On this this week's edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Zack Unkenholz, and Alyssa Bream discuss the themes of the Book of First Kings. Why do we have a longing to be home? To be with our people? How did Rehoboam not get any wisdom from his father to make such a stupid decision? Was Rehoboam being stubborn or was there any point of not listening to people who asked for less taxes? When is it wise to listen to older, seasoned advice vs younger advice? How does the story of Rehoboam's decision show the dangers of surrounding yourself with only like-minded people? Rehoboam asked to think for three days before making his decision. How much time should we take before making decisions? Where should we look to for wise council? Did the people not remember the story of God rescuing them from Egypt or did they just not care? Was this the Mandela effect, where there was mass collective confusion as to the truth of the matter? Jeroboam was scared that people would worship in the Southern kingdom and change loyalties. His decision was built on fear. How can we stop from making choices in fear? The Israelites remembered being brought out of Egypt, but they seem to have been tricked into believing it was due to the golden calves. How can we be tricked into remembering things differently?
