Episode 8: There Was Only One Door? (Noah’s Ark & Jesus)


Listen Later

We’ve heard the story of Noah’s Ark so many times that it’s easy to stop noticing the details.


But in this episode, one detail kept standing out to us:

There was only one door.


In Genesis, God provides one ark as protection through the flood… and then personally shuts Noah inside.


At first, it just feels like part of the story.

But then we started connecting it to the New Testament, and suddenly the symbolism felt hard to ignore.

In John 10, Jesus says:

“I am the door.”

Then in 1 Peter 3, Noah’s Ark is directly connected to salvation.


Which made us stop and ask:

Was the ark pointing to something bigger all along?


We talk through rescue, protection, judgment, grace, and why familiar Bible stories sometimes feel completely different when you slow down and connect them.


We’re not theologians. We didn’t go to seminary.
We’re just two ordinary people from Iowa asking questions, noticing patterns, and learning a lot along the way.


And honestly… this one surprised us.

Come explore it with us.
