Each episode takes the week’s scripture study and focuses on three clear gospel principles, using stories, questions, experiences, and practical application to help teenagers understand not only what the scriptures teach, but how those teachings can make a difference in their own lives. Episodes are intentionally shorter, engaging, and easy to use for personal study, family discussion, youth lessons, or class preparation. Most importantly, the goal of Come, Follow Me for Teens is to help young people come closer to Jesus Christ, recognize His influence in their lives, and discover how the gospel can help them navigate the experiences and challenges they face every day.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-07T06:24:28.921563+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/come-follow-me-for-teens-6045146"},"episode":{"title":"Come Follow Me for Teens: \"He Trusted in the Lord God of Israel\" (2 Kings 16-25)","slug":"come-follow-me-for-teens-he-trusted-in-the-lord-god-of-israel-2-kings-16-25","published_at":"2026-07-12T22:50:36+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/come-follow-me-for-teens-6045146/come-follow-me-for-teens-he-trusted-in-the-lord-god-of-israel-2-kings-16-25","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/come-follow-me-for-teens-6045146","url":"https://joshdowns.com/come-follow-me-for-teens/2-kings-16-25","audio_url":"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6260f0a87844217da9258e62/t/6a5418f87825930f699d57e4/1784502217826/Ep.183+CFM+for+Teens+-+He+Trusted+in+the+Lord+God+of+Israel.mp3","summary":"Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on 2 Kings 16–25: “He Trusted in the Lord God of Israel.” We’ll talk about Israel being carried away captive and how ignoring the Lord’s voice and breaking covenants can lead us away from true freedom; how God’s commandments are not meant to control us, but to protect us; King Josiah’s rediscovery of the book of the law and how each of us must discover the scriptures for ourselves; and Josiah’s reforms as a powerful pattern for repentance and change. As we increase the light of Jesus Christ through scripture, prayer, worship, covenant connection, and the Holy Ghost, the things that once pulled us away from God can begin to lose their power. • Get this week’s Study & Teaching Guide: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-resources/p/come-follow-me-for-teens-2-kings-16-25-study-teaching-guide • Join the Come Follow Me for Teens membership for full access to weekly lessons, early episodes, teaching guides, devotionals, and resources: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-membership","meta_description":"Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on 2 Kings 16–25: “He Trusted in the Lord God of Israel.” We’ll talk about Israel being carried…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":null,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/come-follow-me-for-teens-6045146/episodes/come-follow-me-for-teens-he-trusted-in-the-lord-god-of-israel-2-kings-16-25/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/come-follow-me-for-teens-6045146/come-follow-me-for-teens-he-trusted-in-the-lord-god-of-israel-2-kings-16-25.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
