If God is all-loving and all-powerful, why not just forgive sin with a word? Why demand blood? In this episode of Truth Talk, Caleb and Eliana wrestle with one of the most uncomfortable questions of faith — and uncover the stunning truth hidden since Eden.

You’ll discover:

  • Why sin isn’t just breaking rules, but breaking creation itself
  • The hidden cost of forgiveness that cannot be ignored
  • How the Passover and temple sacrifices pointed to Christ’s blood
  • The forbidden insight: why the Cross was not cruelty, but God Himself absorbing the cost

This is not just theology. It’s the reason Eden’s gate can open again.
