The Eden Option: Choosing a Story 1 Life in a Story 2 World

“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.”

—C. S. Lewis

The world is accelerating in the wrong direction. It feels like all we’re doing is trying to fix what’s broken. And it isn’t working. We’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and losing heart.

Where is God in all this? Well, he’s living a different story. A story he’s inviting us into.

Story 1 is the original, true story we were made for. A way of life that revolves around God where we are fully seen, known, and loved. Story 2 is the counterfeit narrative we're born into. A way of life that revolves around us. We make ourselves the hero of the story; then wonder why God seems distant.

The Eden Option is a beacon that calls us back to God-reality. It reveals his original de- sign for our lives, how we lost it, and why it matters more than we imagine.

When we return to Story 1, we reclaim four traits that Adam and Eve relinquished:

Eden Union. Eden Voice. Eden Vision. Eden Rest.

All are needed for such a time as this. Discover the choice that leads to a new way to live, speak, see, and rest in this restless world.

It’s a Homeward Journey that leads not to the Eden of the past...but to the New Eden that awaits.
