About this episode

This episode explores the cautionary tale of two bad kings, Rehoboam and Jeroboam, and the lessons learned from their disobedience and pride.

In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB continues her July Bible deep-dive with the cautionary story of two bad kings—Rehoboam and Jeroboam—whose pride and disobedience split Israel into a northern and southern kingdom. Learn how Rehoboam's harsh, foolish leadership drove ten tribes to rebel, how Jeroboam traded God's promise of an enduring dynasty for golden calves and idolatry, and how the prophet Ahijah's warning ultimately came true. Through their downfall, KB unpacks timeless lessons on consistent devotion, the danger of seeking God only in seasons of trouble, and the sobering truth of Galatians 6:7—“God cannot be mocked; a man reaps what he sows.” Anchored in July's memory verse, Romans 12:12, this episode challenges you to seek the Lord wholeheartedly and build your life on a firm foundation of faith.
