Episode notes
Rescue Then Rejection
- God rescues Israel like a king who finds and restores an abandoned orphan, using many acts of care to rebuild her life.
- Israel then values the king's gifts more than the king himself and trusts her beauty over her Rescuer.
Idolatry's Escalation And Root Sin
- Idolatry escalates from taking gifts to giving gifts and sacrificing what matters to secure lovers.
- Tara-Leigh links Sodom's core sin to pride, excess, and neglect of the poor, not just the sexual acts.

- Don't focus only on visible sins; seek the heart issues like pride and neglect of the poor that underlie them.
- Consider how prosperity can produce haughtiness and moral blindness toward needy people.
