Long before towers were built, there was a longing in the human heart. A longing to belong. A longing to be safe. A longing for our lives to matter. The story of the Tower of Babel is born from that longing. A people gather. They speak the same language. They share the same dream. The people of Genesis 11 are not villains; they are builders, dreamers, and neighbors trying to make sense of a big wo...
