What happens when we stop seeing the snake merely as a creature to fear and begin to see it as a theological teacher? In my latest Complex Creatures conversation, I sit down with Dr. Joe Gordon to explore snakes, Scripture, fear, and the strange, beautiful world God has made. We talk about Genesis, the evolution of human perception, theology in the outdoors, and what it might mean to inhabit creation with greater humility, curiosity, and affection. Perhaps the snake has more to teach us about being human than we have been willing to consider.
