Last week we started the book of Ezekiel by reading just a few chapters. Now we’ll spend the next two weeks in this epic book.
In this week’s reading, we’ll come to the end of the prophecies against Jerusalem because this is when the siege of the city finally happens, followed by its quick fall. We’ll also read about Ezekiel as he endures a huge personal loss, followed by a command from God to do something that will help us understand how difficult the role of the prophet truly is.
But there’s hope as well. Before the week ends, we’ll see the tone shift from the condemnation of Jerusalem to the condemnation of her enemies. This will set the table for the last segment of the book where God will bring them hope in their sorrow.
The Bible Reading Coach podcast is designed to help anyone read through the Bible in a year. In 10-15 minutes each Friday, I’ll introduce you to the passage for the following week, including:

- How to deal with challenging passages

How Congregations Can Help Pastors Overcome Declining Well-being
Pastors may be surrounded by people, but that doesn’t mean they have their support. It takes a church for a pastor to rest well.

“In the first twenty years of the movement, research focused on principles; lately the focus has been on discovering new techniques, programs, or methods.” (Elmer Towns)
