Beyond the Gates of Eden: Join the Journey Through the Trees of Scripture

I'm excited to announce the launch of Beyond the Gates of Eden, an online theological conference designed to take you deep into the biblical themes of trees, sacred space, and communion with God—from Genesis to Revelation.

Unlike traditional conferences, this one unfolds monthly, giving you time to watch, reflect, and discuss each lecture before the next one drops. Our goal is to help you move beyond passive listening and into rich, thoughtful engagement with others.

🌳 What Is Beyond the Gates of Eden? 🌳

It’s more than a set of video lectures. It’s a journey.

Each month (until we run out), a new lecture will be released exploring how the trees of Eden, the theme of sacred space, and the presence of God run through the storyline of Scripture. These lectures are not livestreams, so you can watch anytime—but if you stay on schedule, you can join the conversation live at the end of each cycle.  

Each session includes:

• A 30–50 minute video lecture from a trusted voice in the world of biblical theology and theological podcasting—bringing deep insight in an accessible, conversational format

• Free downloadable study materials for small group or personal use

• A live panel discussion to go deeper with the speakers

• A live Q&A session where your questions are welcome

2. Join the live panel discussion (dates announced monthly)

Who Is This For?

Whether you're:

• A pastor or small group leader looking for high-quality study material,

• A theological enthusiast wanting to go deeper into biblical themes,

• Or just someone curious about what Eden, communion, and sacred space have to do with your faith—

This conference is for you.

No registration is needed.  No fees.  All materials are free and remain available online, so you can join at your own pace, even if that's not when these are actively dropping.  But we highly encourage staying on schedule so you can benefit from the live interaction and community conversations that are part of each month's rhythm.

Why It Matters

This conference was built out of a simple desire:  to help people study the Bible together.  Not just to consume good content, but to have conversations that matter—about Scripture, sacred space, life with God, and the hope of restoration.

If participation is strong and the response continues to grow, we’d love to do more of this in the future.  Your engagement helps shape what comes next. 

Watch. Reflect. Share.

Go Beyond the Gates of Eden—and bring others with you.  The journey begins now.
