A Message for Jerusalem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Arise+Abide, Curtis and Sally read Isaiah 22, where Jerusalem prepares for destruction by strengthening its walls, gathering weapons, and storing water—yet never turns to the Lord. They discuss how repeatedly placing our trust in worldly security can weaken our inclination to seek God when trouble comes. The chapter also contrasts Shebna's self-exalting leadership with Eliakim's God-given authority, pointing ahead to Jesus as the humble servant and only One worthy of ultimate
Another Warning About Immoral Women (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Proverbs 7, a father warns his son about the destructive consequences of following temptation. Curtis and Sally discuss how temptation often disguises itself as something desirable, convenient, or perfectly timed while concealing the harm it will cause.

A Message About Egypt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Isaiah 19, the Lord confronts Egypt's misplaced trust in idols, human wisdom, and earthly power. Curtis and Sally discuss how these false sources of security leave the nation fearful, divided, and unable to save itself—and how we can similarly rely on worldly advice rather than beginning with prayer, Scripture, and trust in God.
