Episode Synopsis

Send us a textBryan VanHaitsma is back in the studio and in true Bryan fashion he starts with the history lesson. Most of us quickly skim over verses 1 and 2, but not Bryan.  He describes what was happening before the third year of King Jehoiakim's reign and explains the "game board" for these battles. When we understand the backdrop to the story, we are able to more fully grasp the lessons in this book.  Bryan VanHaitsma is the digital media director for Revive Our Hearts.  He studied at Hope College in Michigan and Jerusalem University College in Israel.  He has a passion for digging into Scriptures that we often find perplexing, helping us understand why that story might be included, and what we are supposed to do in light of that story.Our website - www.thecontextandcolorofthebible.comWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeWe are on Pinterest - The Context and Color of the BibleMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
