A city trembles, a wall collapses, and one red cord holds a family’s future. We revisit Joshua 2 with fresh eyes—part history lesson, part soul-search—following Rahab as she reads the moment, risks everything, and ties her fate to the God who topples empires and keeps promises. We dig into the spy craft, the king’s failed pursuit, and the surprising boldness of a woman the world wrote off, only to watch her become a mother in the royal line that leads to King David and, generations later, to Jesus.

What's the secret to loving someone who actively hates you? Not just tolerate them—genuinely love them with Christ's love? This question lies at the heart of today's exploration into one of Christianity's most challenging commands.

Our cultural landscape resembles the Nile turned to blood—what once gave life now reeks of death. Social media feeds overflow with anger, accusations fly across political divides, and hearts grow increasingly cold. Against this backdrop, we examine the radical transformation of Saul—Christianity's first notorious persecutor—into Paul, the apostle who wrote most of the New Testament. This powerful redemption story challenges us to see our enemies differently: what if that person hurling insults at you today is tomorrow's powerful voice for the gospel?

Get ready to transform how you view those who oppose you. Listen now and discover how loving your enemies might be the most powerful spiritual warfare strategy you're neglecting. Then share this episode with someone—because cold hearts, not hostile people, are the real danger to the church today.

What happens when a king who sacrificed his own children in fire finds himself in chains? The stunning redemption story of King Manasseh reveals the unfathomable depths of God's mercy.

Manasseh's journey begins in darkness. Following his father Hezekiah's mostly faithful reign, twelve-year-old Manasseh embarks on a reign of terror, rebuilding pagan altars, practicing sorcery, consulting mediums, and sacrificing his sons to false gods. As king, his actions don't just affect him; they lead an entire nation astray. God sends warnings through prophets, but these fall on deaf ears until judgment finally arrives through Assyrian commanders who drag Manasseh away in chains.

It's here, stripped of everything, that transformation begins.
