Episode Summary
In this episode of No Dusty Bibles, we explore 2 Chronicles 13–14, where King Abijah and King Asa both face overwhelming battles but experience victory because they relied on the Lord. These chapters remind us that success comes not from our strength but from dependence on God’s power.

God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Acknowledgment
In our daily readings, we are grateful to utilize the World English Bible (WEB) translation, a resource committed to making the words of Scripture accessible to all. The WEB is in the public domain, allowing it to be freely used and shared. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the contributors and supporters of the World English Bible for their dedication to making this valuable translation available to the public. Their work enables us to explore and share the Bible's teachings with everyone, furthering our mission to make the Bible accessible and available for every woman.

We're committed to making the Bible relatable + understandable.
With over two decades of Bible study leadership, Heather brings depth, insight, and a genuine passion for scripture. Her unique journey through life’s highs and lows offers a relatable touchpoint, making scripture come alive in personal and transformative ways. Hannah is always on deck to tackle questions, dish out encouragement, and hook you up with the best resources!
This podcast is an extension of the No Dusty Bibles reading plan, where we read through the Bible just two chapters a day at a sustainable and rewarding pace. Our goal is simple. We're here to help you keep your Bible dust-free.
Join us anytime. We cycle through the Bible every four years.
