In this episode, we explore the remarkable life of Enoch, a figure who stands apart in Scripture as the man who never died. Drawing from the Book of Jude, Genesis, Hebrews, and the broader biblical narrative, we uncover four defining traits of Enoch’s life: he walked with God, pleased God, defended God, and was ultimately taken by God. We reflect on what it truly means to walk with God daily—not just physically, but spiritually and relationally. Through Enoch’s unwavering faith, we see how faith is central to pleasing God and how his prophetic voice challenged a corrupt generation. Enoch’s bold defense of God’s honor and the hope of divine rescue resonate deeply with believers today. Join us as we connect Enoch’s legacy to Noah, Elijah, Jesus, and the promised return of Christ, and consider what it means to live a life so aligned with God that it leaves a legacy of faithfulness. The episode closes with personal reflection questions to help listeners consider their own walk with God.
