Summary
In this episode, we continue our Kings series by exploring the life of King Jehoshaphat—a leader marked by deep devotion to God, strong leadership, and a few surprisingly questionable decisions. From spiritual reform and national peace to an ill-advised alliance with the infamous King Ahab, Jehoshaphat's story reminds us how even faithful people can drift into compromise. Join us as we unpack the tension between wisdom and weakness and what it looks like to keep our eyes on God when we don't know what to do.
