Genesis 11 — Babel’s Collapse

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2556077/open_sms] Genesis 11 presents Babel as a human attempt to ascend without alignment—to simulate sacredness through architecture and collective ambition. We explore how pride organizes systems, how language functions as moral boundary, and why God’s confusion of speech is an act of mercy rather than destruction. Join J. Daniel Alejos as we examine why unity without consecration cannot hold.
