Bible Story Podcast
Jon: Today, we have an epic “Would You Rather” question that might have a few squirming in their seats!
Bradon: More to the point, we will tell a story about Two Lost Sons.
Jon: And you will have an excruciatingly difficult time answering the would you rather question – so much fun.
Bradon: More importantly, we will ask you which son you relate better to.
Jon: You are listening to the discussion questions for the episode God is Constant.
Bradon: We read about the difficulty and loss of momentum faced by the Jewish people trying to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. They were afraid and therefore had to dedicate half of their workforce to protection, making the building process even slower!
Bradon: Tune in to our next episode
Jon: As we discuss momentum and its relation to how we experience God
Bradon: You won’t want to miss out!
Bradon: You are listening to the discussion questions for the episode Build yourself on God.
Jon: We learned that Nehemiah wanted to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem to their former glory to help unify the people under God. And to lift Jeruselum to its former glory while refocusing on honouring God, which was no small task. As Nehemiah began, there were a lot of questions. The chapter ends with many people from all over the place joining in the effort to build the wall!
Bradon: Coming up in our next episode
Jon: You are going to learn what our favourite childhood toys were!
Bradon: It’s going to be awesome!
Jon: You will not want to miss it!
Jon: You listened to the story Obey God for Your Good, and this is the discussion episode.
Bradon: We saw Nehemiah’s heartbreak when he heard the report about Israel. He prayed and fasted, asking God to help. Later he spoke with the King and asked for his help which he received. He went to Jerusalem and found a few outraged officials because he had come to help the people rebuild the walls and gates.
Bradon: I hereby banish you, Jon Drebert, to the forests of Pigeon Lake Provincial Park!
Jon: What! Can I come back before winter?
Bradon: Nope
Jon: That sounds miserable.
Bradon: Coming up on the Bible Story Podcast, you will learn to obey God for your good.
Jon: This is the discussion episode for the story Choose Today.
Bradon: Elijah called all of Israel to choose between The Lord and Baal. He challenged the prophets of Baal to a showdown! Whichever God answered with fire on an alter would be considered the true God. Baal never responded even though the prophets prayed all day. Elijah prayed, and immediately the Lord God answered with fire burning up the wood, the bull, the stones, the dust. The fire licked up all the water poured on the altar and lay in the trench around the altar. It was a decisive victory for the Lord, and all the people proclaimed that the Lord was indeed the true God!
Jon: Imagine if you are in a challenge to the death.
Bradon: Oh, like an old western movie where the two guys have a gun duel.
Jon: No, more like a prayer duel to the death!
Bradon: That sounds crazy.
Jon: That is exactly what happened in the upcoming story! Stay tuned!
Jon: Would you rather die with honor in war or survive the battlefield but compromise your values?
Bradon: What, that’s a crazy hard “would you rather” question.
Jon: Today, we will learn the importance of living with honor.
