Belonging to God’s Good

A Church Anew Study on Genesis

Episode 2: The Breath of God (Genesis 4:1-16)

Rev. Tyler Sit is the church planter of New City Church, a church that focuses on environmental justice. A United Methodist pastor, and the son of a Chinese immigrant, Tyler has formal training as a prison chaplain, community organizer, and social entrepreneur.

In the story of Cain and Abel, there are two brothers who have very different relationships with the land. One is connected; one is consumed. Tyler will help us wonder about what happens when our identity gets tangled up with what we produce and when toxic masculinity threatens our relationships and connection to the land.

“It is from a posture grounded in repentance that we can move towards meaningful policy change, cultural transformation, and the healing of the world’s soul wounds.”
