Join us in this episode as we see the kingdom's devastating split. Despite prideful choices and political chaos, we can be confident God's plans and promises will always prevail.

Themes of this podcast:

God’s covenant will prevail, even through human failure. Despite the foolishness, division, and rebellion of Israel’s kings and people, God’s promise to David remains intact. God’s plan cannot be derailed—even by bad kings, broken kingdoms, or national collapse.

Wisdom is a choice and so is foolishness. Rehoboam had access to wisdom through his father Solomon’s proverbs, his advisors, and his heritage, but he rejected it. His story is a cautionary tale that wisdom isn’t inherited—it’s chosen. When we choose pride and comfort over counsel and obedience, the consequences can be devastating for everyone.

God is in control, even when the kingdoms fall apart. From torn cloaks to divided thrones, God can make everything that happens work for our salvation. The world may seem out of control, but nothing is outside God’s hand.
