This week in our Elijah series, we discussed one of the Old Testament’s most dramatic showdowns—Elijah versus the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18. Charlie Loften walked us through the divided kingdom of Israel and the rise of syncretism, as the nation wavered between following God and embracing other local deities. We examined how Elijah boldly challenged the false prophets, calling on God to demonstrate His power before the people. Through this story, we explored the implications of worshipping “watered down” versions of God versus following the one true God, and how Elijah’s courage models the kind of bold faith we’re called to in our own lives. Whether you’re wrestling with questions about faith in today’s culture or just wondering what it looks like to stand firm in your beliefs, this episode invites you to reflect on repentance, commitment, and the reality of God’s singular power. Listen in and consider: where do you need to take a stand or turn back to God today?
