The source is a podcast sermon delivered by a pastor named Jim West from ColonialKC, focusing on a passage from the Book of Genesis. Specifically, the message interprets the story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9) as an illustration of humanity's sinful inclination toward self-promotion, self-protection, and the "idolatry of our own opinion." West argues that the people's desire to build a tower and a city was a direct act of disobedience to God's command to "fill the earth." The sermon then contrasts this human tendency with God's "merciful redirection," asserting that God confuses their language and disperses them for their own ultimate benefit, preventing them from corrupting themselves entirely. The pastor closes by urging the audience to trust God’s will over their own judgment, citing Jesus's perfect obedience as the ultimate example.
