Description

What happened when Jesus preached His first sermon in Nazareth? Why did His hometown try to throw Him off a cliff? In this episode of Discover Your Roots, we explore Luke 4:16–30 from the breathtaking overlook of Mount Precipice.

Join host Avery Chenault and New Testament scholar Dr. Eric Turner as they stand above the Jezreel Valley to unpack one of the most dramatic moments in the Gospels. From Jesus reading Isaiah in the synagogue to the sudden shift from amazement to rage, this episode reveals how geography, culture, and biblical context deepen our understanding of Scripture.

Overlooking Mount Tabor, Mount Carmel, and Megiddo, Mount Precipice helps us see why Jesus’ words challenged expectations of the Messiah—and why His message of good news for all people sparked rejection.
