The Ministry of Isaiah Begins

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally explore Isaiah 6 alongside brief readings from 2 Kings 15 and 2 Chronicles 26, reflecting on the momentous beginning of Isaiah’s ministry. As Isaiah encounters the holy presence of God, he is undone by the contrast between divine purity and human sin. Yet, with a burning coal, God cleanses Isaiah—transforming impurity into purity and calling him into service. Curtis and Sally discuss the profound implications of this vision: God’s glory fills the earth, yet hardened hearts may still fail to perceive it. The conversation highlights the hope of renewal—even when we feel cut down—and the importance of staying spiritually responsive to God’s call.
