Description

Episode Summary:  Elijah was the biblical superstar, the hall of famer, who singlehandedly was used by God to turn the hearts of Baal-worshipping Israel back to Yahweh. But the Bible insists there was nothing special about Elijah. “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit” (James 5:17-18). This podcast series looks for clues about this ordinary man who accomplished a most extraordinary feat—turning fallen hearts back to the worship of the true God. This episode examines the God’s faith-building bootcamp, and how Elijah’s faith muscles were built.    

For Further Prayerful Thought. 

1. What do you think is the significance of the four words from Elijah’s story turned their hearts back. How does that relate or not related to your prayer concerns?
2. How would you use the example of a tight rope walker crossing over Niagara Falls to explain the difference behind faith that is a mental nod of agreement and a life-changing choice to trust?
3. What stood out most to you about the way God strengthened the faith muscles of Elijah by the brook Cherith?
