Podcasts about Haggai

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch tackle a question many parents quietly wrestle with: Can we really afford to raise kids in today's world? Drawing from both research and real-life experience, they unpack the financial realities of family life and explore what it means to trust God's calling over cultural caution. Dr. Kathy emphasizes that parenting isn't just a financial decision, it's a spiritual one. She encourages parents to seek the Lord's guidance when considering children, to embrace sacrifice with joy, and to celebrate kids as image bearers, not economic burdens. Together, Wayne and Dr. Kathy connect these themes to the book of Haggai, reminding listeners that delaying obedience for financial security often leads to spiritual emptiness. Parenting, they say, is sacred temple work—raising the next generation to reflect God's glory in the world.

By Every Word, 10-6-25

hen life feels like rubble and the past looks brighter than the present, how do we find the courage to start again? Ericka Graham invites us to look at the story of Haggai and how God called His people to rebuild the temple before they felt ready, to choose hope over cynicism, and to trust that His presence makes even small beginnings holy.

Haggai 1 English Standard VersionThe Command to Rebuild the Temple1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest: 2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.” 3 Then the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?5 Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways.6 You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the Lord. 9 You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.10 Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors.”The People Obey the Lord12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord. 13 Then Haggai, the messenger of the Lord, spoke to the people with the Lord's message, “I am with you, declares the Lord.” 14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.English Standard Version (ESV)The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.ESV Text Edition: 2025. 

Greg Bryan and Jim Reske discuss practical lessons found in the book of Haggai that point us to Jesus.

In this powerful and convicting message from Haggai 1:1–11, we explore what happens when God's people prioritize their own comfort over His calling. The Israelites returned from exile with great purpose, yet soon neglected the rebuilding of God's house. Through the prophet Haggai, God confronts their misplaced priorities and reveals the costly consequences of spiritual neglect.

Inspired by the voices of prophets like Haggai and Zechariah, who urged the people to rebuild in the name of their God, Hunter joined Zerubbabel and Jeshua in rekindling the effort to reconstruct the Temple. Their work soon attracted attention from the authorities: Tataniah, the governor west of the Euphrates, accompanied by his associates, challenged the project, demanding to know who had authorized the reconstruction. Despite the obstacles and scrutiny, Hunter and his companions persevered, guided by faith and the encouragement of the prophets—striving to restore both their temple and their community spirit.

Here are 10 thoughtful discussion questions based on the October 3rd, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible: Reflecting on Ezra 5-6, what stood out to you about the rebuilding of the Temple and the challenges the Jews faced? How did God's intervention influence the outcome? In Psalm 138, David expresses deep gratitude and trust in God's faithfulness. Are there recent moments in your life where you experienced God's faithfulness in a personal way? In Luke 16, Jesus shares the parable of the shrewd manager. What lessons do you think Jesus wanted us to learn about stewardship, honesty, and the use of worldly resources? The story of the rich man and Lazarus highlights issues of wealth, privilege, and compassion. How do you see these themes playing out in your own life or in your community? Hunter discusses being blinded by riches and what it means to ‘forget your name.' In practical terms, what are ways we can guard our hearts against spiritual blindness or self-centeredness? What role do faith and trust play in our interactions with others, especially those in need, as reflected in the teachings of this episode? The episode highlights “the named ones”—those remembered in scripture for their faith. Who are the ‘named ones' in your own spiritual journey that inspire you? Hunter encourages listeners to take care of both body and soul. How do you balance spiritual and physical well-being in your daily life? Prayer is central to this episode. How has prayer—either through traditional prayers like the Lord's Prayer, or your own spontaneous prayers—shaped your relationship with God? The episode ends with the reminder that ‘you are loved.' How does knowing and internalizing God's love change the way you approach daily challenges and relationships? Feel free to use these questions for personal reflection or group discussion! Certainly! Here's a comprehensive sequence of topics covered in the episode "Daily Radio Bible – October 3rd, 2025," with sub-topic bullets for each primary topic: 1.

This episode weaves together Scripture reading, reflection, prayer, and practical life encouragement, offering both spiritual insight and daily life application for listeners. Today we dove deep into the wisdom of Ezra, Psalms, and Luke, exploring how faith, gratitude, and humility can transform both our personal and professional lives. We learned that true success isn't measured by wealth or status, but by the richness of our soul and our generosity toward others. Remember: Invest in what truly matters—your character, your purpose, and your impact on those around you. Let every day be an opportunity to build lasting value, both in business and in life. Absolutely! Here's a LinkedIn post inspired by the October 3rd, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast: On today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, I was reminded of the power of faith, perspective, and gratitude. Hunter took us through passages from Ezra, Psalms, and Luke—forming a moving meditation on humility, spiritual focus, and the value of small, daily investments in our souls. Here are three key takeaways that resonated with me: Guard against the blindness of privilege: The story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16) serves as a reminder not to let wealth or comfort blind us to our own need for God or the needs of others. Faithfulness in little things matters: Whether it's tending to the tasks at hand, caring for your health, or nurturing your relationships—Hunter encourages us to value the daily “little things” that shape our character. Invest in what truly pays off: As Hunter beautifully put it, spending time listening, reflecting, and drawing near to God is an investment that yields lifelong dividends, unlike many of the distractions that vie for our attention. Let's prioritize what's truly valuable—both in our spiritual journeys and our day-to-day routines. Have you made time lately for what matters most? #DailyRadioBible #Faith #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualWellness #Gratitude Subject: Feasting with the Named Ones – DRB Newsletter for October 3, 2025 Dear DRB Family, Grace and peace to you on this beautiful October day! As always, thank you for joining us on our daily journey through the Bible. Our latest episode, "October 3rd, 2025," is now available, and we're so glad you could share in this time around the warmth of God's love. Today's Readings: Ezra 5-6 Psalm 138 Luke 16 Highlights from This Episode In today's reading, we revisited the incredible story of how faith, perseverance, and God's providence enabled the Israelites to rebuild the temple amidst opposition. As we learned from Ezra, even earthly kings like Cyrus and Darius can become surprising instruments in God's redemption story. Psalm 138 reminded us of God's constant faithfulness, while in Luke 16, Jesus offered the stirring parable of the rich man and Lazarus. A Reflection on Names, Riches, and Faith Host Hunter shared a poignant meditation on the difference between the “named ones” and the nameless in Jesus's story. While the rich man in the parable was left without a name—lost in his riches and blind to his need for God—Lazarus was named, honored, and welcomed at Abraham's side. The reminder for us: our trust belongs not in wealth or reputation, but in the God who raises the humble and knows us by name. Let us nurture hearts that recognize our need for God and rejoice in the gifts—both earthly and eternal—that He freely gives. Daily Encouragement Hunter also encouraged us to move our bodies in gratitude for the life we have, just as we invest time nourishing our souls with Scripture. Whether it's a walk outdoors, a gentle stretch, or simply deep breaths of fresh air, these moments can remind us of God's presence. Let's Pray Together As always, this episode closed with heartfelt prayers of thanksgiving, intercession, and the Lord's Prayer—rooting us in God's goodness and mercy each new day. Action Steps: Take some time today to move your body and thank God for the life and breath you've been given. Reflect on the ways God has named and loved you, regardless of your circumstances. Invite someone to listen to today's episode and join our community of daily Bible readers. Thank you for investing these precious moments into your soul. Until next time, remember: you are loved.

Zephaniah 3; Haggai 1-2; Zechariah 1

In this episode of the City Rev Life Podcast, part of the One Generation series, Host Craig Stephens sits down with Pastor Robey Barnes and Angelica Barros to unpack one of the most practical yet challenging aspects of the initiative—giving. Together, they explore how generosity is more than numbers on a page; it's an act of worship and trust in God's provision. From navigating limited resources to handling disagreements about finances within a family, the conversation offers both spiritual encouragement and real-world wisdom. Grounded in the book of Haggai, this episode invites listeners to seek God's guidance, step out in faith, and discover the joy of aligning their resources with His greater mission.

We see here, again, by another prophet of God, an explanation of the displeasure of God. God reminds the of the glory that was in the temple that Solomon built. However, God let them know that the second temple would be of greater glory that the temple Solomon built. Nevertheless, because of sin and insincereness in their hearts God would remove His glory. But the prophet spoke of our day when the kingdom of Jesus Christ would prevail against all odds. God has constantly had to punish His people over time because no matter how much He showed and now shows His people love they have constantly disobeyed Him causing the indignation, wrath, and fury of God to destroy what some thought they were set for life with. But He will preserve the righteous until the coming of the day Jesus Christ to get the righteous out of the earth.

How could two short chapters in the Bible written over 2500 years ago by a man with a strange name have such a powerful effect upon people today? Let's listen and find out.

In this episode, we'll see how God uses both encouragement and challenge to keep the Israelites on track. Then He artfully flips bureaucracy into a miraculous blessing and an all-expenses-paid second Temple build.Themes of this podcast:God gives us both encouragement and exhortation. Just as Haggai challenged and Zechariah encouraged the Israelites, God knows when we need a push and when we need comfort. In our lives today, He still provides both through Scripture, wise friends, and the Spirit's leading to keep us moving forward in His plans.Opposition can become God's tool for good. The Israelites faced constant resistance, yet God flipped the script so  their enemies ended up funding the second Temple. In the same way, challenges in our lives can refine our character and become the very means God uses to strengthen our temple and glorify Him.God always finishes what He starts. The second Temple was completed because God orchestrated leadership, prophecy, government decisions, and the people's zeal. This reminds us that the Lord is faithful to complete the good work He begins in us, even when the process feels delayed or uncertain.Show notes:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Wednesday Oct. 1 2025, sundownEnding nightfall of Thursday Oct 2, 2025This morning we shall discuss the “Day of Atonement” or known as “Yom Kippur” [ Yom = the day, Kippur = ask for forgiveness].  Other words this is a special Feast in which you and I ask our Heavenly Father for all those sins which we may have overlooked throughout the past year.In recognition of Yahweh's Words, we are instructed to honor and respect His 7 Holy Feast periods. Check out Lev. 23 and Deut. 16. Now I realize that the conditions set forth by Yahweh differs from what He sets forth in the beginning. What caught my interest into these 7 Holy Feasts was the Prophetic Message contained within them. We find that within these 7, 4 are in the season of the spring, while the remaining 3 are in the fall or “harvest.  In studying the Prophecy aspect of Yahweh's Words, we realize and conclude that these 7 Holy Feasts play an important role in the Prophecy of Yahshua Messiah concerning the past and the present. Let's take a brief view of the first 4 Feasts:The Feast of Passover pointed to Yahshua's death on Calvary as “the Lamb of Yahweh, who taketh away the sin of the world”, John 1:29 The Feast of Unleavened Bread attested to the fact that Yahshua's body, unlike all others would not decay in the grave. The Son of Yahweh, in speaking with His Heavenly Father said, “for Thou wilt not leave My soul in hell, neither wilt Thou permit Thine Holy One to see corruption” Psalms 16:10 The Feast of Firstfruits proclaimed the certainty of His bodily resurrection. The acceptance by Yahweh of the Firstfruits [sheaf] of the spring barley harvest guaranteed a full harvest to follow. By virtue of the resurrection of Yahshua Messiah, He is the Firstfruit and guarantees that all the Saints within Him will one day rise from the grave. The Feast of Pentecost, which occurs exactly 50 days after Firstfruits [the resurrection of the Messiah] anticipated the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the origin of the “Ek-kelsia”. We read in the Jewish Talmud, in the tractate of Sotah, foli #48 it reads in part “when Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi died, the Holy Spirit departed from Israel; nevertheless they made use of the Bath Kol.” [a divine voice from Heaven] These 4 events in the life of Yahshua Messiah, which the 4 spring feasts depicted, are history. We can look back at these events and they can be examined as historical facts. We can say that the first 4 set the foundation for the remaining 3. [As I think on this foundation, I think of the Tabernacle, which is to come, and when this Tabernacle comes, then all of His Elect come to dwell in the eternal] The fall Feasts have not yet occurred! They are yet future and predict with absolute certainty, events that will most assuredly unfold. As the 4 spring Feasts were fulfilled literally and right on schedule in connection with the Messiah's first coming, the 3 Fall Feasts will likewise be fulfilled literally and right on schedule in connection with His second coming. What about the future of the Day of Atonement? Read Hebrews 10:1; Hebrews 9:6-14 As we read last week on that Feast of Trumpets. We find in Rev. 11 those 2 witnesses, when they rose after those 3 ½ days. In verse 15 we read of that 7th trumpet being blown. From the time of that trumpet sound until that final cup of wrath is poured out, we have that opportunity to make atonement for our sins that took place during the tribulation period. Especially those that followed after that false messiah, thinking he was that true Messiah. What a sad sight, as some flee to the mountains praying for the rocks to fall on them, instead of making atonement. Have any questions? Feel free to email me, keitner2024@outlook.com 

Pastor Marshall Ochs | September 28, 2025In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Haggai. The book addresses the Israelites' failure to rebuild God's temple after returning from exile, confronting their misplaced priorities and calling them to “consider their ways.” God challenges the people to stop focusing on their own homes and instead get to work on the temple — a call that now applies to us as we build up God's kingdom within ourselves and our communities. When the people responded with obedience and reverence, God promised renewed blessing, showing that faithful “temple work” leads to fruitfulness and ultimately points us to Jesus Christ.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this September 27th episode, join your host Hunter as we gather from all across the globe to warm our hearts by the fire of God's love and dive deep into the scriptures together. Today, we're exploring the powerful messages of Haggai chapters 1 and 2, the perseverance expressed in Psalm 129, and the compassionate challenge of Luke 10—including the story of the Good Samaritan. Hunter offers insightful reflections, reminding us that, in the gospel story, Jesus is the true hero—the neighbor we've all been waiting for—meeting us in our need and restoring us with mercy and love. Through guided prayer and heartfelt gratitude for the DRB community's 12 years together, Hunter invites us to nourish our souls, rediscover our center in Christ, and remember that we are loved—deeply and without limit. Find encouragement, challenge, and comfort in today's reading, and let's continue this journey of faith together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He's the neighbor we've all been waiting for. Blessed are the eyes that see what you have seen, Jesus says to his disciples. Many prophets and kings longed to see what you see, but they didn't see it. They longed to hear what you hear, but they didn't hear it. In the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus asks us who we see. Do we see ourselves as the hero, the one who shows mercy, the good neighbor, the one who helps the person in need? It's easy to turn this gospel story into a morality tale and put ourselves in the place of the Good Samaritan. But that's not what Jesus is showing us. No, Jesus is telling us that we are the wounded one lying in the ditch—beaten, left half-dead, unable to help ourselves. We are the ones in desperate need of rescue. Religion and the world pass us by, unable or unwilling to help. But God, as the true Good Samaritan, is the hero. He sees us, comes to us, binds up our wounds, soothes us with oil and wine, and brings us to a place of rest and healing. He does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. He is the neighbor we have all been waiting for. Mary, sitting at his feet, gets it—she listens to every word and knows that Jesus is the one to be concerned about, the one who brings rescue, not our own efforts or striving. It is Jesus who finds us in the ditch and makes us whole. He cares for us and continues to provide, even when we don't see him at work. So today, when we ask, “How do I inherit eternal life? Who is the hero of my story?”—may we see clearly that it is Jesus who is the Good Samaritan, Jesus who justifies us, rescues us, and brings us life. Not the work of our hands, but the limitless mercy and love of God. Let us rejoice that we have such a Savior. Let us remember every day that it is not about our being the hero, but about sitting at the feet of the one who is. That's the prayer I have for my soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image.

Evening lessons: Psalms 51; Haggai 1; Matthew 14.  Have mercy upon me, O God, in your great goodness; according to the multitude of your mercies wipe away my offences.

"Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours." - 1 Chronicles 29:11If God owns it all, what does that mean for the way we manage money? Brian Holtz is here to unpack the Five Pillars of Financial Discipleship—principles that, when embraced by families, bring freedom and joy to their finances.Brian Holtz is the CEO of Compass Financial Ministry and the author of Financial Discipleship for Families: Intentionally Raising Faithful Children.More Than Money ManagementWhen it comes to managing money as followers of Christ, the Bible calls us to more than financial freedom or peace of mind. It calls us to financial discipleship—a life of stewardship, surrender, and multiplication for God's Kingdom. Here are five key pillars that shape this journey.Pillar One: OwnershipEverything begins with recognizing who truly owns it all. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 24:1, Haggai 2:8, and 1 Chronicles 29:11 that God is the Creator and ultimate Owner of everything. Our role is not ownership but stewardship. This mindset shift—from “mine” to “His”—brings both relief and challenge. It's freeing to know the responsibility doesn't all rest on us, but humbling to realize our lives and resources are not ultimately ours to control.Pillar Two: SurrenderAcknowledging God's ownership requires surrender. Luke 14:33 makes this clear: discipleship means yielding everything back to God, not just intellectually but in our hearts. This surrender extends beyond giving—it includes how we spend, save, and plan. Trusting God's plan over our own is an act of daily obedience.Pillar Three: ChoiceIn Matthew 6:24, Jesus tells us we cannot serve both God and money. Every financial decision—whether saving, giving, or spending—reveals who we serve. Choosing God requires aligning daily habits with His Word, even when it feels counterintuitive. As Isaiah reminds us, God's ways are higher and better than ours.Pillar Four: MultiplicationDiscipleship is never meant to stop with us. In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus calls us to multiply what He has entrusted to us. This means sharing what we've learned and inviting others into the journey. Financial discipleship involves helping others apply biblical wisdom so that God's Kingdom continues to grow.Pillar Five: Eternal FocusFinally, discipleship means setting our eyes on eternity. Jesus said in Matthew 6:19–21 to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth. But these treasures aren't material—they're about our relationship with Christ. Living with an eternal focus keeps us from being distracted by temporary wealth and anchors our hope in Him alone.How Financial Discipleship DiffersIt's easy to confuse financial discipleship with financial stewardship or freedom. Stewardship may stop at wise resource management, but discipleship goes further—it's about helping others learn, apply, and multiply biblical truth for God's glory. True discipleship always leads to transformation, both personally and in community.Compass Financial Ministry exists to equip believers to live this way. Through resources, training, and community, they help people break free from the love of money and serve God more fully. Financial discipleship is really about helping others learn, apply, and multiply everything for God's glory, rather than for our own. To learn more, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm about to receive money from a relative's trust and want to place it in a high-yield money market account.

Today in History: Governor Zerubbabel, Joshua the High Priest, and the people resumed rebuilding the second Holy Temple (see Haggai 1:14). “They came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the king.”This week's portion is called Nitzavim (Standing)TORAH PORTION: Deuteronomy 30:1-6GOSPEL PORTION: Acts 20:17-38What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something about God?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

Send us a textSomething shifted when I heard about Charlie Kirk's assassination. Though I wasn't his follower, his silencing struck a chord deep within me—a wake-up call for those of us who've played it safe with our faith. Have you felt it too? That nudge to stop hiding, to speak what you believe despite the cost?Jesus warned us plainly: "If you live on God's terms, the world is going to hate you." As a Gen-Xer who spent decades in survival mode, building comfortable walls around my life, I've avoided boldness. But when the Holy Spirit stirs, procrastination becomes disobedience. The prophet Haggai's words cut straight to my heart: "How is it that it's the right time for you to live in your fine new homes while God's temple is in ruins?" Where have I prioritized my comfort over courage?What Satan doesn't understand is that silencing one voice often awakens millions more. You don't need a perfect life or a massive platform to speak truth—just a yielded heart and the Holy Spirit's power. When we choose to meditate on what's true, noble, and beautiful as Philippians 4:8 instructs, our minds begin to filter the world differently. While forces try to hijack our focus with fear and division, God is stirring His people across generations. Your voice matters. Your testimony counts.

This week, Pastor Robey Barnes challenges us to see the purpose God has placed on our generation. Through the inspiring story of Daniel Inouye, a World War II hero who displayed incredible courage and sacrifice, and the biblical account of the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple in Haggai, we're reminded that God is stirring His people for something significant. Just as God moved King Cyrus to resource and lead the rebuilding of the temple, He is at work today, uniting churches across South Florida for a spiritual awakening. Though challenges and opposition will come, the foundation has already been laid — and it's our call to rise up, build, and pass the hope of Jesus to the next generation. Join us as we step into this historic moment together and discover how you can be part of what God is doing through the One Generation movement.

"Why does Haggai date his prophecies so precisely—with references to the reign of Darius and specific days? And in Haggai 2, God says the future glory of the temple will be greater than the former. How would Zerubbabel's audience have understood that promise? In today's episode, Emma Dotter is joined by faithful Watermark Member Karis Smith to talk all things Haggai.
