Episode 21 of Season 3 is a character sketch of the life of Elijah and relevant lessons to be learned.  One of the goals of this podcast is to equip the believer to be formed into the image of Jesus.  We do that through evaluating the various ideas that shape us, and also by advocating for biblical formation.  One of the lessons of the life of Elijah - to slow down and listen - is a profound one for us that live in the 21st century, subjected to a constant barrage of noise that drowns out the still small voice of God.
