Hearing Heart - 1 Kings 3:3–4:34 | June 8, 2026

Welcome to One Single Story, where each weekday we offer a brief lesson from the One Year Bible. Hosts Pastor Stephen Mizell and Pastor Jay Rivenbark are joined by Pastor Sheryl Daughety as they explore 1 Kings 3:3–4:34 - and what it means to ask God for the right things. Solomon has just been established as king. Aware of the gap between his ability and his responsibility, he makes a remarkable request - not for wealth or power, but for a hearing heart to serve his people well. In this episode, the team unpacks why listening is the foundation of true wisdom, how to keep our requests aligned with God's priorities rather than our own comfort, and why God-given wisdom is one of the most magnetic evangelistic tools a believer can carry. As Pastor Stephen reminds us: "Wisdom begins when we stop talking to God and start listening to Him."
