What if it comes back familiar? In this comeback episode of Kingdom Living with Tish, we open Isaiah 48, Galatians 5, and the story of Samson in Judges 16 to talk about what happens after God brings us through a difficult season. The furnace may have exposed some things, but it also taught us some things. The question is: What are we doing with what we learned? We talk honestly about temptation, repeated access, misplaced confidence, boundaries, and the danger of entertaining something that has already shown us where it wants to take us. This episode asks one central question: What did the furnace teach you that you are now responsible for remembering? Sometimes the evidence that you’ve been refined is not that the old thing never knocks again. Sometimes the evidence is that you answer the door differently now.
