Join Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream as they explore the powerful tension between God's holiness and justice in the book of Micah, tackling difficult questions about judgment, national decline, and where believers should place their hope.

Scripture Focus: Micah 1:1–4:13 - The prophet Micah confronts corruption and religious hypocrisy in Israel and Judah, delivering messages of judgment while pointing toward future restoration.

In This Episode:

• Why judgment prepares the way for renewal
• How believers should respond during times of national decline

Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski examine Jesus's letters to the final two churches in Revelation—Philadelphia's faithful endurance and Laodicea's dangerous complacency.
