In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 1 Kings 12-13; 17-22 and explore the divided kingdom of Israel, the ministry of Elijah, and the many ways God shows up in our lives. Through stories of kings, prophets, miracles, and personal struggles, these chapters remind us that faith is not about choosing the easiest path, but about trusting God enough to keep moving forward even when we cannot see the outcome. As the kingdom divides under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the discussion highlights the danger of choosing convenience over covenant commitment. The temptation to make discipleship easier often comes at the cost of sacrifice, growth, and devotion. Dave and Grace reflect on how spiritual strength is built through consistent faithfulness, reminding us that some of the deepest blessings come not from avoiding difficulty, but from remaining dedicated when the journey requires effort. The heart of the episode follows Elijah’s remarkable experiences during a time of drought and uncertainty. Whether being fed by ravens, helping a widow whose oil never fails, or witnessing God’s power on Mount Carmel, Elijah learns again and again that the Lord provides exactly what is needed. These stories invite us to get off the bench and step into faith, trusting that God can work through unlikely circumstances, unexpected people, and miracles that often begin with simple acts of obedience. The episode concludes with Elijah’s moments of exhaustion, discouragement, and renewal. Under a juniper tree and later on a mountain, he discovers that God does not always appear through dramatic displays of power. Sometimes He comes through a meal, a moment of rest, a small cloud on the horizon, or a still small voice. Together, these chapters testify of a God who is both powerful and personal, who keeps His promises, strengthens His people, and remains present through every season of the journey.
