Episode 1104: Making Waves, Part 2

Today’s episode is Part 2 of “Making Waves,” a special musical theater edition of 1010 Thrive.

We kick off with the song “Build That Ark” that captures the perseverance and unwavering faith of Noah despite the ridicule and doubt from those around him. It emphasizes how Noah remained steadfast in his mission, obeying God's command to build the ark even as his neighbors mocked him. The chorus serves as a powerful reminder to keep building and trusting in God's guidance, even when others fail to understand or believe. Through ringing hammers and tireless effort, Noah and his family continue their work, showing that faith does not require a crowd—it requires obedience.

The dramatic scene further explores the emotional and relational toll of Noah's mission on his family. His sons, particularly Ham, struggle with the weight of public scorn, questioning whether the cost of their obedience is too great. Japheth wavers between his brothers' opposing views, unsure whether to prioritize faith or reputation. However, their grandfather, Methuselah, serves as a guiding voice, reminding them of the deep spiritual significance of their work. He reassures them that what they are building is more than just a structure—it is the vessel of their salvation, the only hope for the future.

As Methuselah imparts his wisdom, the brothers experience a shift in perspective. They come to understand that while the world embraces darkness, their father is building toward the light. Through the song "Together We Build," they unite in their calling, choosing to stand beside Noah in faith. Methuselah, knowing his time is short, leaves them with the assurance that their obedience will become a legacy, one that will be remembered for generations. With renewed determination, they return to their work, knowing that their labor is not in vain—it is a testament to faith in a world that has turned away from God.
