Navigating the Bible: Joel

“That is why the Lord says, ‘Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.’ Return to the Lord for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.” Joel 2:12-13The book of Joel, the second of the minor prophets, is such a beautiful book. It’s not long, only three chapters, but packs quite a spiritual punch. It tells of a locust swarm. It tells of a call to repentance and what it means to rejoice in the Lord. It tells of the promise of the Spirit of the Lord. It tells of God’s judgment against enemy nations and blessings for God’s people. Joel is surely a book that, even though it might not be the most taught-through, has a lot of recognizable truths. To help us navigate the book of Joel is Dr. David Baker. David is Professor of Old Testament at Ashland Theological Seminary and author of a number of commentaries including one on Joel. Doable Discipleship is a podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland. Resources Related to This Episode:https://www.amazon.com/Joel-Obadiah-Malachi-Application-Commentary/dp/0310207231Subscribe to the Doable Discipleship podcast at Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doable-discipleship/id1240966935) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/1Zc9nuwQZOLadbFCZCmZ1V)Related Doable Discipleship Episodes: Navigating the Bible: Hosea - https://youtu.be/blQxs63iq_0Navigating the Bible: Daniel - https://youtu.be/v_F7CadyUUgNavigating the Bible: Ezekiel - https://youtu.be/Q0u4td1tYWANavigating the Bible: Lamentations - https://youtu.be/3JArxJSekq0Navigating the Bible: Jeremiah - https://youtu.be/H8ZW6tnr4UcNavigating the Bible: Isaiah - https://youtu.be/yDhZAXFa8igNavigating the Bible: Song of Songs - https://youtu.be/09eruUCXMbMNavigating the Bible: Ecclesiastes - https://youtu.be/226hY2qOr08Navigating the Bible: Proverbs - https://youtu.be/-5NJNmBc3bgNavigating the Bible: Psalms - https://youtu.be/sSB6thFWk2wNavigating the Bible: Job - https://youtu.be/AA1Q6cVWoqoNavigating the Bible: Esther - https://youtu.be/TkQtX8wtmbQNavigating the Bible: Nehemiah - https://youtu.be/zWR-5pSzk1cNavigating the Bible: Ezra - https://youtu.be/23Sdch-pZK0Navigating the Bible: 2 Chronicles - https://youtu.be/Xs7k9ntEcuENavigating the Bible: 1 Chronicles - https://youtu.be/eagXyo9oepgNavigating the Bible: 2 Kings - https://youtu.be/vuCefx3wha0Navigating the Bible: 1 Kings - https://youtu.be/EQjzZ0lvLjoNavigating the Bible: 2 Samuel - https://youtu.be/9UOoIvfwXy0Navigating the Bible: 1 Samuel - https://youtu.be/kWKqWlB8pkENavigating the Bible: Ruth - https://youtu.be/shGuoDkiFkgNavigating the Bible: Judges - https://youtu.be/Sz6TL_w-gpcNavigating the Bible: Joshua - https://youtu.be/5gldD5FM-wkNavigating the Bible: Deuteronomy - https://youtu.be/JidwMnYL51kNavigating the Bible: Numbers - https://youtu.be/V60gGr-9pHwNavigating the Bible: Leviticus - https://youtu.be/1-I-QdjB700Navigating the Bible: Exodus - https://youtu.be/1ELkgAlWFGgNavigating the Bible: Genesis - https://youtu.be/5zXHObysL6gInspiring Dreams by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoonMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
