Episode 15: Elijah and the Fear of Abandonment

from Maintaining a Sane Brain in a Scary World · host Colleen Maile and Jessica Tyler

This week we explore the life of Elijah, the most revered prophet in history. Jews still wait for him to herald the coming of the Messiah. Christians remain in awe of his appearance with Moses on the Mount of Transfiguration. This is the man who caused drought, brought rain, and defeated hundreds of pagan priests.  But our lesson uncovers a reluctant Man of God who suffered from loneliness, fear, and a sense of abandonment. The Bible’s revelations about this most celebrated of prophets encourages everyone who has ever felt desperate and alone.
