    2 Chronicles 14-20; 26; 30 Part 1 • Sister Heather Farrell • July 20-26 • Come, Follow Me

    What if the most powerful religious leader in ancient Judah was the king’s mother? Sister Heather Farrell walks us through 2 Chronicles and the queen mother whose name the record keeps even when it forgets everything else, and makes the case that the covenants have always traveled through the household and through family stories far messier than we’d like to admit.
