Join The Chara Project as they journey into the fourth era of the Story of the Bible—the Kingdom era—one of the most dramatic and complicated sections in the Biblical story spanning Joshua through 2 Chronicles.

Following the Exodus era following the Israelites out of Egypt, this era traces their move into the Promised Land, their battles with deeply corrupt nations, and their struggle to remain faithful to God in a world full of competing influences.

You’ll explore the famous conquests under Joshua, meet unexpected heroes like Rahab, and see how a nation meant to represent God quickly spiraled into a 400-year cycle of rebellion, rescue, and repentance during the time of the Judges. Then comes Israel’s turning point: their demand for a king. Through the rise of Saul, the courage of David, and the wisdom—and downfall—of Solomon, we see that even the best human leaders cannot fix the human heart.

This era also introduces some of the Bible’s most powerful themes: the longing for a righteous King, the promise of an eternal kingdom through David, and prophetic glimpses of the coming Rescuer. As the kingdom fractures and the people drift further from God, the prophets call them back with warnings, truth, and surprising hope.

If you want to understand the Old Testament as one unified story pointing to Jesus, this episode will change the way you read the Bible.
