with various guests about theology, the Bible, and how we can best live during the between time.
Between The Creations covers a variety of topics pertaining to theology, Christianity, and the Bible. We are living, quite literally, between the creations. Genesis 1-2 gives us the account of the first creation, while Revelation 21 tells us of a renewed, restored creation. In the midst of this, we often get stuck in the grey spaces between an idealized, sterile theology and real-life. We are continually needing to re-think, re-learn, and grow in this grey space where we live—between the creations.
