A Better Story | Ty Gibson

Explore the Bible as a story that delves into the deep human condition, beginning with relational violation. David Asscherick unpacks how this universal trauma, starting with Adam, leads to shame (Genesis 3) and repression (Job 31:33), causing us to hide our iniquity and pain within ourselves. Discover how the Bible offers confession (1 John 1:9) not as a mere ritual, but as a truth-telling process that allows God to “lift off” the weight of guilt. Learn how trauma detaches us from our life’s narrative and how the gospel offers a “better story”—the story of the Second Adam, Jesus—inviting us into a new life of restored innocence, healing, and relational integrity.
