Summary

Biblical scholar and president of the National Association of Evangelicals Walter Kim joins Kaitlyn to talk about the Tower of Babel! Dr. Kim explains how the Bible is historically reliable - but also why that question is less important than what the story in Genesis 11 teaches us about humanity and God. He even draws on ancient inscriptions to explain this strange story -  in a way that actually makes sense!

I use blue-in products to clean my home, and I love knowing that every refill is one less plastic container filling up landfills.
