Uzziah becomes king at the ripe old age of 16 years old. He's tutored by a faithful man of God and begins his reign well. However, pride creep in and disaster soon follows.

In this episode, we continue our Kings series by exploring the life of King Jehoshaphat—a leader marked by deep devotion to God, strong leadership, and a few surprisingly questionable decisions. From spiritual reform and national peace to an ill-advised alliance with the infamous King Ahab, Jehoshaphat's story reminds us how even faithful people can drift into compromise. Join us as we unpack the tension between wisdom and weakness and what it looks like to keep our eyes on God when we don't know what to do.

The greatest story ever told! Jesus faces betrayal, mocking, torture, and even death in order that we might be reconciled to God. Through agony, Jesus heroically wins the victory! He defeats death and rises from the grave! Our story comes from John 18-21.

Paul writes 1 Corinthians 15 to a church in crises. False teachers had made their way into the congregation and were teaching that there is no resurrection of the dead. In today's episode, we explore Paul's reaction and argument for the reality and necessity of the Resurrection.

In this episode, we trace the turbulent line of Judah's kings from Abijam to Asa and discover a story filled with war, unfaithfulness, reform, and spiritual drift. While Asa began his reign with bold devotion—tearing down idols and leading the people back to God—his later years reveal the danger of relying on human strength instead of divine guidance. Through victories, compromises, and consequences, his life becomes a powerful reminder that faithfulness is not just about how we start, but how we finish. Join us as we reflect on what Asa's journey teaches us about perseverance, humility, and staying anchored to the Lord.

In this episode, we explore 1 Kings 14:1–20, where King Jeroboam secretly sends his wife to the prophet Ahijah in hopes of learning the fate of their sick son. Disguised and desperate, Jeroboam's household tries to manipulate the situation—but nothing is hidden from God.

The Lord sends a man of God to confront Jeroboam for creating a counterfeit religion and leading Israel astray. Along the way, God freezes Jeroboam's hand in judgment, an old prophet delivers a shocking lie, and the man of God meets a tragic and unexpected end. 1 Kings 13 is a story filled with dramatic twists, sobering warnings, and powerful lessons about obedience and discernment.

King Jeroboam was entrusted with a kingdom—personally chosen by God to lead the newly formed nation of Israel. All the Lord desired in return was his wholehearted devotion. Tragically, driven by insecurity and fear of losing power, Jeroboam turned away from the Lord. In an effort to secure his own position, he fashioned a counterfeit system of worship, reshaping religion not to honor God, but to control the people of God.
