| 0:29.5 | Chad, we are in 2nd Kings chapter 6. |
| 0:32.1 | We got a interesting story last week about |
| 0:34.4 | the axe head being made to float God doing miraculous things just for the sake of |
| 0:40.6 | helping people out. It was our conclusion on that story. |
| 0:44.2 | And now, Alisha is going to do something a little bit different. |
| 0:49.0 | He's going to get involved with some rulers, some kings, and he's gonna start giving advice to try to hopefully avoid |

| 2:02.0 | it's not the soldiers, it's not even kind of the common people, but it's the outcasts, it's lepers who are going to be the heroes, heroes of the day. |
