Episode 97: Under the Radar — “The Prophet, the Lion, and the Lie"

In this sobering episode of the “Under the Radar” series, we examine the unnamed prophet of 1 Kings 13 — a man who began in full obedience but ended in fatal compromise. God gave him an unmistakably clear command, and he followed it… until another voice claimed to speak for God and led him astray. This episode confronts a tension every man faces: the danger of listening to the wrong voices — even “religious” ones — and the cost of partial obedience. The prophet’s tragic encounter with the lion reveals how crucial discernment, obedience, and spiritual alertness are for men who want to finish well. Good beginnings do not guarantee faithful endings. This story calls men to guard their ears, anchor themselves in God’s Word, and remain steadfast to the mission God has given them.
