29: Images of the Desert — Wadi and En Gedi

In this episode of The BEMA Podcast, Marty Solomon, along with co-host Brent Billings and guest Elle Grover Fricks, conclude their series on desert imagery, focusing on wadis, living water (Maim Chaim), and wadi floods. They discuss the trust required when navigating wadis, the concept of God as the source of living water, and the invitation for individuals to be sources of living water for others, drawing from Psalms, Jeremiah, and Isaiah. The conversation explores the cultural context of the Festival of Tabernacles and Jesus's teaching in John 7 about living water flowing from within believers. The episode concludes with a discussion of wadi floods as a metaphor for life's challenges, referencing the Sermon on the Mount and Psalm 40, emphasizing the importance of building one's foundation on solid ground.
