The season finale has finally arrived for Wifey Wednesdays season 21. Having spent two seasons overviewing the Old Testament, Emily wraps up the season by looking at the remnant’s return to the Promised Land. Having survived captivity, God’s people are brought back in waves to rebuild the temple, the walls, and ultimately, their knowledge of God and their obedience to Him.

This episode of Wifey Wednesdays focuses on the time of the prophets in our Old Testament history. While there was an entire episode dedicated to Elijah, this episode is intended to overview the work of all of the prophets and ultimately showcase how they were pointing to Jesus. Giving bits and pieces of detail about some of the prophets, Emily directs the listener’s attention to the blessing we have of living in a time that the prophets dreamed about — having the complete revealed will of God and knowing the scheme of redemption in full. This episode, while meant to round out our survey of the Old Testament, is hopefully going to encourage us to spend more time pouring over their words and basking in the goodness of God’s plan and the blessing of living in a time where we can benefit from the work of Christ in our own lives! 

Kristen, Kelly, and Ashley talk about modern day idolatry – what it looks like in its many forms, why it’s such a difficult struggle for all of us, and why it’s important to keep putting God back into the center of our lives.

How can we process that pain in a healthy, Christ-centered way?We dive deep into the gospel’s answer to broken relationships, disappointment, and betrayal within the body of Christ. With Scripture as our guide and personal experience as our context, we seek to offer practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for anyone who’s been hurt by the church—or by Christians.🎉 This wraps up our Season 5 miniseries!

When someone is wounded by the church—whether through conflict, disappointment, or betrayal—it can be a long road to healing. As fellow Christians, how can we walk alongside those who are hurting? What should support look like? And how can we avoid unintentionally making things worse?This is part four of our miniseries on Church Hurt, a candid conversation exploring the real pain that can happen within the church family, and how God’s people can seek healing together.
