S1E19-The Rise of Solomon and the Glory of the Temple
May 15, 2026 • Chris Bryant
In Week 19 of the Year of the Word Companion Podcast, we journey through Psalms 119:129–176, Psalm 139, Psalms 148–150, and 1 Kings 2, 3, 6, 8, and 9:1–9. This episode explores the beauty of God’s Word, the intimacy of being fully known by God, the purpose of worship, and the rise of Solomon as Israel enters the era of the kings. We also introduce the Book of Kings and examine how wisdom, worship, and faithfulness become central themes in Israel’s story. Join us as we reflect on God’s presence, the danger of spiritual drift, and the call to wholehearted devotion.
