Episode Details

Pastor Ken Werlein takes us to 2 Chronicles 20, where King Jehoshaphat faces a coalition of three armies with no time to prepare and no plan to execute—and reaches for something no one expected: a fast and a prayer. From that ancient moment, Ken draws three convictions for how we face the hard things: run to God before you run to the details, show up to the gathering because there are things that happen in a room full of God's people that a screen simply cannot replicate, and sing before you see—because Jehoshaphat sent the choir out front, Paul and Silas worshipped at midnight, and heaven moved as they began to sing. The valley where God worked was renamed Berakah—blessing—not for the battle fought there, but for the worship that happened there. Ken's challenge is simple: what are you reaching for first?
