  • Summary

  • Elizabeth Woodson is joined by Mason King to have a conversation about how the prophets called Israel back to repentance but they did not listen, so God eventually responds by enacting judgment upon them by sending them into exile.

    Questions Covered in This Episode:
    • What is exile and why is this event significant in the life of Israel?
    • What hope does God give Israel while they are in exile? What is the significance of this hope being given during a season of suffering/judgment?
    • We love talking about hope, but we don’t always like talking about judgment. What are some of the reasons we have a hard time embracing this part of God’s character?
    • How has your understanding of these interconnected themes of judgment and hope impacted how you love God and love others?
    • How do The Prophet and the themes of judgment and hope point us toward the gospel?
    Helpful Definitions:
    • Exile: Having to leave where you are from to go to another place against your will, knowing you can’t go back and you want to go back.
