Ep. 214: Do You Suffer from Tunnel Vision? - a podcast by A Country Girl in a City World -- Loving Jesus
from 2023-04-16T18:00
SHOW NOTES:
In Podcast Episode 214, “Do You Suffer from Tunnel Vision?” Kim discusses the dangers of refusing to consider other perspectives beyond your own.
Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Samuel 18:19-33 with the focal verses of 19-20, 22-23.
19 Then Zadok’s son Ahimaaz said, “Let me run to the king with the good news that the Lord has rescued him from his enemies.”
20 “No,” Joab told him, “it wouldn’t be good news to the king that his son is dead. You can be my messenger another time, but not today.”
22 But Ahimaaz continued to plead with Joab, “Whatever happens, please let me go, too.”
“Why should you go, my son?” Joab replied. “There will be no reward for your news.”
23 “Yes, but let me go anyway,” he begged.
Joab finally said, “All right, go ahead.” So Ahimaaz took the less demanding route by way of the plain and ran to Mahanaim ahead of the Ethiopian.
