How does wealth and power influence faith and legacy? In this episode, we explore the biblical story of Gideon—his rise as a leader chosen by God, his faithful obedience in delivering Israel from oppression, and his ultimate downfall as wealth and power led to spiritual ruin for him and his family.

Join us as we unpack the often-overlooked conclusion of Gideon's story and reflect on the dangers of misplacing glory and trust.
