    Ep. 370: We Can't Determine What Another Imitates
    Apr 12 2026
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 370, “We Can’t Determine What Another Imitates,” Kim discusses the importance of choosing our actions and attitudes wisely. Others are watching our lives and may be imitating our attitudes and actions. If that is so, what would you want them to imitate, and what would you prefer they ignore? In today’s story, King Amon followed the example of his father, King Manasseh, in every area, except for the one that counted most — humbling himself before the Lord. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 21:19-26 and 2 Chronicles 33:21-25 , and with 2 Kings 21:21-22 and 2 Chronicles 33:22-23 as the focal verses: 21 He followed the example of his father, worshiping the same idols his father had worshiped. 22 He abandoned the Lord, the God of his ancestors, and he refused to follow the Lord’s ways. 22 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, just as his father, Manasseh, had done. He worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols his father had made. 23 But unlike his father, he did not humble himself before the Lord. Instead, Amon sinned even more.

  • Ep. 369: For All Who Think They Are Too Far Gone

    Ep. 369: For All Who Think They Are Too Far Gone
    Apr 5 2026
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 369, “For All Who Think They Are Too Far Gone,” Kim discusses King Manasseh and the miraculous turn his life took. He went from leading others down one of the darkest paths imaginable to humbly surrendering to the Lord. If Manasseh, with his massive list of sinful behavior, could hear the Lord speak and turn to Him, you are not too far gone. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 33:1-20, and with 12-13 as the focal verses: 12 But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the Lord his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. 13 And when he prayed, the Lord listened to him and was moved by his request. So the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the Lord alone is God! WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: Ask the Lord to lay on your heart someone you can lift in prayer who feels he/she is too far gone.

  • Ep. 368: Getting More Is Not Always a Good Thing

    Ep. 368: Getting More Is Not Always a Good Thing
    Mar 29 2026
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 368, “Getting More Is Not Always a Good Thing,” Kim discusses the deeply dark period of time in the Southern Kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Manasseh. To go from the God-honoring reign of Hezekiah to the long, evil reign of his son Manasseh must have been a bit of cultural whiplash. Sadly, the reforms Hezekiah had made did not withstand his son’s persistently idol-focused agenda. And yet, there are millions of Christ-followers across our world today living under similar or even darker spiritual conditions. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 21:1-18, and with 9 as the focal verse: 9 But the people refused to listen, and Manasseh led them to do even more evil than the pagan nations that the Lord had destroyed when the people of Israel entered the land. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: Pause and pray for your persecuted brothers and sisters across the world.
