## Resource

Why does darkness exist if God is good? In this opening episode of this series, we begin in Genesis and trace the fracture that introduced sin and death into the world. Through Genesis, Romans, and John, we explore hiding, promise, and the light that shines in darkness. The night begins, but it does not begin without hope.
