Ep. 297: "Why, Of Course!...But First"

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 297, “Why, Of Course!..But First,“ Kim discusses the dangers of leaping before you look to the Lord first. In many ways, King Jehoshaphat of Judah was a fine example of Godly leadership, but even he nearly leapt before inquiring of the Lord.

 

Our focal passage for this episode is 1 Kings 22:1-5 with 5 as the focal verse:

 

“Then Jehoshaphat added, ‘But first let’s find out what the Lord says.’”

 

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:

 

Think about one example of when you leapt before looking to the Lord.
