Losing the Crown: Kings, Vision, and the Virgin Birth (Ep. 223)
Description
Along the way, I unpack the Jehoiakim/Jehoiachin (Coniah) curse to show a compelling, “political” proof of the virgin birth, then turn to Lamentations to reflect on how a people lose their crown when they lose their God-given vision—contrasting that with Caleb’s steadfast faith in Joshua 14.
We close by urging personal examination, renewed zeal for the Gospel’s “foolishness” of preaching, and a call to recover our vision before it’s too late. I also preview tomorrow’s conversation on past life regression therapy with guest Craig Meriwether and share service times for those local to Eagle Pass.
