DJ and Crista use 1 Kings to help give a general overview of Israel’s history. The historical narrative given in the book reveals the names and events that God chooses to highlight - ultimately revealing that the Lord is the one who writes history and is in control over all things.

Joe Garcia joins Crista Jansson for a special reflection on Isaiah 40:25-31.  As they walk through the passage and model how to study the Bible, the two discuss what God reveals about himself to a people who are weighed down by their tragic circumstances. How do we approach studying prophetic books in the Bible? What comfort does Isaiah 40 give us today for difficult times?

DJ and Crista chat with Pastor Dave Van Lant around the book of Isaiah. Considered to be one of the major prophetic books of the Bible, Isaiah ultimately points its readers to the Holy One of Israel. From sovereignty to wrath and grace, there is much to uncover these next two months as we read this book.

Lauren Smart sits with Dj and Crista in this episode to set the table for what readers can expect as they read through 2 Corinthians.
