#025 "The Lion of the Tribe of Judah" (Isaiah 9:4-5)

Kate Season 1 Episode 25

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. 5 For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.  (Isaiah 9:4-5, ESV)

“Good versus evil.” It’s the story we’re drawn to over and over again. From epic battles in Middle-earth to underdogs triumphing in the boxing ring, these tales remind us of one simple truth: good can overcome evil. But what about the battles we face in real life? The ones that feel overwhelming, unending, and unwinnable?

In this episode, Kate dives into Isaiah 9:4-5—a passage rich with vivid imagery of broken yokes, trampled warriors, and even garments burned in victory fires. What does it all mean? It’s a bold proclamation that our God wins. Not just at the end of time but at the end of today’s battles too.

In this episode, we’ll explore how Jesus, our victorious King, has already conquered sin and death to usher in a new era of peace. Kate shares listener stories of real-life struggles and reminds us of the incredible truth: no matter the burden you’re carrying, God has already seen it, answered it, and given you the ultimate gift in Christ.

If you’re weary from the fight, this episode will breathe hope into your heart and inspire you to remember the victory that’s already been won.
