For today's episode of 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain and Rev. Dr. David Spence dive deep into the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah, exploring the remarkable return of nearly 50,000 exiles to Jerusalem and the emotional laying of the temple's foundation — a moment so powerful that weeping and shouts of joy became indistinguishable. The hosts examine the fierce opposition the returning people faced, Ezra's call to holy living and separation from surrounding nations, and the heartbroken prayer of Nehemiah upon learning that Jerusalem's walls still lay in ruins. Through it all, the message rings clear: God's hand is on every believer, and the question is never whether He is at work — but whether we are surrendered enough to move with Him.

In this episode of 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain and Rev. Dr. David Spence wrap up 2 Chronicles and step into the Book of Ezra, tracing the final chapters of Judah's history — from Hezekiah's great Passover revival to his dangerous drift into pride, and through the reigns of Manasseh, Josiah, and the kings who drove Judah into Babylonian captivity. After 70 years of exile, this installment closes on a remarkable note of hope as King Cyrus of Persia — moved by the hand of God — issues a decree allowing the people of Judah to return home and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. Throughout this passage, the hosts draw a timeless truth: whether a king is faithful or wicked, God is always in control. We invite you in to study this powerful transition from the history of the monarchy to the story of restoration!

For today's episode of 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence take a look at Judah's rebellion from God, as the people continue to worship idols under the leadership of wicked kings. However, the two also contrast this with Judah's return to the Lord under the leadership of kings like Hezekiah, who called the nation back to wholehearted worship to the one, true & living God. What's more, Pastor Kevin & Rev. Spence teach us in this installment about how these powerful chapters call each of us to return to God when the world seems to be falling apart around you.
