Episode description

📍 RETURNING TO BETHEL 📍

God is calling us back to the place of encounter, the place of surrender, the place of first love. ❤️

Jacob ran. He was lost, afraid, and far from where he needed to be. But in his distress, God said: "Go back to Bethel." 🏡🔥

Bethel wasn’t just a location—it was where Jacob met God, received a vision, and made a vow. But he drifted. He settled in Shechem, a place outside of God’s will. How many of us have settled where we shouldn’t be?

God is speaking again:
🔹 Go back to Bethel—where your heart first burned for Him.
🔹 Put away idols—anything that takes priority over God.
🔹 Renew your commitment—God’s grace is calling you home!

🔥 Bethel is waiting. Are you ready to go back? 🔥
