Nimrod is a little mentioned man in the Bible, yet when digging through history, we find that he may have had a huge impact on many biblical events. Was he a good or evil man? Why does it matter?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of Nimrod in the Bible, how he likely wasn't a good "mighty hunter," and a deep dive into outside sources that may link him with other notable people throughout history, including his involvement in the Tower of Babel, the creation of Baal, and the rise of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. Check out this episode for some interesting notes on a rarely talked about, yet pretty important man in the Bible.
