Why does worship feel shallow? Why does preaching feel flat? Why has passion for God gone cold? The answer might be simpler — and more uncomfortable — than you think: a low view of God.

In this episode, we open in Isaiah 6 — widely considered the greatest passage on the holiness of God in all of Scripture — and trace it through the story of King Uzziah, the seraphim, Palm Sunday in John 12, and the return of Christ in Revelation 19. What we find is a thread that ties the whole Bible together: God is a holy King, and understanding that changes everything.
Topics we cover:
- What A.W. Tozer meant when he said your view of God is the most important thing about you
- King Uzziah — what pride, prosperity, and a low view of God's holiness cost him
- The seraphim in Isaiah 6 — who they are and why they cover their faces
- What "Holy, Holy, Holy" actually means (and why it's the only attribute tripled in Scripture)
- The connection between Isaiah 6 and Palm Sunday in John 12
- Why God is not self-deprecating — and why that's actually good news
- The difference between a quantitative and qualitative view of God
- Revelation 19 and the return of the King
