Safety and comfort aren’t the highest values of the Christ-follower—obedience is. In this episode, we explore the biblical portraits of Ahab, Jezebel, Obadiah, and Elijah, asking hard questions about fear, compromise, and the call to live with strength and humility. From discerning God’s voice in a hostile culture to worshiping like Scripture commands, this conversation calls us to walk in the Spirit of Elijah—rooted in God’s Word, surrounded by godly counsel, and ready to follow Jesus no matter the cost. 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: 1 Kings 18:1-19; Revelation 2:18-29 • Hosts: Pastors Joby Martin, Michael Olson and Jonathan Vinke • Wild at Heart - John Eldridge • Tolerating A Jezebel Spirit in the Church - Pastor Josh Howerton • Men’s Worship Night 📌 Supplemental Resources • The Gospel Has No Walls – Warden Paul Kish's Story • What Kind of Man Are You? - Elijah: Wk 4 • Elijah Sermon Series About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
