Our Story

We have come through different doors into the same ancient story. Some of us grew up Catholic, learning the rhythms of liturgy and sacrament. Others found their way through Pentecostal renewal, alive to the Spirit's immediate presence. Still others? Well, their paths wound through doubt, years of questions, and the slow work of unlearning what they had been told. What we share is not a denominational label. It is a conviction that Jesus (YHWShA), the Son of God (YHWH), has spoken into human history, and that his words still matter in a world that desperately needs them.

What We've Observed

Here is what we have noticed over the years. Many churches have drifted from what the first disciples taught. The drift happened with the best intentions, no doubt. Some turned faith into control systems, using fear and distorted teaching to manage members rather than set them free. Others went the opposite direction, softening every edge until nothing sharp remains, nothing to challenge what we bring to the text. Both approaches miss what the Scriptures actually offer. Not a manual for human power. Not a collection of nice thoughts. A coherent story about God's rescue operation for a broken world.

The modern church mirrors the political tribalism of our age. Left and right, progressive and conservative, each side baptizes its agenda and calls it the kingdom. But the kingdom Jesus announced transcends these categories entirely. It is not a voting bloc. It is the in-breaking of God's future into the present, calling us to citizenship in a reality that judges all earthly kingdoms by a different standard. That is what we want to explore here.

Our Approach

So what is Babel Report about? We want to find and share the truth. Not to make anyone famous or build an empire, but to focus on Jesus, the one who rules over all. Paul puts it plainly to the Corinthians. Servants are nothing in themselves. Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything. Only God causes the growth. That is the posture we are after.

We do this work because we believe the kingdom of heaven is coming. We take seriously the example of the Bereans, who did not simply accept what they were told. They examined the Scriptures carefully every day to see if these things were so. That kind of intellectual honesty, that willingness to test what we hear against the story God has been telling from the beginning, is what we hope to encourage. The goal is not to dismantle faith but to help people grow stronger in it, rooted in the actual teaching of Scripture rather than the distortions that have piled up over the centuries.

Our Mission

Babel Report shares God's light. We always point people to Jesus, who rules over all. That is our mission in a sentence. Everything else is commentary.

You may find, as we have, that the ancient story still speaks. It answers questions you did not know you were asking. It provides coherence in a world where meaning has fractured into a thousand competing narratives. The invitation stands. Come and see.
