C.S. Lewis once wrote, “If I find in myself desires, which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is I was made for another world.” Ryan Ingram explains why everyone has a longing and restlessness for something more. Join him in Genesis chapter 2 as he describes the perfect environment God created for Adam and Eve and why, since sin entered the world, our hearts ache to be reunited with our Creator.
