On the discussion of the Leviathan, Brad shares his thoughts on how the world was before the Tower of Babel and how some of the things mentioned in the Bible may exist today, or have evidence of existence today, but there is a deception over us from the enemy, trying to hide truth from us that might give credibility to the Bible. Chris explains how the description of the Leviathan was a personal experience for her because God knew that this would start her curiosity of what other amazing things might be in the Bible. Brad shares how he first discovered how the Bible was full of passion and emotion and then the conversation is ended with Scott sharing a shout-out for Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel.
