Episode Description from the Publisher

Beers With Jesus – Genesis Series They wanted to build a tower that reached heaven and make a name for themselves so they wouldn’t have to scatter. God took one look and said, “This is only the beginning… they’ll stop at nothing.” In this episode, Todd, Carrie, and special guest Cousin Trevor dig into the Tower of Babel (Genesis 10–11). We talk about the two sins that keep showing up throughout Scripture — pride and disobedience — and how the same impulse still shows up today in our desire to build, organize, and reach God on our own terms. We also explore:• Why God wasn’t afraid of the tower (but was concerned about their hearts)• The connection to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil• How Pentecost reverses Babel• A surprising parallel to modern AI ambitions• Why “God comes down” is the whole story of the Bible No preachy workbook energy — just honest, funny, story-driven conversation over beers.
