| 1 Kings 3-4: Solomon Asks for Wisdom | 02 Sep 2024 | 00:31:05 | |
In this episode, we dive into 1 Kings 3–4 and discover how Solomon’s wisdom can inspire our own lives today. Join us as we uncover lessons from the wisest king in the Bible that still matter for us today. Themes of this podcast: Ask God for the right things. Just as Solomon asked for wisdom, we can intentionally pray for what truly matters: discernment, guidance, and the ability to lead and make good decisions in our own lives. Wisdom builds peace and trust. Solomon’s wisdom brought order, security, and prosperity to Israel. Today, applying godly wisdom in our work, family, and community can create stability, trust, and peace around us. Curiosity and joy in learning God’s World. Solomon’s love for learning about God’s creation, from nature to poetry, shows that wisdom isn’t just practical, it’s joyful. We can pursue understanding with wonder, letting it deepen our relationship with God and enrich everyday life. Show Notes

| 1 Kings 2: Solomon Takes Control | 26 Aug 2024 | 00:26:11 | |
Join us as we explore King David's final words to his son Solomon. His deathbed counsel reveals wisdom that transcends generations. In this episode, we unpack how one man's imperfect but faithful journey created a legacy that continues to point others toward God. Themes of this podcast: Love and obedience go hand in hand. David's core message to Solomon was that genuine love for God naturally leads to obedience to His commands. This isn't about rigid rule-following, but about a heart transformation that makes following God's ways a natural response to His love. Deal with your unfinished business. David's story shows the heavy cost of avoiding difficult decisions and leaving justice undone. His failure to address Joab's murders and other issues ultimately became Solomon's burden. Unresolved problems don't disappear. They compound and often affect the people we care about most. Faithfulness leaves a lasting legacy. David’s imperfect but wholehearted pursuit of God became the standard for Israel’s kings. Our daily choices can shape a legacy that points others to God long after we’re gone. Show Notes

| 2 Samuel 12: David trusts God and Confronts the Consequences | 24 Jun 2024 | 00:29:46 | |
We ended the last episode with the information from 2 Samuel chapter 11, “that the thing David had done displeased the Lord.” Nothing is hidden from God’s sight. And he loves David too much to let him go any further in his sin. In 2 Samuel 12, it is God’s turn to send. God sends Nathan. God sends a message. And God sends a consequence.

| 2 Samuel 11: David Takes a Wrong Turn Onto the Path to Evil | 17 Jun 2024 | 00:28:48 | |
When we left our hero in the last episode, he was all Israel had hoped for. He was the king whom Israel needed to make God’s name known to the world. God was with David and because of that, his power grew. Our author made clear to us who holds the power by his repetitious use of the word send. In the preceding chapter, Chapter 10, the one that began with the phrase “in the course of time” and therefore, goes with these next 2 chapters. But David is about to learn that while power given by God, used for God, glorifies God. That same power used for personal pleasure is a dark and deadly path of pain. Thank you for being a part of the club.

In Leviticus 8-10, we take a break from law school to focus on the priests' ordination. As we see the grand opening of the tabernacle for worship and offerings, we need the priests to be ready to handle all the instructions regarding the tabernacle activities. The ordination readies the priests for the holy requirement the role requires.

| Leviticus 6-7: What the World Missed in Leviticus | 11 Jul 2022 | 00:33:41 | |
Leviticus 6-7 might appear repetitive to the untrained ear but it's not! While Moses does repeat the offering details we have heard in previous chapters, there is one nuance here--the laws were instructions to the priests rather than to the people. While the people needed to know how and what to offer, the priests needed instructions on how to make those offerings too. It all worked together.

What comes to mind when we hear the word 'ritual'? Although rituals can get a bad rap, the rituals laid out by God to Moses and the Israelites had multiple purposes. They acted as reminders, visible symbols, and even helped to bridge the gap for the Israelites between their world and God's world.

| 2 Samuel 8-10: David’s Kindness for Mephibosheth | 10 Jun 2024 | 00:28:00 | |
David is a man of action. So much so, that one gets the impression that he thrives in motion and cannot be still. From herding sheep and delivering food to his brothers on the front lines as a boy to hiding in caves to escape Saul and protecting the Philistines for pay while secretly sabotaging Israel’s enemies. The man is clever and makes good use of his time. But all of that is over. David is king. He doesn’t have to do it all. He has people, who have people. Yet, David has been told he can’t build a house for God because too much blood is on his hands. So what is he supposed to do? It is unsurprising that while looking for something he can do God leads him to do something that everyone else has failed to do – secure the Promised Land. David must go to war. In 2 Samuel 8, David takes action to build the nation God had planned for Israel. David has already united Israel, now he will greatly expand its boundaries.

In the Leviticus overview, Susan and Heather give us multiple reasons to dive into Leviticus and to be excited rather than overwhelmed by the law-heavy book. Susan shows us that Leviticus is the story of how God provided a way for the people of Israel to live in his holy presence.

There are 55 chapters in 1 and 2 Samuel and, without a doubt, 2 Samuel chapter 7 is the most important. In fact, this chapter ranks as one of the most important chapters in the entire Bible because, in this chapter, God will make a covenant with David. It will be the 4th and last Covenant made in the Old Testament. There is just one covenant in the New Testament making 5 total. A covenant is a binding agreement between God and His people.
