Welcome to the School of Ministry. In this episode we explore the Bible story of Naaman, a Syrian commander healed of leprosy after a captive Israelite girl points him to Elisha. Naaman’s journey from pride and anger to humble obedience—dipping seven times in the Jordan—reveals God’s power and grace.
The episode highlights faith over ceremony, the prophet’s refusal of gifts, and Naaman’s struggle with compromise in worship, offering practical lessons on humility, trust, and simple obedience to God.
