In this episode of Solid Food, Dr. Lee Lewis examines the sobering account of Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10 and the offering of “strange fire.” What made their worship unacceptable—and why was God’s response so severe? By exploring the broader context of Leviticus and the holiness of God, this study reveals that worship is not self-defined but regulated by divine instruction. What happens when those closest to God treat Him as common? Join us as we wrestle with the weight of God’s holiness and what it means to truly honor Him.
