23.46 Manasseh, The Wicked Son of King Hezekiah (Part 1)

Today is an exciting day for the Indigenous Faith Podcast.  You'll want to listen to Craig and LaDonna and their breaking news about the new Indigenous Faith 2.0 Video Teaching Series that is now available for download and viewing at their tribalrescue.com website!  That's right, all the content from their August 2022 Indigenous Faith International Leader's Conference is now accessible online so you can use it in your local community, church, small group, etc.!  After hearing about this brand new piece of the Indigenous Faith puzzle, the Smiths launch headway into their new sessions on King Manasseh, the son of King Hezekiah.  While Hezekiah was known as one of the most godly leaders ever, his son Manasseh became known as one of the most evil of all human leaders that ever existed.  Unfortunately, he led with this wickedness over the southern Kingdom of Judah in a fifty-five year reign.  As Craig and LaDonna launch into 2 Chronicles 33 and later on into 2 Kings in a parallel passage, it soon will become clear as to what defined Manasseh's wicked reign, which couldn't get any worse than what it was.  The Smiths seek to contrast godly leaders from wicked leaders because their behaviors were all about syncretistic and demonic behaviors, or, the cleaning up of those kinds of behaviors once a new and more godly leader took to the throne.  Yes, syncretism has always been around, and is manifesting itself today in modern evangelicalism, masquerading as contextualization of the gospel.  These next few episodes will be brutal to endure reading and listening to, but necessary to understand the heart of God in these important matters.  So please come with an open mind, and maybe keep a barf bucket handy just in case you need it as the Smiths launch into this series they've titled, Manassah, the Wicked Son of King Hezekiah...
