Babel — name, scattering, and a counter-call
Babel is the most relevant story in the Bible to the world you live in.
Most of the platforms that shape your day are built on the exact three moves Genesis 11 named. Build for ourselves. Make a name for ourselves. Or we will be scattered. The whole architecture of social media is climb the tower of attention or be irrelevant.
Most of the anxiety in your generation runs on the fear of being scattered — invisible, forgotten, behind the curve, off-platform, off-trend. The serpent’s lie in Genesis 3 was that you had to become more to be enough. The Babel lie is that you have to be seen to be real.
You don’t. The God who came down to confuse the tower also came down to give a name to one obscure man who wasn’t even applying for one. The Father gives names. He always has.
One small thing today: pick one platform and stay off it for one full day. Notice what comes up. Most of what you feel will be the fear of being scattered. Sit with it. Let the Father remind you that you already have a name.
