Before Cain Killed Abel: What Happened First?

In Part 1 of Episode 2 of our Family Dynamics series, we begin exploring the story of Cain and Abel. While many people focus on the murder in Genesis 4, we examine the foundation that was laid long before that moment ever happened. We discuss why Genesis is one of the most important books in the Bible, how it establishes patterns that continue throughout Scripture, and why the story of Cain and Abel actually begins with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. In this episode, we explore: Why Genesis is the foundation of the biblical narrative The escalation of sin throughout Genesis 1–11 How sin moved from the individual to the family The importance of environment within family relationships The original design of Eden How relationships were affected after the Fall The role of Adam and Eve in the broader Cain and Abel story Why family dysfunction rarely begins with one event Scriptures Discussed: Genesis 2 Genesis 3 Genesis 4 Deuteronomy Proverbs As we begin studying the first family in Scripture, we examine how patterns of dysfunction develop, spread, and ultimately impact future generations.
