This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Episode Notes:

Ideally, parents should model what their children ought to be, and children should follow in their footsteps. When father and mother provide a good example, that’s a blessing. When they provide a bad example, the path forward is still clear, and the child must choose differently.

But what happens when a parent provides a mixed example? Not entirely good, not entirely bad. A confusing blend of obedience and disobedience, devotion and compromise, strength and weakness. That can be very difficult for a child to navigate.

 Well, in the Old Testament, we find a story of a king who faced exactly that situation. His father’s life was a mixture of moments of obedience, moments of rebellion, but also moments of strength and moments of failure.

 The question is: What can we learn from his choice?

 That story is recorded in 2 Chronicles 2, a short chapter, but a deeply instructive one. So, join me in this brief but powerful passage as we explore how Jotham handled the confusing legacy left to him, and what his example can teach us today….
