Watch a two-minute video to explore the idea of the “good gold” outside the Garden of Eden.Genesis 2 describes how the River of God flowed out of the Garden to the chaos land.And in those rivers, good gold, rare perfume, and onyx stones exist.”The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there” (NIV, Ge 2:12).Outside of the Garden of Eden exist essential ingredients for the Tabernacle.


Venturing outside the safety of the Garden leads to another question, “Can we be hurt without being harmed?”

You can explore why this world is a perfectly safe place for us with Dallas Willard here (Thanks, Mark Fields).
