What defines success in God’s eyes? As 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles introduce us to the early rulers of Israel and Judah, one truth stands out—faithfulness matters far more than achievements. Some kings led with righteousness, while others plunged their nations into idolatry and ruin. From Jeroboam’s rebellion to Asa’s brief spiritual revival, this episode of The Wisdom Journey reveals the key principle behind every leader’s rise or fall. What does God’s evaluation of these kings teach about priorities today? Discover how faithfulness to God determines true success—then and now.
