We're making a podcast this week with tools for our congregation on how to engage with 1-2 Kings. What appropriate timing for this to drop!
I feel like current generations are looking around thinking, "What has this God of yours done for me lately that I should believe him over my own gut instinct?" Yet they are subconsciously aware that they are neither qualified nor equipped to be masters of their own destiny. Hence the plague of anxiety and depression. "Hedging their bets" is a helpful metaphor.
In defense of the current generations, I think a fair number of them (us?) have seen previous generations of Christians hedge their bets too. Idolatry is often learned behavior—even if the idols changes.
