About this episode

The episode explores the story of Noah's drunkenness and its implications for understanding the gospel.

It's the strangest scene in Noah's story: the man who saved humanity, passed out drunk and exposed in his tent, and a curse that echoes for a thousand years. What did Ham actually do? Why did the curse fall on Canaan instead? And how does the Bible's most uncomfortable story run all the way to the cross? We walk the three views, follow the Leviticus trail, and trace the line from a shamed father to the Son who refused to grasp. From cursed to cured, this is the gospel hiding in Noah's tent.
