About this listen

What happens when a once-faithful leader starts believing their own hype? King Hezekiah's journey from spiritual revolutionary to prideful collector offers a stark warning about prosperity's hidden dangers.

Auntie Lala takes us deep into 2 Kings, where we meet a king who transformed a nation by reopening the temple, reestablishing festivals, and turning hearts back to God. The celebrations were so joyous they extended them an extra week! When faced with death, Hezekiah's tearful prayers moved God to grant him fifteen more years of life, complete with miraculous signs and divine protection from enemies.

But success proved to be Hezekiah's undoing. Join us as we explore this timeless warning about prosperity's spiritual pitfalls and discover how to maintain a grateful, humble heart no matter what blessings come our way.
