    Asa and Why Success Makes Us Stop Depending on God, Come, Follow Me, July 13–19, 2 Kings 16–25

    King Asa didn't stop believing in God—he slowly stopped depending on Him. In this episode of The Doctrine Drop, we explore the powerful story of Asa from 2 Chronicles 14–16 and discover how success can quietly reshape the way we think. Drawing on neuroscience and behavioral psychology, we'll examine why our brains naturally begin taking more credit for our successes, how that can lead to greater self-reliance, and four research-backed practices that help us stay humble, teachable, and dependent on the Lord. Whether you're studying Come, Follow Me (July 13–19) or simply looking to strengthen your faith, this episode will help you recognize the subtle drift that can happen during seasons of success—and how to interrupt it before it changes your relationship with God.

    Before the Miracle: The Science of Waiting on the Lord, Come, Follow Me July 13–19: 2 Kings 16–25

    What do you do when you've prayed—but nothing has changed? In this episode of The Doctrine Drop, we explore the remarkable story of King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 18–19 and discover what he did before God delivered Jerusalem from the Assyrian army. Then we turn to modern neuroscience and psychology to examine how the brain responds to prolonged uncertainty and learn practical, research-backed strategies for waiting faithfully. Together, scripture and science reveal how to trust God's timing, stay emotionally grounded, and remain faithful while waiting for answers that haven't come yet.
