Sacred Garden: Cultivating Religious Literacy
The Bible is full of drama, beauty, and surprises—but it’s rarely told in a way that feels simple and fun. Sacred Garden changes that. Each week, I read a chapter of scripture and break it down in plain language, sharing my thoughts with warmth, humour, and zero preaching. Whether you’re religious, spiritual, or just curious about what the Bible really says, this is your place to explore, learn, and enjoy the stories that shaped the world.

Genesis 47: Settlement & Stewardship
Genesis 47 details Joseph presenting his family to Pharaoh, securing them the land of Goshen. As the famine worsens, Joseph expertly manages Egypt's resources, trading food for livestock, land, and eventually the people themselves, ensuring their survival. The chapter highlights God's continued provision for Jacob's family and Joseph's wise administration.
