Remember, Return, Repent

About this episode

This episode discusses the story of the prophet Huldah and how remembering and returning can sustain our repentance.

Summary 2 Kings 22 is the little known story of the prophet Huldah, a faithful woman whose interpretation of the Torah led to a great season of repentance. In this episode I pair that story with Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are , and suggest how our own repentance can be sustained by remembering and returning. Episode 68 | Remember, Return, Repent Hosted by Jeff Hoffmeyer, Denver Institute's Vice President of Advancement and Theologian in Residence, this podcast seeks to focus on the practice of prayer through scripture as a primary way to know, trust, and rest in God in our daily work and life. I would love to hear from you! Please reach out to me at jeff.hoffmeyer@denverinstitute.org with your feedback.

It's a small way to support the mission—and it means a lot to us.
