About this episode
This episode discusses Namaan's story from 2 Kings 5:1-16, emphasizing the importance of obedience in understanding God's ways.
Sunday School Week 1 | Namaan's story illustrates Andy Stanley's quote, "To understand, you must first obey," perfectly. Namaan was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy (v. 1). When he heard that there was a God who could heal him, he imagined his healing process as one fit for a king – but God had a simpler, quieter approach in mind.
