We journey with Micah through the dust of ancient Judah to a future when swords become plowshares, nations stream to God's mountain, disputes are settled without violence, and families rest under their own vines and fig trees without fear.

Worship divorced from integrity, He warns, is worthless. “Guard yourself in your spirit and do no…
When the world feels overwhelming and God seems silent, you're not alone. The prophet Habakkuk stood in that same tension 2,600 years ago, wrestling with silence and daring to ask heaven hard questions: Why do the wicked thrive while the righteous suffer? How can a holy God work through injustice? Habakkuk’s raw honesty shows us that real faith isn’t afraid of doubt. God’s answer wasn’t simple—it unsettled more than it solved. But in watchful waiting, Habakkuk found strength. His story …
“I have loved you,” says the Lord—yet Israel responds with doubt, exposing a deeper spiritual crisis.
