Jeremiah: Embracing God's Everlasting Truths

What does Jeremiah have to do with everyday family discipleship?


In this week’s episode of The Wholehearted Households Podcast, host Alex Blount introduces us to the book of Jeremiah, reflecting on the risks involved when telling the truth, and how the prophet Jeremiah risked everything in pursuit of sharing God’s truth.


Our Bible spotlight focuses on God’s great plans for Jeremiah and what this means about our own identity and calling, especially when we’re faced with seasons of exile.


Then, our discipleship nugget equips you to incorporate Scripture into your family’s daily routine so God’s Word may be written in your minds and hearts.


Finally, our spiritual practice invites you to reflect on the difficulties of truth-telling and to embrace the truths of who God says you are.


Wherever you listen, may you and your family be blessed by this episode as you seek to follow Jesus with your whole heart.
