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: \"If The Lord Be God, Follow Him\" (1 Kings 12-22)","slug":"come-follow-me-for-teens-if-the-lord-be-god-follow-him-1-kings-12-22","published_at":"2026-06-28T23:53:36+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/come-follow-me-for-teens-6045146/come-follow-me-for-teens-if-the-lord-be-god-follow-him-1-kings-12-22","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/come-follow-me-for-teens-6045146","url":"https://joshdowns.com/come-follow-me-for-teens/1-kings-12-22-if-the-lord-be-god-follow-him","audio_url":"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6260f0a87844217da9258e62/t/6a41b22e7a855c413b3c16c2/1783283105490/Ep.181+CFM+for+Teens+-+If+The+Lord+Be+God+Follow+Him.mp3","summary":"Study & Teaching Resources This week’s episode focuses on 1 Kings 12–22: “If the Lord Be God, Follow Him.” We’ll talk about Rehoboam and Jeroboam and how wrong voices, pride, fear, convenience, and counterfeit worship can pull our hearts away from God; Elijah and the widow of Zarephath and how choosing faith over fear can invite the Lord to bless, preserve, heal, strengthen, and restore us; and Elijah’s powerful question on Mount Carmel — “How long halt ye between two opinions?” — as an invitation for teens to examine what they are really following and choose Jesus Christ with an undivided heart. • Get this week’s Study & Teaching Guide: https://joshdowns.com/cfm-resources/p/come-follow-me-for-teens-1-kings-12-22-if-the-lord-be-god-follow-him • 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 1 Kings 12–22: “If the Lord Be God, Follow Him.” We’ll talk about Rehoboam and Jeroboam and…","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-if-the-lord-be-god-follow-him-1-kings-12-22/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-if-the-lord-be-god-follow-him-1-kings-12-22.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
