Isaiah: Comfort and Confidence from Our Righteous God
What does Isaiah have to do with everyday family discipleship?
In this week’s episode of The Wholehearted Households Podcast, host Helen Lee introduces us to the book of Isaiah, reflecting on the different connotations of the word prophet, and how the prophet Isaiah spoke deep and enduring truth about God and God’s people.
Our Bible spotlight focuses on Isaiah 40 through 48, which reveals God’s divine comfort and care for His people, and invites us to confidently trust and intimately know our incomparable God.
Then, our discipleship nugget equips you to plant a garden with your family as an illustration of God’s generosity and His faithfulness to His promises of a new heaven and new earth.
Finally, our spiritual practice invites you to engage in a breath prayer, reflecting on God’s heart for justice and how you can align yourself to His calling.
Wherever you listen, may you and your family be blessed by this episode as you seek to follow Jesus with your whole heart.
