Quotes: 

“This genealogy shows how the history of all creation is moving toward the history of this one people and this one man. For the sake of the one promise.” –Hannah DeSouza 

“We have to accept that there's something bigger going on here than a literal, at face value meaning. What is God trying to tell us?” –Dr. David Pocta  

“It makes sense that if God cares about his glory and kind of has that same passion in a way, that we also would reflect some of that in our own identity, bearing his image.” –Hannah DeSouza
