Day 164: Tearing Down Idols (2026)

Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[gentle music] Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day one hundred and sixty-four. We are reading from First Kings chapter fourteen, Second Chronicles chapters fourteen and fifteen, and we're reading the Song of Solomon chapter three. As always, the Bible translation that I am reading from is re- is the Revised Standard Version Second Catholic Edition. I am using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

We are reading First Kings fourteen, Second Chronicles fourteen and fifteen, and Song of Solomon chapter three. The First Book of Kings, chapter fourteen. Judgment on the House of Jeroboam. At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. And Jeroboam said to his wife, "Arise, and disguise yourself, that it may not be known that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said of me that I should be king over this people. Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what shall happen to the child."
