About this episode

The episode explores Elijah's motivations and concerns during his ministry amidst Israel's backsliding.

Elijah's ministry to Israel at a time of rampant backsliding is a challenge and an encouragement to us in the days of apostasy in which we live. But what drove Elijah? What was his abiding concern—his activating conviction? Reed S. Rusniak takes us to the heart of the prophet's motivations. This week's article, the first of a projected six-part series in the print magazine, is from the June 2026 issue. Featured resource: Reed S.
