Incest? The Shocking Theory Behind Noah’s Curse | Genesis 9 | E16

In this episode, we read Genesis 9 and dive into one of the strangest moments in the Bible — Noah cursing his grandson. Was it really just about seeing his father naked, or is there a darker theory? We unpack the mainstream Christian view, explore controversial interpretations, and share a few archeological findings along the way where it comes to the winemaking that gets Noah drunk, or the flood.
