Episode Synopsis

Embark on a revelatory journey with me, Pastor Brandon, as we traverse the historical paths woven through 1 Kings 16. Witness how a once-glorious kingdom crumbles under the weight of corrupt rulers like Baasha, Elah, and Zimri. Their narratives are a gripping illustration of the perils of power unchecked by morality. Through the unraveling of Israel's monarchy, we learn that without adherence to divine guidance, leaders can lead nations into chaos—a cautionary echo reverberating through the ages, reminding us, "This is why we can't have nice things."In the shadow of fallen kings, we seek and find a resilient hope in God's unwavering strength. As we sift through the tales of challenge and adversity faced by the nation of Israel, we celebrate the enduring beacon of faith that guides us through life's fiercest storms. Invoking the spirit of Elijah's bold confrontation in 1 Kings 18, the episode culminates in an inspiring charge; a heartfelt invitation to stand firm in the commitment to the one true God. Join us for an episode that not only reflects on the past but also ignites the flames of faith for today's journey.We’d love to hear from you.
