This episode of followHIM features John Bytheway, Hank Smith, and Dr. Ross Baron exploring the “historical books” of the Old Testament—Joshua through Esther—and how they reveal God’s hand in Israel’s history over roughly 800 years, from the entry into the promised land to the Persian period. They explain that these narratives show the blessings and consequences tied to the Abrahamic Covenant and emphasize that God is patient, merciful, and consistently works with His people at their level while inviting them higher.YOUTUBEhttps://youtu.be/f7JYw1YHgNgFREE PDF DOWNLOADS OF followHIM QUOTE BOOKSOld Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastOTBookNew Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastNTBookBook of Mormon: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastBMBookWEEKLY NEWSLETTERhttps://tinyurl.com/followHIMnewsletterSOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastThanks to the followHIM team:Steve & Shannon Sorensen: Cofounder, Executive Producer, SponsorDavid & Verla Sorensen: SponsorsDr. Hank Smith: Co-hostJohn Bytheway: Co-hostDavid Perry: ProducerKyle Nelson: Marketing, SponsorLisa Spice: Client Relations, Editor, Show NotesWill Stoughton: Video EditorKrystal Roberts: Translation Team, English & French Transcripts, WebsiteAriel Cuadra: Spanish TranscriptsAmelia Kabwika : Portuguese TranscriptsHeather Barlow: Communications DirectorSydney Smith: Social Media, Graphic Design"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonaldhttps://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com
