The Purge of Ahab’s Family

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis delve into 2 Kings 9:30-10:17, and discuss the significance of Jehu's question, "Who is on my side?" as he challenges those around him to choose between allegiance to Ahab's family or obedience to God’s will. The hosts reflect on how Jehu's faith evolves throughout the passage, from initial skepticism to a firm belief in God's plan. Sally also ties this theme of choosing sides to contemporary experiences, such as navigating difficult decisions during election seasons.

Sally and Curtis emphasize the cost and promise of following God, drawing parallels to the choices believers face today. They highlight Jehu's acceptance of responsibility for his actions, the necessity of humble obedience, and the assurance that God’s promises will never fail.
