    S4:220 Habakkuk
    2025/09/13
    "Why does Habakkuk begin with a complaint rather than a call to repentance or judgment like other prophets? In Habakkuk 2:4, what does it mean that “the righteous shall live by faith,” and how would a sixth-century Israelite have understood that phrase? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Seth Master talk about the lament that is seen in this book. Habakkuk reminds us that faith does not remove suffering, but it transforms our response to it.

  • S4:219 Nahum

    S4:219 Nahum
    2025/09/12
    "Why does Nahum focus so heavily on Nineveh’s downfall when Jonah showed its repentance? In Nahum 1:2–3, God is described as both avenging and slow to anger. How should we interpret this tension in God’s character? In today's episode, Emma Dotter gives more historical background for the book of Nahum and unpacks how God's mercy is wise, but this justice is also sure. Emma helps us think about how God's character can display both patience and judgment against sin.

    S4:218 Micah
    2025/09/11
    "In Micah 6:6–8, what’s the historical or covenantal background that helps us understand why “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly” was such a striking call? Why does Micah alternate between judgment and hope so often? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Jonathan Linder, set up the book of Micah and talk about the character of God that is seen in both his judgment and mercy.

    S4:217 Obadiah, Jonah
    2025/09/10

    In Obadiah, why is Edom singled out for such strong judgment? In Jonah 4, why is Jonah so angry about Nineveh’s repentance—and what does that reaction reveal about his understanding of God?

    Amos begins by indicting surrounding nations before turning to Israel—why might he structure his message this way, and how would that have impacted his original audience?
