In this episode we continue working through chapter 7 of the book, which discusses sin.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Some discussion prompts related to this passage can include:  The human ego since Adam is determined to claim autonomy and control, and attempt to control other things inorganically. &amp;nbsp;Consider that corruption of Adam that corrupts us, and how we see it in the world around us. &amp;nbsp;Contrast that with how God works, and the SELF-control that Jesus showed. From images of God, to images of man\u2019s invention: consider God\u2019s  Green Arc versus the Red Pyramid world of human invention. &amp;nbsp;Specifically, think about God\u2019s wealth, as opposed to human wealth.
