It’s day 3 of our daily Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today’s guest is Ella Jenkinson, who usually works with the Spear Programme but is stepping in today to explore a weighty chunk of Genesis — chapters 4 to 9.
Tim and Ella unpack two major stories: Cain and Abel, and Noah and the ark. It’s a deep dive into broken trust, the reality of sin, and the hope found in God’s mercy and salvation. Ella reflects on Noah’s posture of walking closely with God — even when it must’ve felt strange and isolating — and Tim highlights the combination of divine grace and human obedience that led to Noah’s family being saved. The ark becomes a picture of salvation, not just from floodwaters but from the brokenness of the world, pointing forward to the rescue we find in Jesus.
They finish with a prayer of perseverance — for those of us in the “middle” of things, where obedience feels hard and results aren’t clear. There’s a quiet encouragement in this one: keep going, trust God, even when it feels like you’re building an ark in the middle of a dry season.
