Daniel: Trusting in God's Control
IVP
What does Daniel 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 Daniel, reflecting on different connotations of the word prophecy and how moments of prophetic drama in Scripture reveal truths about God.

Our Bible spotlight focuses on the two main types of literature in the book of Daniel and how each chapter reveals an important theme: God is in control, and He will have the final victory.
Then, our discipleship nugget equips you to reflect on Daniel and his friends’ courageous examples of faithfulness amid persecution, and encourages you and your family to learn about other figures in church history who offer a similar witness of faithfulness.
Finally, our spiritual practice invites you into a time of listening prayer, where we, like Daniel, can practice making space to hear God’s voice.
Wherever you listen, may you and your family be blessed by this episode as you seek to follow Jesus with your whole heart.
