Why Did God Allow the Serpent? Adam, Free Will, and Spiritual Leadership | The Well Podcast S12E01

Why did God allow the serpent in the garden, and what does Adam's story teach men about spiritual leadership? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman explore Genesis 3 and the cost of "quiet failure," when men shrink back from leading and their families feel the impact for generations.

Pastor Phil explains the difference between condemnation and conviction, why past mistakes don't have to define your future, and how God's design for free will, love, and grace points to Jesus, the "Second Adam."

This episode encourages men to reject passivity, lead courageously, and walk confidently in God's grace, whatever their past.
