Show Notes

In this episode, I walk you through 1 Kings 21 and the story of King Ahab, focusing on the moment that changed the outcome of his life. This passage shows us the difference between outward behavior that looks humble and a heart that is truly repentant, and how God responds when humility is real.

Together, we explore:

The difference between pouting and true repentance
Why God responds to humility more than sacrifice
How genuine repentance can delay judgment and invite mercy
What it actually means to humble yourself before the Lord
How humility changes outcomes in our lives and relationships

I draw from Scripture throughout this teaching, including 1 Kings, Psalms, Proverbs, Micah, James, Philippians, and the Gospels, to show that humility is not weakness. It is obedience. It is posture. And it is the only way forward when God confronts our hearts.

This message is both a warning and an invitation. If you are facing correction, conviction, or a difficult season, I want to help you see the mercy God is eager to extend when we truly humble ourselves before Him.
