This week on Behind the Pulpit, Pastor Bob and Pastor Dave explore Isaiah 7, looking at fear versus faith, King Ahaz’s misplaced trust, and God’s promise of “Immanuel” even in the middle of failure. They unpack the surprising euphemism behind “cover your feet” and talk about why the prophets sometimes used shocking language to get people’s attention.

The conversation also covers a heavy news cycle, including a tragic attack on a house of worship in Michigan, the passing of Voddie Baucham, and the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Bob and Dave reflect on how to pray, how to think, and how to hold on to hope when the news feels overwhelming.

On a lighter note, there’s a Giants and Cowboys update, a quick football overtime debate, and the return of the Great Book War with two new recommendations for you to vote on. The episode wraps up with a Theology Sprint on the difference between biblical and systematic theology and a preview of next week’s discussion on the “age of accountability” and Isaiah 9:6–7, where we meet the promised Prince of Peace.

Join us for a thoughtful, timely, and encouraging conversation designed to help you trust God, grow in faith, and engage with the world around you.
