Hey friends! In this episode of Clearly, we dive into First and Second Chronicles, and yep—we brought the musical energy with us (you're welcome and/or we apologize). 🎶 We admit it: at first glance, these books can feel like a slog. Names, genealogies, land divisions... it’s not exactly the feel-good Psalm of the day. But hang with us, because there's so much more going on than meets the eye.

We unpack why these books often get skipped, what makes them challenging, and most importantly—why they’re worth your time. First and Second Chronicles aren’t just biblical reruns of Kings; they were written with a different purpose and audience in mind: a people freshly back from exile, trying to remember who they are and whose they are.

From Rafiki moments in The Lion King to the Chronicles Challenge (yes, we triple dog dare you), we explore how God is all over these pages—stirring hearts, guiding kings, and reminding us that no detail is wasted. Even those obscure names? They mattered to God. And so do you.

We talk practical tips for reading these books without giving up (hello, name-circle technique), the cosmic scope of God’s story from Adam to exile, and how Chronicles helps us see that God is involved—deeply and intricately—in every part of our lives.

Oh, and yes, we tried (and failed) to make Chronicles into an acronym. You’re welcome for that too.
