About this episode

Vic Green explores the themes of love and judgment in the book of Hosea, focusing on chapters 11 and 12.

What does it look like when God's love refuses to let go? In this episode, Vic Green continues his first-person journey through the book of Hosea, stepping into the prophet's voice to bring chapters 11 and 12 to life. These chapters hold some of the most tender words in the whole book — a God who taught His people to walk, who lifted them to His cheek, and whose compassion burns stronger than His anger. Through themes of unfaithfulness, judgment, redemption, and restoration, this series reveals the depth of God's covenant love and why it still matters today. Whether you're new to the Bible or wanting to go deeper, Hosea's story speaks straight to the heart. 📖 This week: Hosea chapters 11–12 — "Love Triumphs Over Judgment" 🎧 Episode 7 — the final episode of the Hosea series — will be released in a fortnight, after which Vic will be taking a short break.
