Most of us recognize, intuitively and by observation, that we are broken.
We enter adulthood carrying emotional scars from childhood that shape our ability to live healthy adult lives — and invariably pass them on to our own children, continuing the cycle. Author Henry Yoder traces that cycle all the way back to the garden of Eden.
But most of us also carry a deeper intuition: that life was meant to be more than our experience of brokenness — that this was not how it was originally intended. Where does that intuition come from? Is it wishful thinking? Or is it possible that God has pressed His image into you so deeply that, even after everything you have experienced, the “longing for Eden” is still in your soul?
Join Henry Yoder as he describes God’s original intention for you as one formed in His image, invites you to examine the cause of your brokenness, and offers a way forward toward the wholeness you long for.
Henry Yoder is a bi-vocational minister with a passion for church planting, leadership development, teaching, and pastoral work. He lives in a suburb of Pittsburgh with his wife, Connie.
