Fire Away

Fire Away 47, Carlos Bersabe discusses the "origin story" and meaning of Lent w/Brett Klein. In Genesis 3: 19, God reminds our first parents—Adam in particular—“you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” On the surface, it may come across as a simple warning that death is indeed the punishment Adam chose through disobedience. However, I offer that this curse, which is echoed on Ash Wednesday, is also and more importantly a commissioning to the Christian Soldier.
