About this episode
This episode explores what God did for Elijah after he succumbed to fear, highlighting themes of brokenness and divine response.
Elijah called down fire from heaven. And then one threatening message from Jezebel sent him running face-down under a tree, telling God he might as well be dead. Fear does that. It doesn't matter what God just did for you. Fear has a way of making you forget all of it. First Kings 19 is the story of what God did next for Elijah and what He's still doing for us today. You'll discover: Why fear after a victory can be more disorienting than failure ever was What 1 Kings 19:4 reveals about praying from total brokenness Why God answered a threatening voice with a whisper — not a louder one What God said when Elijah told Him he was the only one left How God's answer to isolation almost always involves people Resources mentioned: One More Step: Finding Strength When You Feel Like Giving Up — rachelwojo.com/books/one-more-step The Hope Circle — rachelwojo.com/the-hope-circle Until next time, remember — God sees you, He hears you, and He knows your needs.
