If you knew how much time you had left, would it change how you live? King Hezekiah was granted fifteen extra years, but instead of using them for God’s glory, his pride led to costly mistakes. Worse yet, his son, Manasseh, became one of Judah’s most wicked rulers—until God shocked everyone by bringing him to repentance. In today’s episode, Stephen Davey unpacks this remarkable contrast, showing how a godly past does not guarantee a faithful future, but a wicked past is no obstacle to God’s grace. If you’ve ever wondered whether someone is beyond redemption, this lesson will give you hope.

In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks the lessons from Israel’s downfall—lessons about obedience, repentance, and what happens when people try to use God rather than follow Him. Discover how history’s darkest moments still reveal God’s mercy and faithfulness.

God always keeps His Word. That includes His promises and His warnings.

In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks the dramatic story of Jehu, a military commander anointed by God to bring judgment on the wicked house of Ahab. You’ll watch prophecy unfold in vivid detail as kings fall, Jezebel meets her foretold end, and the worship of Baal is violently eradicated from Israel.

But while Jehu carries out God’s command with zeal, he stops short of full obedience. His story is a powerful reminder that it’s not enough to oppose evil. You must also pursue what is right.

Whether you’re waiting on God’s promises or wrestling with the consequences of sin, this lesson offers timely wisdom from the unchanging Word of God.

Is God really in control of history, even when things go terribly wrong? In this episode, Stephen Davey takes you through three dramatic scenes from 2 Kings 8 and 2 Chronicles 21: the restoration of a faithful widow’s land, the rise of a ruthless Syrian king, and the fall of a corrupt dynasty in Judah.

These events might seem unrelated, but each one reveals the guiding hand of God behind the scenes. You’ll see how divine providence protects the humble, confronts the wicked, and orchestrates the future.

Whether you’re facing uncertain circumstances or wrestling with the state of the world, this lesson offers hope: history is not out of control because it’s His-story.

If you’ve ever struggled to accept God’s mercy, this episode will show you why salvation isn’t earned—it’s received.
