Summary
King Hezekiah didn't inherit a legacy of faith—he inherited a mess. His father, Ahaz, led Judah deep into idolatry, even turning good things—like the bronze serpent from Book of Numbers 21—into objects of worship. But Hezekiah refuses to follow that path. From the very beginning of his reign, he takes bold, decisive action to turn the nation back to the Lord. In this episode, discover what it looks like to lead with conviction, tear down what's corrupt, and pursue true faith in the face of a broken past.
