In this week’s episode of The Wholehearted Households Podcast, host Alex Blount introduces us to the books of Joel and Micah, inviting us into a posture of openness as we dive into the Minor Prophets.
Our Bible spotlight focuses on Joel’s characterization of “the day of the LORD,” and Micah’s instructions for how to faithfully live today.
Then, our discipleship nugget equips you to take the first steps toward purposeful, contextualized, and loving action with your family, putting the words of Micah 6:8 into practice.
Finally, our spiritual practice invites you to reflect on how God’s sovereign goodness is revealed in “the day of the LORD” and practice releasing control through a breath prayer.
Wherever you listen, may you and your family be blessed by this episode as you seek to follow Jesus with your whole heart.
