In this week’s episode of The Wholehearted Households Podcast, host Helen Lee introduces us to the books of Hosea and Amos, reflecting on how God uses images and metaphors to reveal larger truths about His relationship with His people.
Our Bible spotlight focuses on how Hosea models God’s covenant faithfulness and how Amos’s visions remind us of how God is both just and merciful.
Then, our discipleship nugget equips you to discuss God’s faithfulness with your family and to choose a physical reminder of His mercy throughout your week.
Finally, our spiritual practice invites you to practice freely submitting all parts of your life to God as an act of faithfulness.
Wherever you listen, may you and your family be blessed by this episode as you seek to follow Jesus with your whole heart.
