In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, we launch a new series: Serve Joyfully, reflecting on the dramatic story of Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings 2. Pastor Jenn and Liz are joined by Dr. Ryan Bonfiglio from the Candler Foundry and together they explore how Elijah’s departure in a fiery whirlwind and Elisha’s courageous step into leadership illustrate the challenges and blessings of answering God’s call. They unpack the role of prophets in Israel’s history—not as royal yes-men, but as truth-tellers and checks on power—and highlight how influence often outweighs authority in God’s work. Through discussion of mantles, water-parting miracles, and the symbolism of leadership transitions, the conversation draws parallels to modern faith, church leadership, and personal calling, inviting us to see ourselves in Elisha’s determination to step forward with courage and God’s Spirit.
