EP 131: The Weeping Prophet We Can Relate To

Most people can recite Jeremiah 29:11, but what does the rest of the book of Jeremiah have to offer us today? Why was Jeremiah called The Weeping Prophet? Well, you are going to find out on this week's episode. Jeremiah has lots of reasons to weep during his days of warning the Israelites of the coming judgement of God for worshipping false gods. He has the hardest job in the world, preaching to those who hated him, abused him, tried to kill him, isolated him, and ignored his warnings. Jeremiah loves his people and faithfully answers God's call, yet he had his own personal struggles and mental health challenges. You will see this mighty prophet in a different light while you gain a brief overview of the book of Jeremiah. Join us!

Let's see, I've got Suzanne that has subscribed on my YouTube channel, and Jonathan Clemons has subscribed, thank you. [00:00:54] And Jonathan has been interacting with my Facebook and social media [00:01:00] posts. So thank you, Jonathan. I appreciate that. Somebody's actually seeing my posts. I just never know. Speaking of posts, you've probably seen the big fiasco with the Dalai Lama. I don't even know what to say to that. [00:01:17] This whole, you wanna suck my tongue. Saying that to a child is unacceptable. [00:01:23] And I, I think a lot of you agree with that. He should never have said that to a child. [00:01:29] Not surprised, but still appalled anyway. And we need to teach our children the good touch and the bad touch and what's appropriate interaction between adults and children.
