  • I HEAR YOUR PRAYER

    I HEAR YOUR PRAYER
    Jul 12 2026
    In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 2 Chronicles 14-20; 26; 30, discovering what some of the greatest prayers in scripture teach us about the heart of God. Through the lives of Asa, Jehoshaphat, and Hezekiah, we see leaders who faced impossible situations yet continually turned to the Lord, trusting that His power was greater than any obstacle before them. As armies gathered, kingdoms were threatened, and fear surrounded them, these faithful kings chose prayer before panic. Whether facing overwhelming odds, uncertain futures, or desperate personal trials, they sought the Lord with humble hearts, believing that God hears every cry and remains faithful to His promises. Their stories remind us that prayer is not a last resort but the first place we can turn when we don't know what to do. This episode also explores what it means to fix our eyes on God instead of our fears. Rather than counting reasons to give up, these kings remembered who God is and what He had already done for His people. As they trusted Him, the Lord answered with guidance, protection, peace, and unexpected miracles, showing that His graciousness reaches every sincere soul who calls upon Him. Above all, these chapters offer hope for anyone who has ever wondered if heaven is listening. The same God who heard the prayers of ancient kings still hears ours today. He sees every tear, knows every burden, and invites us to bring every fear before Him. No prayer offered in faith goes unnoticed, because our God is gracious, merciful, and always ready to hear His children.

  • THE FIRST STRING

    THE FIRST STRING
    Jul 5 2026
    In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 2 Kings 16–25, following the final years of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. As one kingdom falls and another struggles to survive, these chapters reveal that the greatest danger was never the nations surrounding them, but the slow drift of hearts turning away from God. Even in seasons of decline, the Lord continued to invite His people to return, reminding us that repentance is always an invitation to come home. Through the faithful examples of Hezekiah and Josiah, we see what it looks like to seek God with a whole heart. They opened the doors of the temple, restored true worship, gathered the people, rediscovered the scriptures, and removed anything that drew hearts away from the Lord. Their stories remind us that spiritual renewal often begins with small, intentional choices to place God first, trust His voice, and create room for His presence in our lives. This episode also explores the voices we choose to listen to. While the enemy filled God's people with fear, doubt, and discouragement, the scriptures continually pointed them back to truth, hope, and covenant promises. Whether through worship, scripture study, generosity, or quiet acts of repentance, every step toward God helped retune hearts that had slowly drifted out of harmony. The Lord never stopped inviting His people to return, no matter how far they had wandered. Although these chapters record the fall of kingdoms and the sorrow of exile, they end with a quiet reminder that God is never finished with His people. Even after loss and captivity, He continued preparing the way for restoration. The same promise is true today. No matter where our story has taken us, the Lord continues to call us back, restore what has been broken, and remind us that with Him, our story is never over.

  • THE SAME GOD

    THE SAME GOD
    Jun 28 2026
    In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study 2 Kings 2–7 and discover that the God who worked miracles through Elijah is the same God who continues to work through Elisha. As one prophet passes the mantle to another, these chapters remind us that God's power has never been limited to one person or one generation. He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever, still healing, providing, rescuing, and strengthening His children. From the healing of the waters at Jericho to the widow's overflowing oil, each miracle points beyond Elisha and toward the heart of God. Whether providing more than enough for a grieving family, reminding us that repentance brings lasting healing, or showing that His blessings often exceed our expectations, these stories reveal a Savior whose grace is abundant. God is not interested in merely helping us survive. He delights in restoring, multiplying, and making us whole. The story of Naaman teaches that God's greatest miracles often come through simple acts of faith. Though Naaman expected a dramatic solution, healing came through humble obedience as he washed in the Jordan River. These chapters invite us to trust that God is patient with our growth, willing to work with us through every attempt, every setback, and every step toward becoming completely clean. His purpose is not partial healing, but complete restoration. The episode concludes by showing that no concern is too great or too small for the Lord. Whether raising a child back to life, helping someone recover a borrowed axe head, or answering the quiet prayers of everyday disciples, God cares deeply about every part of our story. Together, these chapters testify that the same God who performed miracles in the Old Testament still works in our lives today, inviting us to trust Him, seek His Spirit, and believe that His power is never exhausted.
