What happens when faith meets hardship? The story of Hannah and Samuel in 1 Samuel reveals the power of a surrendered life. Hannah’s desperate prayer leads to the birth of Samuel, a prophet who will guide Israel. Meanwhile, Eli the priest fails to restrain his wicked sons, and God’s judgment soon follows.

This episode contrasts Hannah’s unwavering trust with Eli’s passive leadership. It explores how God rewards faith, disciplines sin, and calls those who listen. As Samuel learns to hear and obey God, he becomes a key figure in Israel’s history. You’ll discover timeless truths about parenting, leadership, and personal obedience.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged, doubted your impact, or struggled to hear God’s voice, this episode will encourage you. Learn what it means to say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant hears,” and see how one person’s faith can shape a generation.
