Bashan is a region rich in Biblical history, but it is often overlooked. In this episode, Jeff and Shelby take a deep dive into the valley to highlight what scripture teaches us about its influence and presence of demonic activity. When Jesus shows up on the scene, the powers of darkness don't stand a chance.

Evil is brought to earth. Why was this allowed? Who was the Tempter? Who was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for? What was Yahweh's intentions for mankind? Were they changed or just delayed? All these questions are discussed in this episode as Jeff and Shelby continue the Genesis narrative.
