Ep. 284: God's Training Camp Drills

Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus Podcast

SHOW NOTES:

In Podcast Episode 284, “God’s Training Camp Drills,“ Kim discusses the training camp the Lord put the prophet Elijah through during the three years of solitude. The Lord wants to do miracles through each of us, but He needs to prepare us through spiritual disciplines, as well as through our daily lives. Are you leaning into what the Lord is seeking to do in and through you?

Our focal passage for this episode is 1 Kings 17:1-7 with 2-4 as the focal verses:

2 Then the Lord said to Elijah, 3 “Go to the east and hide by Kerith Brook, near where it enters the Jordan River. 4 Drink from the brook and eat what the ravens bring you, for I have commanded them to bring you food.”
