What do we do when the world around us feels like Babylon—loud, overwhelming, and full of competing allegiances? This week, Bryan guides us through Revelation 17–19 and the sweeping biblical story behind the idea of Babylon, tracing it from Genesis to the prophets, to Jesus, and finally into John’s vision. With clarity and compassion, he shows how Babylon isn’t just an ancient empire but a recurring pattern of human kingdoms that choose power, domination, and idolatry over the way of the Lamb.

Through vivid imagery, Scripture, and the “third way” revealed by Jeremiah, we’re invited to live as exiles—blessing our enemies, resisting idolatry, and holding fast to Jesus in a world that pulls us in every direction.

Listen and be encouraged to discern wisely, persevere faithfully, and remember where your true home is: in the presence of God.
