In this episode of Great Men of the Bible, host Joe Stopulos is joined by theologian and bestselling author Dr. Allen Hunt to explore the life of Noah, the first great man of Scripture after the fall. Together they move beyond the childhood version of the story and uncover the depth, drama, and theological richness contained in Genesis 6–9. Dr. Hunt explains why Noah “found favor” with God, what it means to walk with the Lord in a corrupt generation, and how Noah’s obedience, perseverance, and priorities continue to challenge believers today. The conversation also unpacks Noah’s covenant, the typology of the ark and baptism, and the reality that even great biblical figures have weaknesses. This episode shines a light on sin, covenant, and the unstoppable hope God offers, reminding us that chaos never gets the final word.
