Share a commentWhat do you do when you’ve found hope, healing, and life-changing news—while the world around you suffers in silence?This powerful episode from 2 Kings 6–7 follows four lepers who stumble upon the abandoned camp of Israel’s enemy and discover food, riches, and safety. As the city of Samaria groans in famine, these outcasts face a convicting realization: “We do not well. This is a day of good news, but we are keeping silent.”Stephen Davey walks you through this compelling narrative, showing how God often uses the unlikely to accomplish the extraordinary. You’ll also meet a cynical king, a prophet under threat, and a royal officer who mocks God—and pays the price. From royal courts to city walls, from secret sin to silent courage, this episode explores what happens when people either share or suppress the truth.With application for today’s church, Stephen challenges you to rethink how you’re using your influence. Are you keeping the gospel quiet while the world grows louder with its counterclaims? “We do not well” is more than a confession—it’s a call to action. This episode will inspire you to break the silence and speak up for eternity.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardbackLearn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
