Summary
What if the collapse of a nation doesn't start with rebellion… but with forgetfulness?
In this episode, we walk through Judges 2:10-19 and uncover a pattern that still plays out today: a generation that drifts from God, replaces Him with lesser things, and slowly loses what it once had. This is not just ancient history, it is a warning.
