Finding the Way Home, Part 3: Stuck in the Wrong Story | TYLER CARROLL

What if the reason we feel restless, anxious, or disconnected isn't just our circumstances—but the story we believe we're living in? In Part 3 of Finding the Way Home, Pastor Tyler explores a recurring pattern in Scripture that begins just outside the gates of Eden and comes into sharp focus at the Tower of Babel. After exile, humanity doesn't simply wander—we start building. Cities. Systems. Towers. Stories meant to give us identity, security, and meaning apart from God. From Cain settling in the land of Nod to the rise of Babylon, the biblical story reveals a deeply human impulse: trying to recreate "home" on our own terms. Again and again, people attempt to secure life from the ground up—only to find themselves more fragmented, confused, and distant from the life they were created for. But this is not a story of condemnation. It's a story of mercy. God intervenes at Babel not to punish humanity, but to interrupt a path that would ultimately destroy us. In the scattering, God begins something new—setting the stage for His rescue to unfold through Abraham, the Exodus, and ultimately Jesus. This message invites us to slow down, examine the stories shaping our lives, and ask an honest question: What story am I living in—and where is it leading me? And more importantly, it invites us to hear God's gentle call into a better story—one that leads us home.
