S1E24-The Fall of a Kingdom and the Call to Return

In Week 24, we journey through 2 Kings 17–23, Jeremiah 1–3:5, Jeremiah 25, and Jeremiah 29, witnessing the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, the faithful leadership of Hezekiah and Josiah, and the devastating consequences of Judah's continued rebellion under kings like Manasseh. As Jeremiah begins his prophetic ministry, he calls God's people to return to the Lord, warning of coming judgment while revealing God's persistent mercy and faithfulness. Through stories of exile, repentance, and renewal, these passages remind us that while God's judgment is real, His invitation to return and His promise of hope remain available to all who seek Him.

S1E23-From the Throne Room to the Cross: The Holy One, the Suffering Servant, and the Coming King

Week 23 of the Year of the Word Companion Podcast explores some of Scripture's most powerful prophetic passages, including Isaiah 6, 9, 44–45, 52–53, 65–66, and Micah 1, 4–5. Together, these readings reveal God's holiness, the promise of the coming Messiah, the sacrifice of the Suffering Servant, and the hope of a future restoration for God's people. Join us as we discover how Isaiah and Micah point us to Jesus—the Holy One, the Suffering Servant, and the Coming King.

S1E22-Four Prophets, One Message: God's Pursuit of His People

This week, we begin our journey through the Prophets as we explore Jonah 1–4, Hosea 1–3, Amos 1 and 9, and Joel 1–3, discovering how God used these covenant messengers to call His people back to faithfulness during a time of growing idolatry, injustice, and spiritual compromise. Through Jonah's mission to Nineveh, Amos's plumb line of justice, Hosea's picture of covenant love, and Joel's call to repentance, we see a God who relentlessly pursues both His people and the nations with mercy, truth, and restoration. Join us as we uncover how these prophetic books reveal God's heart for justice, His unwavering love for the unfaithful, and His invitation to return to Him and experience the transforming power of His Spirit.

S1E21- The Lord Alone Is God: Elijah, Elisha, and the Battle for Israel's Heart

Week 21 of the Year of the Word takes us through 1 Kings 16:29–34; 17; 18–19; 21–22 and 2 Kings 2; 5; 6:1–23 as we explore the ministries of Elijah and Elisha during one of the most spiritually turbulent periods in Israel's history. As King Ahab and Queen Jezebel lead the nation into idolatry and compromise, God raises up prophets to call His people back to covenant faithfulness through dramatic confrontations, miraculous provision, powerful acts of mercy, and unmistakable demonstrations of His sovereignty. Join us as we examine the battle for Israel's heart and discover why the central message of these chapters remains just as relevant today: The Lord alone is God.

S1E20-Guard Your Heart — Wisdom, Worship, and the Fall of Solomon

In Week 20 of the Year of the Word Companion Podcast, we walk through Proverbs 1–4, Proverbs 16–18, Proverbs 31, and 1 Kings 11–12 as we explore what biblical wisdom truly means. Together, these passages reveal that wisdom is not merely knowledge, but learning to live faithfully before God in every area of life while guarding our hearts from compromise and spiritual drift. As we read the wisdom of Solomon alongside the downfall of Solomon, we are reminded that outward success can never replace wholehearted devotion to God.
