Welcome to our new series, Stories from Sunday School. 📝 These are the stories many of us learned as children, but they contain layers of meaning that are often overlooked. In this episode, we begin with one of the Bible's most familiar accounts—Noah's Ark. ⛈️

Far more than a children's story, the flood narrative explores humanity's corruption, God's judgment, the preservation of creation, and the hope of a new beginning. 🌈 Along the way, we discuss the Nephilim, the symbolism of the ark, the significance of the forty-day pattern, and why the raven and the dove serve as a deliberate response to the Epic of Gilgamesh. 🕊️

If you think you already know the story of Noah, this episode may surprise you. Join us as we revisit this familiar account through the eyes of the ancient world and discover why its deepest message is just as relevant today. 🎙️

We originally released this episode on our YouTube channel, but are making it available on our podcast during our break. 🎙️In this episode, we step into the darker, original version of Sleeping Beauty. 👸Together, we uncover how the King and Queen’s attempt to protect their daughter from a curse leads instead to a kingdom frozen in stasis—safe, but barren and lifeless. 🧊 We explore the symbolic weight of numbers, the danger of exclusion, and what this story reveals about overprotection, both in personal life and in society at large. Sleeping Beauty is more than a bedtime story. It’s a meditation on growth, change, and the cost of refusing what is new. ✨
