Because that’s how integrity works—we are the same people in public that we are in private.

My neighbours, family, kids, friends will all know the truth.

🔥Any Tower of Babel hot takes?🔥

This Sunday I’m preaching on Genesis chapters 10 & 11.

While my sermon is currently complete, I don’t preach from traditional notes so I’m open to any of your insights!

Also, I love ziggurats, so I’ll definitely be talking about them.
