Episode Summary: To the spiritual leaders of the church at Corinth, the Apostle Paul issued the challenge: Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong (1 Cor 16:13). Men are called to lead their homes and churches with spiritual power. This calling of Christian men to spiritual strength is one of the reasons for studying the life of Elijah. The spiritual might and power of Elijah are well known. In fact, when the angel of the Lord wanted a metaphor to explain to Zechariah the spiritual might his promised son, John the Baptist would wield, the angel said he would go before the Messiah in the spirit and power of Elijah. This episode examines the source of Elijah’s spiritual power, his astonishing faith.

- What do you see as the relationship between loving our comfort zone and growing our faith?
- How does Elijah’s approach to prayer relate to what Jesus taught about prayer in Like 5?
