E97 Word before the world
from Lion Roars from Zion · host LionRoarsfromZion
Elizabeth and her husband used to wake up, reach for their phones, and swallow the world before they had taken one bite of God's Word. Then they encountered a teaching from Rick Renner that stopped them cold: Do not eat until you have read the Word. This is what they had been doing for the last year, and it was confirmation of their conviction. In this episode of Lion Roars from Zion, Elizabeth gets raw and real. She shares the morning routine — the non-negotiable first hour where she and her husband meet Jesus together before they meet the day. What You'll Hear ✔️Why Rick Renner says the Greek word zao ("alive") is missing from much of the modern church — and how to get it back ✔️The shocking story from Nehemiah 8 where the people refused to eat until they heard the Word read ✔️Why verse-by-verse, word-by-word preaching has evaporated — and why this generation is starving for it ✔️The chef's tragedy: how preachers can feed others while starving themselves ✔️A young man's testimony after visiting their house church: "You are all in.” Listen and be encouraged.
