Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is titled “The Consequences of Forsaking the Lord.” We all know that sin has consequences. We all know that turning away from the Lord carries a cost, but what do those consequences actually look like? How severe can they become, and how far-reaching can the fallout be? There are many answers to those questions found across the Bible, but since we’re studying 2 Chr...
