Ep. 15 - Fallen Angels, Giants, and the Power of Silence - ft. Kim Hall, Libby VanSolkema, Tryg Veker | The Locker Room
Some parts of scripture are weird, especially when approaching the text from a modern Western context. Should we ignore them? Can we understand them? Why does it matter? We sit down with Ancient Paths affiliate and All Saints Church (Austin, TX) Director of Women’s Ministry Kim Hall to discuss all things Genesis 6. We talk about fallen angels, giants, the Nephilim, the spiritual realm, and what the implications are for today. Finally, we talk about the power of silence in the Christian life.
