    Ep. 330: Are You Guilty of Cafeteria-Style Obedience?
    Jul 6 2025
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 330, “Are You Guilty of Cafeteria-Style Obedience?” Kim discusses the temptation we all face to pick and choose what we want to obey. Today’s story highlights the character King Jehu of Israel, who did an outstanding job (seemingly going a bit overboard) with wiping out the evil lineage of King Ahab, but did a pitiful job serving the Lord in other areas. May our testimony not be the same, and may we be known as one who loves the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 10:1-36, with 31 as the focal verse: “But Jehu did not obey the Law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam had led Israel to commit.” WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: When you listened to the biblical story example of cafeteria-style obedience, did the Spirit convict you regarding your own life?

  • Ep. 329: The Lord Is Never "Slow" in Keeping His Promises

    Ep. 329: The Lord Is Never "Slow" in Keeping His Promises
    Jun 29 2025
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 329, “The Lord Is Never ’Slow’ in Keeping His Promises,” Kim discusses the challenge of waiting on the Lord to fulfill His promises. In today’s story, we see the long-awaited fulfillment of the Lord’s promise to destroy Queen Jezebel for her lifetime of evil deeds. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 9:1-37, with 36-37 as the focal verses: 36 When they returned and told Jehu, he stated, “This fulfills the message from the Lord, which he spoke through his servant Elijah from Tishbe: ‘At the plot of land in Jezreel, dogs will eat Jezebel’s body. 37 Her remains will be scattered like dung on the plot of land in Jezreel, so that no one will be able to recognize her.’” WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: Spend a few prayerful moments pondering the sometimes perceived slowness of the fulfillment of the promises of God. Additional Resources and Scriptures: 20 “So, my enemy, you have found me!” Ahab exclaimed to Elijah. “Yes,” Elijah answered, “I have come because you have sold yourself to what is evil in the Lord’s sight. 21 So now the Lord says, ‘I will bring disaster on you and consume you. I will destroy every one of your male descendants, slave and free alike, anywhere in Israel! 22 I am going to destroy your family as I did the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat and the family of Baasha son of Ahijah, for you have made me very angry and have led Israel into sin.’ 23 “And regarding Jezebel, the Lord says, ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel’s body at the plot of land in Jezreel.’ 24 “The members of Ahab’s family who die in the city will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the field will be eaten by vultures.” (1 Kings 21:20-24)8 But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. 9 The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

  • Ep. 328: She Encouraged Him in Doing Wrong

    Ep. 328: She Encouraged Him in Doing Wrong
    Jun 22 2025
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 328, “She Encouraged Him in Doing Wrong,” Kim discusses the evil influences on King Ahaziah of Judah. Not only did his own mother encourage him in doing wrong, but he was advised in similar directions by other relatives. All of us have had at least one person who either encouraged us in doing wrong or did something to us that changed the trajectory of our lives. Sadly, some of us may have also been that person in the lives of others. May God use today’s lesson to bring to the light what has been hiding in darkness, and bring His healing to hurting hearts. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 8:25-29 and 2 Chronicles 22:1-9, with 2 Chronicles 22:3 as the focal verse: 3 Ahaziah also followed the evil example of King Ahab’s family, for his mother encouraged him in doing wrong. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: Who encouraged you in doing wrong? How can you best pray, either for the person(s) and/or others they lead astray?
