Episode notes

Before we meet Noah, we have to understand the world he's born into — one so corrupt that God's patience is already running thin. We trace the line from Seth to Noah, unpack who the "sons of God" and the Nephilim really were, and see how God's mercy holds on even as judgment draws near.

We trace the line from Seth all the way to Noah, and see how it starts to blur with the wickedness of Cain's family

We look at who the "sons of God" and the Nephilim really were, and why even good Bible teachers land in different places on it

We find the mercy hiding inside God's 120-year warning before judgment comes

We see that God isn't just watching our actions — He sees our thoughts too

We sit with just how lonely Noah's faithfulness must have been, building for 120 years with no one else listening

We walk away with two big takeaways: God knows all, and even at the edge of judgment, His mercy holds on
