DISCUSSION - The Anti-Conquest: Ahab, Jezebel, and the Undoing of Promise

This episode reads an ancient sermon as a story of deliberate undoing and restoration: King Ahab reverses Israel’s founding by rebuilding enemy strongholds, promoting Baal worship, and driving out Elijah, while the New Testament presents Jesus as the targeted restorer who reverses that damage through specific miracles and actions. It closes by connecting this repair to the Eucharist and challenges listeners to notice where they or their communities repeat cycles of undoing—and what a personal reconquest might look like.
