Setbacks that Feel Like a Blessing • followHIM Favorites • Oct 5–11 • Come, Follow Me 2026
If you feel farther from the Lord today than you did yesterday, guess who moved? Dr. Ezra Gwilliam explores Isaiah 50-57, from the suffering servant who was “attacked” by the sins of humankind to the Lord’s tender promise to gather every outcast.
What if God, who holds oceans in His hand, is more concerned with your fear than your failures? Dr. S. Michael Wilcox joins Hank and John to explore Isaiah 40-49, weaving personal loss, a vivid vision of divine judgment, and the promise that God never grows discouraged with those who are honestly trying.
Why does a good God allow the desert–and why does he wait so long to bring us out of it? Kathryn Davis examines Isaiah’s message of destruction and restoration, showing how Christ’s role as both “restorer” and “repairer” offers a framework for trusting God’s timing even when prayers go unanswered.
What if understanding Isaiah begins with understanding the world he was trying to save? Dr. Jeffrey Chadwick explores Isaiah 1-12 through history, archaeology, and Hebrew, revealing how Assyrian conquest, the scattering and gathering of Israel, and Isaiah’s prophetic calling illuminate his message of warning, covenant, and hope.
Dr. Adam Miller examines how Ecclesiastes dismantles our illusions about success, happiness, and desire and points us toward the surprising freedom found in sacrifice and the life of Jesus Christ.
