the Chosen People

Episode 21

Fire and Brimstone P. 2

Lot’s family escapes the destruction of Sodom, highlighting God's judgment, obedience, and the consequences of looking back at a sinful past.

Have you ever struggled to let go of something God asked you to leave behind? In Genesis 19, Lot’s wife looked back at Sodom and paid the ultimate price for her disobedience. She became a pillar of salt, a lasting reminder of the danger of holding on to what God has clearly condemned. This story challenges us to examine our hearts. Is there anything we’re clinging to that could prevent us from fully embracing God's plan for our lives? God calls us to move forward in faith, trusting that His ways are better. Like Lot's family, we must trust His guidance, no matter how difficult leaving the past behind may be.
