About this episode

The episode discusses the relevance of the ancient books Joel and Amos to contemporary American society, focusing on themes of distraction, faith, and societal change.

A massive disaster. A nation distracted by comfort. Religious people going through the motions while ignoring what actually matters. Sound familiar? This week we're unpacking Joel and Amos, two ancient books that feel shockingly current. We talk about why people usually don't change until life falls apart, how prosperity can quietly pull us away from God, and why Amos says your faith should be impossible to hide.
